Fluid Hemodynamics Flashcards
body fluid percentages
H2O, 60% of body weight
Plasma, fluid portion of blood, 5% of body weight
plasma can be expanded or reduced by
Loss by diarrhea, vomiting, bleeding, sweat or burn
Retention by non renal excretion
redistribution of body fluids
Disruption of flow and tissues vessels
Pathogenesis of edema
excess fluid in the interstitial space or cavities
Localized, an organ or tissue cavity
- Cerebral pulmonary edema
-ascites hydrothorax
Generalized - anascara
Pathogenesis of edema, inflammatory
acute inflammation
Mechanism- vessel permeability, hyperemia
Dilation of precapillary arterials, Transudate, exudate
Pathogenesis of edema, hydrostatic
congestive heart failure, hypertension
mechanism- increased arterial pressure, venous back pressure
promotes passage of fluids through vessel wall
-Venous pressure increases I Retro, great fashion,
-venous stasis, or Venous edema
exudate
typical of inflammation
Rich in protein and blood cells
Increased permeability of vessels
transudate
less protein and fewer cells
Ultrafiltrate of plasma fluid by
-increased hydrostatic pressure in vessel
-Decreased oncotic pressure of plasma from low albumin
-Lymphatic obstruction
-Sodium retention- increased tissue hydration
Oncotic
Mechanism- reduction in colloid osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure) of plasma
typically generalized- lax tissue
-protein loss in urine nephrotic syndrome
-Low protein synthesis, liver disease, cirrhosis
Hypoalbuminemia- hypoproteinemia
-Albumin is the most active osmotic plasma proteins
obstructive
Lymphedema elephantiasis
Decrease drainage of interstitial fluid from non-reabsorbed fluid at venous ends of capillaries
occluded by tumors or chronic inflammation or parasites worms- falaria
Hypervolemic
Mechanism- attention of sodium and H2O in kidneys
action of a system- renin angiotensin aldosterone
kidney disease
And low blood pressure and normal status
Releases renin
renin stimulates what?
Formation of angiotensin
angiotensin acts on what?
Acts on adrenal cortex and releases aldosterone
aldosterone promotes what?
Promotes renal sodium and water retention
clinical forms of edema
Cerebral edema
Pulmonary edema
Pitting, edema of lower extremities
Periorbital facial edema
Hydrothorax
Hydroperitoneum ascites
Anascara
