Introduction to Hemostasis Flashcards
complex physiological process that keeps circulating blood in fluit state and produces clot in injury
hemostasis
discharge of blood from blood vessels to the extravascular space by any means
hemorrhage
small pinpoint purplish red hemorrhagic spots caused by inability of capillary to withstand pressure and trauma
petechiae
the size of petechiae are approximately
3 mm
3 mechanisms in petechiea formation in dengue
- predilection to endothelial destruction
- low megakaryocyte production
- platelets coated by viral products and eliminated by RES
blood in LARGE but shallow area of the skin or mucous membrane due to lack of supporting tissues
Ecchymoses
color change of ecchymosis
black
blue
greenish brown
yellow
change in color of ecchymoses is due to
hemoglobin oxidation and subsequent transport to liver by albumin
blood in SMALL areas of the skin but goes deep into the tissues due to absorption of trauma by supporting tissues
pupura
swelling or tumor in the tissues that contains clotted blood
hematoma
nose bleeding due to sensitive mucous membranes
epistaxis
blood in the sputum expectorated due to hemorrhage in the lungs, trachea, larynx or bronchi
hemoptysis
vomiting blood
hematemesis
usually in hemophilia patients where blood escapes to joint cavity
hemarthrosis
hormonal imblance causing excessive menstrual bleeding
menorrhagia
basic components of hemostasis
extravascular
vascular
intravascular
the tissues surrounding the blood vessel that swell to provide back pressure to trap escaped blood
extravascular component
the ability of the extravascular component to aid in hemostais depends on these three factors
bulk of the surrounding tissue
type of the surrounding tissue
tone of the surrounding tissue
a wound in the fleshy part of the thigh would not bleed as profusely as one in the scalp
bulk of surrounding tissue
skeletal muscle is wmore absorbent and effective in arresting hemorrhage than loose connective tissue
type of surrounding tissue
identical wounds in a 17 year old with greater tissue elasticity that a 71 years old
tone of surrounding tissue
involves the vessels through which blood flows
vascular component
the role.played by vessels depends on these
size of vessel
amount of smooth muscle tossue
integrity of endothelial cell lining
involves the coagulation and fibrinolytic factors (promoters and inhibitors)
intravascular component
the term easy bruisability refers to
individuals with extensive or repeated purpura and ecchymoses
color change of purpura
red purple (hgb deposition)
greenish yellow (biliverdin)
intact red cells in urine
hematuria
hemoglobin in the urine
hemoglobinuria
stool containing dark red or black blood
melena
conditions associated with excessive bleeding
hypocoagulable state
conditions or uncontrolled hemostasis
hypercoagulable states
basic sequence of events in primary and secondary hemostasis after vessel injury
- vasoconstriction
- platelet adhesion
- platelet aggregation
- fibrin- platelet plug formation
- fibrin stabilization
controlled by vessel smooth muscle, enhanced by chemicals secreted by platelets
vasoconstriction
