[LEC] Hemodynamic Disorders Flashcards
What refers to an increase in blood volume within a tissues?
hyperemia and congestion
Difference between hyperemia and congestion.
Hyperemia - active process
Congestion - passive process
True or False.
Hyperemic tissues are redder than normal because of engorgement with oxygenated blood.
True
What is the cause of increased blood flow during hyperemia?
Arteriolar dilation
What is the cause of the blue-red color of congested tissues?
accumulation of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the affected areas
What is the cause of cyanosis during congestion?
obstruction
Identify the Type of Congestion.
- marked by blood-engorged alveolar capillaries and variable degrees of alveolar septal edema and intraalveolar hemorrhage
Acute pulmonary congestion
Identify the Type of Congestion.
- septa become thickened and fibrotic
- alveolar spaces contain numerous macrophage laden with hemosiderin (heart failure cells) derived from phagocytosed red cells
Chronic pulmonary congestion
- Accumulation of interstitial fluid within tissues
- Result of movement of fluid from the vasculature into the interstitial spaces
edema
Difference between transudate and exudate.
Protein Poor = transudate
Protein Rich = exudate
accumulation of extravascular fluid in the pleural cavity
hydrothorax
accumulation of extravascular fluid in the pericardial cavity
hydropericardium
accumulation of extravascular fluid in the peritoneal cavity
Hydroperitoneum (Ascites)
severe, generalized edema marked by profound swelling of subcutaneous tissues and accumulation of fluid in the body cavity
Anasarca
Enumerate Pathophysiologic Causes of Edema
a. Impaired Venous Return
b. Arteriolar Dilation
c. Reduced Plasma Osmotic Pressure
d. Lymphatic Obstruction
e. Sodium Retention
f. Inflammation
______ accounts for almost half of the total plasma protein
albumin
What causes massive edema of the lower extremity and external genitalia by inducing inguinal lymphatic and lymph node fibrosis?
filariasis
True or False.
Hypercoagulability is a pathophysiologic cause of edema.
False.
(Hypercoagulability is NOT a pathophysiologic cause of edema)
finger pressure over edematous subcutaneous tissue displaces the interstitial fluid
pitting edema
Lungs often are two to three times their normal weight, and sectioning reveals frothy, sometimes blood-tinged fluid consisting of a mixture of air, edema fluid, and extravasated red cells
pulmonary edema
Extravasation of blood from vessels
hemorrhage
blood accumulate within a tissue
hematoma
an intravascular solid, liquid, or gaseous mass that is carried by the blood to a site distant from its point of origin
embolus
vast majority of thromboembolic derived from a dislodged thrombus
thromboembolism
