Hemodynamic Flashcards
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure and low colloid pressure
Fluid out of vessels
Hydrostatic push out H2O and Na
Osmotic pull in H2O and Na
Cause of low osmotic pressure
Low synthesis (liver, malnutrition)
Loss (renal)
Effect of CHF on sodium/water retention
CHF -> hypoperfusion of kidneys -> active renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis -> retention of Na et H2O = hausse blood volume -> edema and effusion
Hyperemia vs congestion
Hyperemia = active process, arterial dilation, oxygenated blood
Congestion = passive process from reduced venous outflow (cardiac, obstruction) = cyanosis = deozygenated hemoglobin
Sequence of event of hemostasis
- Arterial vasoC = reduce blood flow
- Primary hemostasis (platelet plug)
- Secondary hemostasis (depot of fibrin)
- Clot stabilization and resorption
Steps of primary hemostasis
- Platelet adhesion via GpIb-R to vWF exposed on ECM
- Shape change
- Granule release (ADP, TxA2) -> induce platelet aggregation via GpIIb-IIIa-R binding fibrinogen = platelet plug
Steps of secondary hemostasis
- Exposition of tissue factor
- Phospholipid-coag factor complexes
- Thrombin activation
- Fibrin polymerization (secondary plug)
Antithrombic events
Release of t-PA (fibrinolysis) -> plasmin break down fibrin -> D-dimers (marker for thrombolytic states(
Thrombomodulin = binds thrombin and converts to anticoag
Anti-thrombin III (activity enhanced by heparin-like molecules expressed on endothelial cells
Activation mechanism of platelets secretion of granules
Triggered by thrombin (PAR-1) and ADP (P2Y1 et 12)
What evaluates prothrombin PT time
Function of extrinsic pathway
7-10-5-2-fibrinogen
2 = prothrombin
What evaluates thromboplastin time PTT
Function of intrinsic pathway
12-11-8-9-fibrinogen
(12, 11.98)
Roles of thrombin
Conversion of fibrinogen into cross-linked fibrin (second plug)
Platelet activation = active PAR-1= induce platelet aggregation and TxA2 production
Active endothelial cells = express adhesion molecules and cytokines (PDGF)
Directly activates leucocytes
Molecules in endothelium maintaining an anti-coag state
- Heparin-like molecules + anti-thrombin III = inactive thrombin, factor 9 and 10
- Tissue-factor pathway inhibitor = inactive TF-VIIa complex
- Thrombomodulin = binds thrombin -> prot C active and with protS inative factors 5 et 8
- Release of PGI2, NO, ADP = inhibe platelet aggregation
- Release tPA = activates fibrinolysis
Virchow triad
Endothelial injury
Abnormal blood flow
Hypercoagulability
Flow of arterial and venous thrombi
Arterial = retrograde
Venous = in direction of blood flow to the heart
Lamination = lines of Zahn = flowing blood = ante vs post mortem
Where do pulmonary embolism originate?
Deep veins (DVT)
