Chapter 4: Hemodynamics and shock Flashcards
edema vs effusion
edema - interstitial space
effusion - potential space (body cavities)
mechanisms of edema
increased intravascular hydrostatic pressure
reduced plasma oncotic pressure
increased vascular permeability
lymphatic obstruction
what can cause increased intravascular hydrostatic pressure
sodium and water retention
congestion
hyperemia vs congestion
hyperemia - too much blood arriving (physiological, arterial) (precapillary sphincter helps control)
congestion - not enough blood leaving (pathologic)
results of heart failure
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
decreased renal blood flow
what can cause decreased oncotic pressure
what is lost
liver failure
malnutrition
nephrotic syndrome
albumin (protein) is lost
PE and imaging signs of heart failure
soft tissue and pulmonary edema and pleural effusions
what causes the increase in hydrostatic pressure in heart failure
retention of sodium and water –> increased volume = decreased oncotic pressure due to dilution
decreased pump activity –> backup of pulmonary venous circulation (congestion)
2 mechanisms of edema/ascities in liver failure
decreased production of albumin portal hypertension (congestion)
two ways renal failure can lead to edema
retained sodium and water (RAAS) nephrotic syndrome (excess protein loss in urine)
what is kwashiorkor
protein deficiency bc of malnutrition
–> decreased albumin –> edema
what would result in UNILATERAL(localized) edema
lymphatic obstruction – lymphedema
removal of lymph nodes (breast cancer example for UE)
what is elephantiasis
localized edema caused by parasitic filariasis (wuchereria) in lymph channels and nodes
describe heart-failure cells
hemosiderin-laden macrophages
result of chronic congestion. appears in lungs
what is congested in hepatic congestion
most common cause of hepatic congestion
central vein obstruction/flow reduction
advanced heart failure
signs of chronic hepatic congestion
“nutmeg liver”
hepatocyte necrosis, centrilobular pattern
central vein obstruction/flow reduction
what occurs in primary hemostasis
formation of platelet plug
steps in primary hemostasis
adhesion
activation
aggregation
primary player in primary hemostasis
platelets
what is important in the adhesion of platelets to endothelial wall
vWF (von willebrand factor) – on subendothelial surface
Gp1b (glycoprotein 1b) receptor – on platelet
useful marker of endothelial cells
weibel-palade bodies
significant source of vWF (houses it in the cell)
Bernard-soulier syndrome
deficiency of Gp1b receptor
giant platelets
von Willebrand factor disease
deficiency of vWF
what occurs to platelets after adhesion?
activation
conformational change
Gp2b-3a change – fibrinogen links
secretion of ADP and TxA2 – initiated by thrombin
function of ADP and TxA2 after adhesion
ADP - more activation
TxA2 - more aggregation
what inhibits TxA2
aspirin
what allows for aggregation
conformational change of Gp2b-3a
bivalent binding of fibrinogen and subsequent cross-linking
Glanzmann thrombasthenia
deficiency of Gp2b-3a complex
