hemodynamic disorders Flashcards
hyperemia
1) arteriolar dilation and increase blood inflow
conjestion
1) impaired blood flow from a tissue
- cyanotic1
edema
1) movement of fluid from vessels to interstitial space
- protein poor or rich
extravascular fluid can also
1) collect in body cavities
- pleural cavity (hydrothorax)
- pericardial cavity (hydropericardium)
- peritoneal cavity (hydroperitoneum)
anasarca
severe, generalized edema
vascular hydrostatic pressure
1) balanced by colloid osmotic pressure (from proteins)
2) imbalance will cause edema
edema can cause
1) impaired venous return
2) arteriolar dilation
3) lymphatic obstruction
4) sodium retention
5) inflammation
decrease in plasma albumin
1) decrease in plasma osmotic pressure
2) edema results
3) important clinical marker in malnutrition
deep venous thrombosis
- distal portion of lower extremity (legs)
- can cause edema!!
- can lead to heart failure
nephrotic syndrome
1) damaged glomerular capullaries become leaky
2) loss of albumin in urine
3) generalized edema
types of edema
1) subcutaneous
2) dependent
3) pitting
- finger pressure over subcutaneous area
pulmonary edema
1) lungs are three to four times its own weight2) frothy and blood tinged fluid
- edema fluid, RBC, and air
brain edema
1) needs immediate surgical intervention
- craniotomy
- let brain expand for a few months
2 ) caused by trauma
hemorrhage
1) extravasation of blood from vessels
2) petechiae
1-2 mm
3) purpura
- 0.3-5mm
4) ecchymosis
- 1-2 cm
significance of blood loss
1) clinical signficance depends on blood volume lost
