Hemodynamic Disorders Flashcards
Body cavities
Effusion
Effusions in pleural activity
Hydrothorax
Cause of increased hydrostatic pressure
impaired venous return
Ascites
Effusions in peritoneal cavity
1+
2mm deep
barely detectable
immediate rebound
Hydropericardium
Effusions in pericardial cavity
Finger pressure over markedly edematous
Pitting
Active process due to arteriolar dilation
Hyperemia
Edema
accumulation of fluid in tissues; within the tissues
LEGS stands for
Lasix Edema Grading Scale
4+
8mm ver deep pit
>20s to rebound
Nutmeg liver
accentuated
Passive process due to reduces the venous outflow
congestion
Arranged or occurring in series
Cascade
General sequences of hemostasis
Arteriolar vasoconstrtictions
Primary hemostasis
Secondary hemostasis
Clot stabilization and resorption
Formation of platelet plug
Primary hemostasis
Endothelial cells
central regulator of hemostasis
Transient, mediated by reflex neurogenic mechanism
Arteriolar vasoconstriction
thrombin cleaves circulating fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin
Secondary hemostasis
rupture of large blood vessels
massive bleeds
Defects of primary hemostasis
petechiae
small bleeds in skin or mocous
capillaries are prone to rupture
Anywhere in the circulatory system
Thrombi
occur site of stasis
venous
Factors that limit coagulation
Dilution
negatively charged phospholipids
factors expressed by endothelium adjacent site of injury
