[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
