Hemodynamic Disorders Flashcards
edema
clinical presentation of excess fluid accumulation in any tissue or body cavity
localized edema
increase in vascular permeability
generalized/systemic edema
increased hydrostatic pressure and decreased oncotic pressure
transudate
noninflammatory edema, no change in vascular permability
exudate
inflammatory edema (increased protein)
anascarca
severe edema throughout the entire body
hyperemia
increased blood volume as the result of an active process in which arteriolar vasodilation leads to increased bloodflow (inflammation)
congestion
increased blood volume occurs as a passivei process due to impaired venous outflow of a tissue
acute pulmonary edema caused by
sudden LV failure (myocardial infarction)
chronic pulmonary edema caused by
congestive heart failure
congestive liver (nutmeg liver) caused by
right-sided heart failure
petechiae
minute 1-2mm hemorrhages into skin, mucous membranes, or serosal surfaces
purpura
> 3mm hemorrhages
ecchymosis
> 1-2mm subacute hematomas
hemostasis
arrest of bloodflow
