Q

The trio in hemostasis?

A

Vasculature and hydrodynamics of blood flow:

  • endothelium
  • smooth muscle
  • basement membrane

Platelets:

  • receptors for binding, aggregation, activation
  • phospholipid surface

Coagulation cascade:
-proteins with enzymatic activity leading to fibrin mesh work

Q

Vessel spasm

A

First response in tissue injury to blood vessel

Reduces the flow of blood from the vessel rupture

Booth local nervous reflexes and humoral factors released from plates (thromboxane) contribute to vasoconstriction

Q

The endothelium normally secretes prostaglandins and nitric oxide to promote vasodilation and keep platelets away. Disruption exposes collagen and releases..

22
Q

Von willebrand factor is released from the endothelium and binds to platelet receptors causing adhesion of the platelets to exposed collagen fibers. As the platelets adhere to the collagen fibers on the damaged vessel wall, they become activated and release ADP and TXA2. The ADP and TXA2 attract additional platelets, leading to platelet aggregation.

25
Q

Two coagulation pathways

A

1) intrinsic - begins in the circulation and is initiated by activation of circulating factor XII
2) extrinsic - activated by cellular lipoprotein tissue factor that becomes exposed when tissues are injured.

Both pathways lead to the activation of factor X, conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, and conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin threads that hold the clot together

27
Q

Activated platelet surface provides phospholipids needed to trigger the coagulation cascade

A

…

28
Q

Primary hemostasis

A

Platelets release thromboxane - activates and recruits more platelets and they aggregate

29
Q

Secondary hemostasis

A

Fibrin deposited now

30
Q

Thrombus and antithrombotic events (after primary and secondary hemostasis)

A

Release of TPA (fibrolysis) and thrombomodulin (blocks coagulation cascade)

31
Q

Flipping of phosphatidylserine from inner to outer membrane surface… exposure on platelets results from damage or from platelet damage itself

A

…

32
Q

Plasmin, antithrombin, and proteins C and S… involved in localization of hemostasis…?

A

…

33
Q

Hemostasis is problematic when it leads to the complete obstruction of key blood vessels..also known as thrombotic occlusion

A

…

34
Q

Thrombus

A

Clot adherent to vascular endothelium

35
Q

Two worst places for thrombus - coronary (HA) or cerebrovascular places (Strokes)

A

…

36
Q

A group of three underlying conditions increases the risk of thrombosis. That group is… and is called…

A

Virchow’s triad

Relates to:

1) endothelium (injury)
2) blood flow (stasis or turbulence)
3) coagulation pathway (hypercoagulability state)

Ex. Atrial fibrillation - turbulent
Paralysis - embed blood flow
Protein C or S deficiencies lead to clot formation

37
Q

Blood flow abonormalities

A

Atrial fibrillation
Bed rest, paralysis
Venous obstruction

38
Q

Contact surface abnormalities

A

Atherosclerosis
Vascular injury/trauma
Abnormal heart valve
Indewelling vascular catheter

39
Q

Clotting component abnormalities

A 
Elevated factor VIII
Factor V Leiden
Prothrombin 20210
Protein C/S deficiency
Antithrombin deficiency
Estrogen therapy/pregnancy
Malignancy
40
Q

Thrombus formation is one mechanism of creating an obstruction that narrows or occludes blood flow. Another mechanism is through disordered vessel development, such as…

A

Congenital stenosis or atresia

41
Q

Atresia

A

Not properly formed valve

42
Q

Stenosis

A

Narrowing of valves/vessels

43
Q

Another mechanism of obstruction to blood flow is compression from an enlarging newborn gene structure called….

A

Mass effect

Ex. Gravid uterus
Neoplasm
Pregnancy

44
Q

Another mechanism for obstruction of blood flow is torsion…

A

Testicular torsion ex.

Twisting of the spermatic cord cuts off venous drainage of the testis…

Bowel volvulus has a similar torsion mechanisms

45
Q

Another mechanism of obstruction to blood flow is pressure from edema… called….

A

Compartment syndrome

Blood flow to distal limb is compromised due to compression from surrounding swollen tissue

46
Q

Another mechanism of obstruction to blood flow is atherosclerosis….

A

The resultant atheromas (also called atheromatous plaques) cause protrusions into vessel lumens, narrowing them

47
Q

Ischemia

A

Hypoxia (low o2) due to reduced blood flow

48
Q

Infarct

A

Area of ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of arterial supply (or venous damage)

49
Q

Most infarcts are from…

A

Thrombotic or emboli arterial occlusion

50
Q

Venous infarcts are far less common than arterial infarcts…

Arteries have tissue turn white
Veins have tissues turn red (Cant drain blood)

A

…

51
Q

Embolus

A

Detached mass (solid, liquid, or gas) carried by blood to a site distant from its point of origin…

Most common type are thromboemoli…

Among other types are fat, marrow, air, tumor, amniotic fluid

52
Q

Only few places in the body where you have a collateral supply so generally emboli can be a problem anywhere in the body

A

…

53
Q

Shock

A

Global underperfusion of tissues resulting in cellular hypoxia (commonly associated with systemic hypotension)

54
Q

3 main types of shock

2 minor

A

Cardiogenic, hypovolemic, septic

Neurogenic, anaphylactic

55
Q

Both septic and anaphylactic shock involve the immune system…

A

…

56
Q

Cardiogenic shock

A

Pump failure (heart)

57
Q

Hypovolemic shock

A

Massive fluid loss, fluid loss from sever burns

58
Q

Septic shock

A

Systemic immune rxn to infection, get vasodilation and peripheral blood pooling

59
Q

Cardiogenic shock can occur days after HA

A

…

60
Q

Hyperemia

A

Locally increased blood flow from the active process of arteriolar dilation (ex. Muscle exercising)

61
Q

Congestion

A

Blood stasis from reduced outflow from tissue = passive process (ex. Venous obstruction)

62
Q

Edema

A

Abnormal increase of interstitial fluid within tissues

63
Q

Causes of edema

A
  • reduced plasma oncotic pressure (reduced albumin in liver failure)
  • lymphatic obstruction (e.g. Filarial worms = elephantiasis)
  • increased hydrostatic pressure (e.g. Increased venous pressure of congestive heart failure)
64
Q

There are specialized names for hemorrhages of skin (“rash”) and mucous membranes (“enanthem”)

Exs. Petechiae, purpura, ecchymosis (all for skin, and increase in size)

A

…

65
Q

Petechiae come from viral infection. Purpura comes from bacterial infection… generally
