Hemodynamic disorders Flashcards
1
Q
fluid homeostasis requires:
A
- vascular wall integrity
- control of intravascular volume, pressure, protein
- normal clotting mechanisms
2
Q
Edema
A
increased fluid in tissue interstitial spaces
3
Q
Pleural effusion/hydrothorax
A
-fluid accumulation in pleural space
4
Q
ascites
A
- fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity
- aka hydroperitoneum
5
Q
pericardial effusion
A
- hydropericardium
- edema fluid accumulation in pericardial sac
6
Q
anasarca
A
serve and generalized edema w/ diffuse involvement of all interstitial tissues and grossly evident subQ swelling
7
Q
Categories of edema
A
- increased hydrostatic pressure/impaired venous return
- decreased plasma oncotic pressure (hypoproteinemia)
- lymphatic obstruction
- sodium retention
- inflammation
8
Q
hyperemia
A
- active process
- arterioles dilate and let blood into tissue
- erythema
9
Q
congestion
A
- passive process
- decreased outflow of blood
- cyanotic (blue-ish red) color
10
Q
Hemorrhage
A
- extravasation of blood due to vessel rupture
- vascular injury
- vascular disease +/- minor trauma
- defects in clotting mechanism + minor trauma
11
Q
hematoma
A
-blood accumulation in a space or tissue (coagulates)
12
Q
petechiae
A
- small (1-2mm) punctate hemorrhages
- seen on skin or mucosal/serosal surfaces
- low platelets (thrombocytopenia)
13
Q
Purpura
A
- slightly larger (>3mm) hemorrhages
- low platelets
- small vessel vasculitis
14
Q
hemostasis
A
- rapid formation of localized plug at site of vascular disruption
- requires: vascular wall, platelets, and coagulation proteins
15
Q
events leading to hemostasis
A
- arteriolar vasoconstriction
- platelet adherence, activation, and aggregation (von wilebrand factor) (primary hemostasis)
- generation of thrombin and fibrin, w/ polymerization of fibrin and platelet aggregates (secondary hemostasis)
