Edema
________________
Inflammatory Edema
Pathogenesis of septic shock
- Endotoxin - producing gram negative bacilli
- LPS and other microbial substances induce injury and activation of the vascular endothelium
- Stimulate WBCs to release cytokines
- Vasodilation and prothrombotic diathesis
Describe what happens during the primary hemostasis step of normal hemostasis
- Endothelial injury exposes highly thrombogenic subendothelial ECM allowing platetlets to adhere and be activated
- Activation of platelets results in a dramatic shape change and release of secretory granules lead to further platelet aggregation to form the primary hemostatic plug
- Secreted products recruit additional platelets
Hemostasis
Arrest bleeding by physiological properties of vasoconstriction and coagulation or by surgical means
Anti-coagulation factors secreted by endothelium
Prostacylin
Nitric Oxide
Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)

Hyperemia
Pro-coagulation factors secreted by endothelium
Thromboplastin
Platelet Activation Factor (PAF)
Von Willebrand Factor
Describe what happens during the secondary hemostasis step of normal hemostasis
- Tissue factor is exposed at the site of injury
- Thrombin cleaves circulating fibrinogen into soluble fibrin creating a fibrin meshwork deposition
- Thrombin also induces further platelet recruitment and granule release
Venous Infarcts
Intensely hemorrhagic as blood backs up into the affected tissue behind the obstruction
In which direction does hydrostatic pressure move fluid?
Moves fluid out of vasculature

Colonic Torsion
Increased blood hydrostatic pressure can be the result of
Generalized - Right sided CHF
Localized - Tightly bandaged limb resulting in venous occlusion
Role of vascular endothelium in hemostasis
- Anti-thrombotic and pro-fibrinolytic in normal state
- Pro-thrombotic and anti-fibrinolytic during injury
Hemorrhage by Rhexis
Due to a substantial rent or tear in the vascular wall (or heart)
