Hemodynamic Disorders Flashcards
Define Normal Fluid Exchange
Equilibrium between the interstitial, intravascular, and intracellular compartments
What is Capillary Fluid Exchange
Continuous exchange of Oxygen, metabolites, and salts for metabolic byproducts with the movement of fluid
When Hydrostatic pressure at the arteriolar end of the capillary bed exceeds the plasma colloid osmotic pressure what happens?
Movement of water, salts, and organic molecules from the intravascular space to the interstitial space
What happens when the colloid osmotic pressure at the venous end of the capillary bed exceeds the hydrostatic pressure?
Return of fluid into the vascular lumen
What determines extracellular fluid volume?
Total Body Sodium
What is Edema
Fluid accumulation in interstitial tissues or cavaties
Pericardial/Pleural/Peritoneal Effusion
Fluid accumulation in serosal cavaties
Transudative Effusion (Low Protein) is what disease?
Heart Failure
Exudative Effusion (High Protein) is what disease
Tumor, Inflammation
What are the 4 Pathogenesis of Edema
- Increased Hydrostatic Pressure
- Decreased Plasma Oncotic Pressure
- Increased Capillary Permeability
- Lymphatic Obstruction
Give 3 reasons for increased hydrostatic pressure
Inflammation, Increased venous pressure, Increased blood volume
Give 3 reasons for decreased plasma onctotic pressure
Nephrotic Syndrome, Cirrhosis, Malnutrition
Give 4 reasons for increased capillary permeability
Acute inflammation, allergic reactions, shock, burns
Give 4 reason for lymphatic obstruction
malignancy, fibrosis post radiation or inflamation, post surgery
What are some examples of localized edema
Inflammation, venous obstruction, lymphatic obstruction, allergic reaction, burns
What are some examples of generalized edema
Cardiac failure, nephrotic syndrome, malnutrition
What are a few clinicopathologic features of edema
L. Heart Failure leading to pulmonary edema
R. Heart Failure leading to lower limb edema
Cerebral edema secondary to brain trauma, meningitis, infarcts, tumors
Define Thrombosis
Formation of intravascular solid mass within the heart or intravascular system.
What does thrombosis adhere to
The luminal surfaces of vessels.
What is thrombosis normally opposed by
Fibrinolytic system
What are 3 predisposing factors for a formation of a thrombus
- Endothelial damage - trauma, inflammation
- Change in blood flow - narrowed arteries, aneurysms
- Change in blood coagulability - malignancy, oral contraceptics
Outcomes of a thrombus
- Fibronlysis with dissolution
- Propagation of the thrombus - enlargement
- Occlusion of a vessel lumen
- Organization with recanalization (reestablish continuity)
- Thromboembolism
Clinical Effects of a thrombus
Will depend on the size and site of the involved vessels and can lead to ischemia and infarction
Define Embolism
Embolism is the transportation of a detached intravascular particle or mass in the bloodstream as far as its size will allow then it will get lodged and obstruct
What is a Thromboembolism
When a thrombus detaches and travels as an embolus
How does an arterial emboli form
It originates in the LA or the LV and enters into systemic circulation
How does a venous emboli form
It originates in the deep leg/pelvic veins from deep vein thrombosis and travel to the pulmonary arterial system
What are clinical scenarios of a venous emboli
Patient may be asymptomatic
Pulmonary infarction = cough, pain, shortness of breath
Massive pulmonary embolism = acute R. heart failure - death
Multiple pulmonary emboli = hypertension and chronic r. heart failure
Define Air Embolism
Accidental introduction of more than 100cc air into venous system - sudden death
