Hemodynamics Disorders, Thromboembolic Disease And Shock Flashcards
Movement of water and solutes between intravascular and interstitial spaces is maintained by
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure and vascular hydrostatic pressure
Increased intestitial fluid is caused by
Increased capillary pressure or diminished colloid osmotic pressure
Increased interstitial fluid
Edema
Fluid in the various cavities
Hydrothorax, hydropericardium, hydroperineum, ascites
Severe systemic edema
Anasarca
Systemic edema is most commonly due to
Congestive heart failure ( compromised right heart function leads to venous blood pooling)
Reduced plasma volume leads to
Diminished renal perfusion and resultant renin production
Effect of primary salth retention and water retention in osmotic and hydrostatic pressure
Increased hydrostatic; decreased osmotic
Type of edema that may be diffuse or occur where hydrostatic pressures are greatest
Subcutaneous edema (influenced by gravity called dependent edema)
Finger pressure over substantial subcutaneous edema leaves an imprint called as
Pitting edema
Edema from hypoproteinemia is most evident where?
In loose connective tissue (ex. Eyelids causing periorbital edema)
Charateristics of pulmonary edema
Frothy, blood-tinged mixture of air, edema fluid and rbc
Appearance of generalized brain edema
Swollen brain with narrowed sulci and distended gyro flattened against the skull
What is hyperemia?
Active process due to augmented blood inflow from arteriolar dilation
Tissue in hyperemia appear red. Why?
Engorgement with oxygenated blood
What is Congestion?
Passive process caused by impaired outflow from a tissue
Color of tissue in congestion
Blue-red or cyanosis
Worsening congestion leads to accumulation of
Deoxyhemoglobin
Capillary bed congestion is commonly associated with
Interstitial edema
In chronic congestion, capillary rupture may cause
Focal hemorrhage
In liver, acute congestion manifests what?
Central vein and sinusoidal distention, central hepatocyte degeneration(occassionaly)
Chronic congestion of liver appearance
Central regions of hepatic lobules are grossly red-brown and slightly depressed relative to surroundingg uncongested tan liver (nutmeg liver)
Part of liver that is most subject to necrosis when liver perfussion is compromised
Centrilobular area( at distal end of hepatic blood supply)
Release f blood into extravascular space
Hemorrhage
