HEMODYNAMIC DISEASE I TERMS Flashcards
increased fluid in the interstitial tissues (60% of lean body weight is water- 2/3 intracellular, 1/3 extracellular)
or
abnormal accumulation of fluid within interstitial spaces or body cavities (inflammatory or non-inflammatory)
edema
reduced plasma oncotic pressure
hypoproteinemia
severe generalized edema
anasarca
collection of fluid in abdominal cavity seen with liver cirrhosis
ascites
collection of fluid in pleural cavity
pleural effusion (hydrothorax)
collection of fluid in the pericardial sac
pericardial effusion (hydropericardium)
edema fluid occurring with volume or fluid overload, or with reduced plasma protein (SG<1.012)
transudate
edema fluid seen in inflammation,high in protein due to increased vascular permeability SG>1.020
exudate
can be diffuse or more conspicuous in regions with high hydrostatic pressures
subcutaneous
located subcutaneous and seen on lower extremities, fluid build up
pitting edema
located subcutaneous with fluid build up seen in lower parts of body only when patient is standing (gravity assisted)
dependent edema
edema seen with LV failure, renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary infection
pulmonary edema
edema that is localized or generalized depending on the nature and extent of the pathologic process or injury
brain edema
active process in which arteriolar dilation leads to increased blood flow like blushing, exercise
hyperemia
the engorgement of vessels with oxygenated blood
erythematous
