Ch. 4 Hemodynamics Flashcards
Edema
Accumulation of fluid in Tissues
Effusions
Accumulation of fluid in body cavities:
- Pleural
- Pericardial
- Peritoneal
2 primary causes of fluid accumulation
- Increased hydrostatic pressure
2. Decreased plasma oncotic pressure
Under normal conditions, what system removes the fluid that naturally accumulates in tissue?
Lymphatics
Describe the fluid that accumulates in a non-inflammatory state of edema
Protein-poor (Transudate)
Examples of Pathologies caused by increased hydrostatic pressure causing edema/effusion
CHF
Ascites
Thrombosis
Examples of pathologies caused by reduced oncotic pressure (hypoproteinemia)
Nephrotic syndrome
Malnutrition
Nephrotic Syndrome
Loss of protein in urine due to abnormally permeable glomerular capillaries
Factors that can cause lymphedema
Trauma
Fibrosis
Tumors
Infections
Patient presents with edema of the external genitalia and lower limbs bilaterally. What is the name of this presentation and what is caused by?
Elephantiasis caused by parasitic filariasis
Dependent Edema
Edema that is influenced by gravity
Periorbital edema is a common characteristic of disease affecting what organ system?
Severe Renal Disease
Chylous Effusion
milky peritoneal effusion caused by lymphatic blockage
Hyperemia
arteriolar dilation leads to increased blood flow resulting in erythema.
Congestion
Passive process resulting from reduced outflow of blood from tissue. (Venous block)
- Caused primarily by increased hydrostatic pressure
Morphology of chronic pulmonary congestion
Septa of alveoli are thickened and fibrotic with hemosiderin-laden macrophages called heart failure cells
Describe nutmeg liver
Acute hepatic congestion causes the central vein and sinusoids to be distended. Centrilobular hepatocytes that are distal from the hepatic arteries undergo ischemic necrosis.
Hemostasis
process by which blood clots form at sites of vascular injury
Hemorrhagic disorders
excessive bleeding caused by insufficient hemostatic mechanisms to control blood loss
Thrombotic disorders
Abnormal clotting within intact blood vessels
Hemostasis steps
- Arteriolar Vasoconstriction by endothelin
- Primary Hemostasis by exposure of vWF and collagen that promotes platelet adherence
- Secondary Hemostasis (deposition of fibrin)
- Clot resorption
Tissue factor
Binds and activates factor VII
Function of ADP and TxA2 in hemostasis
Induce platelet aggregation via GpIIb-IIIa binding to fibrinogen
a-granules of platelets
contain P-selectin, fibrinogen, Factor V, and vWF
d-granules of platelets
contain ADP, ATP, Ca, Serotonin, and epinephrine
How does Aspirin cause a mild bleeding defect?
Inhibits platelet aggregation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase which reduces TxA2 production
Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
Defect in GpIIb-IIIa leads to decreased binding of platelets to fibrinogen.
Define the Intrinsic Pathway of clotting
XII–> XI–> IX + VIII–> X + V –> Thrombin–> Fibrin
Define the Extrinsic Pathway of clotting
VII–> VII + TF–> IX–> X + V–> Thrombin–> Fibrin + XI
* Factor XI then activates Factor IX
Figure 4-6
What role to platelets play in the clotting cascade?
Provide negatively charged phospholipid surface for the assembly of coagulation factors
