41
Q

How do Protein C and S work?

A

42
Q

Fat-rupture of vascular sinusoids/venules
Air
Amniotic fluid
Tumor
53
Q

Sources of thromboemboli?

A

Vessels (deep vein thrombosis occurring in leg veins)

Heart: atrial or ventricular walls or valve leaflets

Atherosclerotic plaque-abdominal aorta, carotid artery

Paradoxical embolism: travels through heart defect into systemic circulation (patent foramen ovale)

54
Q

What is a pulmonary embolism?

A

Most common type of embolism
Usual source is DVT
Most are asymptomatic but serious consequences with saddle emboli (at bifurcation of pulmonary arteries) and multiple emboli.

55
Q

What is infarction and what causes it?

A

Area of ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of either the arterial supply or the venous drainage of a particular tissue.

56
Q

What are the two types of infarcts and what causes them?

A

Red infarct: hemorrhagic-occurs in loose tissues, dual circulation tissues, when flow is re-established, venous occlusions

White infarct: anemic (no blood)- occurs in solid organs with end-arterial circulation. Like spleen or kidneys

57
Q

DIC

A

Characterized by initial clotting (microangiopathy), resulting in organ ischemia, followed by bleeding tendencies.

Consumptive coagulopathy:
Widespread clotting leads to consumption of factors and platelets
Clotting factors consumed = bleeding
Platelets consumed = bleeding

Associated with severe illnesses

58
Q

What is the difference between a hematoma and a hemorrhagic infarct?

A

In a hemorrhagic infarct, blood is intermixed with necrotic tissue; in hematoma blood is collected and form a solid mass

59
Q

What is shock

A

Systemic hypoperfusion caused by

  1. reduced cardiac output or
  2. decrease in effective circulating blood volume
60
Q

What are the 3 major types of shock

A
  1. Cardiogenic
  2. Hypovolemic
  3. Septic
61
Q

What are other types of shock

A

Neurogenic shock and Anaphylactic shock

62
Q

What are the stages of shock

A
  1. Nonprogressive phase
  2. Progressive phase
  3. Irreversible phase
63
Q

What distinguishes hypovolemic and cardiogenic shock vs. septic shock and what is similar in their clinical presentation?

A

Cool, clammy, and cyanotic skin vs. warm and flushed (initially)

They are all hyptension, tachycardic, tachypnea

64
Q

What causes septic shock most often?
