Chap 4- Hemodynamic disorders Flashcards
balance concept of body fluid distribution
- fluid loss = fluid intake
- electrolyte loss= electrolyte intake
how is fluid intake regulated?
thirst mechanism and drinking habits
how is electrolyte intake regulated?
dietary habits
how is fluid output regulated?
kidneys
how is electrolyte output regulated?
kidneys
interstitium
- space between cells
- outside of capillary
- made of collagen fibers and proteoglycan
what are the determinants of net fluid movement?
- capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc)
- interstitial fluid pressure (Pif)
- plasma colloid osmotic pressure (Pi-p)
- interstitial fluid colloid pressure (Pi-if)
capillary hydrostatic pressure
- Pc
- pressure comes from heart
- forces fluid outward through capillary membrane
- depends on arteriole resistance and venus pressure
interstitial fluid pressure
- Pif
- opposes filtration/ capillary pressure
plasma colloid osmotic pressure
- Pi-p
- causes osmosis of water inward through membrane
- albumin in plasma creates pressure
interstitial fluid colloid pressure
- Pi-if
- causes osmosis of fluid outward through membrane
flitration
- getting fluid/ion/solute outside of blood
- is a positive number
reabsorption
- get fluid/ion/solute into blood
- is a negative number
how to calculate net filtration pressure
(Pc-Pif) - (Pi-p - Pi-if)
unit is mmHg
hyperemia
- arteriolar dilation causes increased BF
- affected tissue turns read
- active process
congestion
- reduced outflow of blood from tissue
- can be systemic or localized
- passive process
Edema
- swelling caused by excess fluid in interstitial space in tissues
pathophysiology of edema
- increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
- decreased plasma proteins
- increased capillary permeability
- lymphatic failure
ways in which capillary hydrostatic pressure can be increase
- excess fluid retention by kidneys
- decreased arterial resistance
- increased venous pressure
factors that protect against edema
- lymphatic flow increases
- fluid entry will raise interstitial pressure so fluid will move back towards capillary
- fluid entry into interstitium lowers pressure by dilution and lymphatic mediated removal of interstitial proteins
effusion
- accumulation of fluid in body cavities
- can be transudate or exudate
transudate effusion
- protein poor
- fluid leaks out of capillary but protein stays
- causes pitting edma
exudate effusion
- protein rich
- produces swelling but no pitting
major causes of systemic edema
- heart failure
- renal failure
- reduced plasma osmotic pressure
pulmonary edema
- usually caused by cardiac disease
- fluid builds up in alveoli
- cannot exchange gases as well
ascites
- extra fluid in peritoneal cavity
- results in abdominal distenstion
main causes of non-pitting edma
- moderate to severe lymphedema
- pretibial myxedema (associated with graves disease)
what is normal hemostasis?
- involves platelets, clotting factors, and endothelium
- occurs at site of vascular injury
- results in blood clot
