Edema/Congestion/Hemostasis Flashcards
what is Edema
increase fluid within interstitial tissue
generally, what causes an edema
Increased Hydrostatic pressure
Decreased venous return
in the body what causes an edema
Reduced plasma osmotic pressure
Lymphatic obstructure
Sodium and water retention
Inflammation
what is a generalized edema
Anasarca
Hydrops
how does Inflammatio lead to an edema
Vasodilation and increased permiability due to more blood being present
what causes vasodilation
NO
Protoglycans
Histamine
what would causes an increase in hydrostatic pressure to cause an edema
Impaired venous return for mechanical obstruction or congestive heart pressure
what would cause reduced plasma osmotic pressure to lead to an edema
reduced protein (albumin) synth Increased loss of protein (nephrotic syndrome, gastroenteropathy)
what would cause lymphatic obstrucutre to lead to a edema
Fibrosis
Parasites
cancer
Compression
what would cause a Na and Water retension to lead to an edema
Acute impairment of renal function
decreased renal perfusion with release of renin
what would lead to inflammation to cause an edema
Increased vascular permeability
necrosis
angiogensis
Pulmonary edema does what to gas exchage
Impairs gas exchange
what causes pulpmonary edema
Acute congestive heart failure
what does a cerebral edema leads to
Causes compression and herniation of critical areas
decreases blood flow
what is plasma osmotic pressure
The pulling of water into the blood vessels due to solutes being present
where is balance normally found to stop edema
Between hydrostatic and osmotic presssure
- prefers to leave capillary slowly and taken up by lymph
what is effusion
Collection of fluid in body cavity or other space
where might effusion occure
Pleural
Pericardial
Peritoneal (ascites)
Joint space (synovial)
a buldge in the abdominal cavity due to effusion
Ascites
what does effusion in the joint space lead to
Limited movement
what is transudate effusion
Transudate is fluid pushed through the capillary due to high pressure within the capillary
what is exudate effusion
Exudate is fluid that leaks around the cells of the capillaries caused by inflammation.
what is Hyperemia
increased tissue blood volume secondary to neurogenic mechanisms or inflammation
is hyperemia active or passive
active
what is congestion
Increased tissue blood volume secondary to impaired venous return
is Congestion active or passive
Passive
is Hyperemia and congestion both associated with increase in blood flow
No, only hyperemia is an increase blood flow
Congestion is due to increased volume from a blockage(less outflow)
color of congestion and hyperemia
Hyperemia: red
Congestion: blue (low O2)
what often accompanies congestion
Edema
examples of congestion
Acute pulmonary congestion
Chronic pulmonary congestion with hemosiderin
Chronic hepatic congestion
Acute hepatic congestion
what causes chronic pulmonary congesion with meosiderin
