lecture 3 Flashcards
haemodynamic
movement of the blood
what does fluid haemeostasis require
vessel integrity
osmolarity
maintenance of intravascular pressure
blood vessel that is semi permeable
capillary
what vessels collect the extra fluid in interstitial space
lyphatic
what stops the capillaries collapsing
pressure
what is fluid balance maintained by
hydrostatic and osmotic pressure
what is an increase in hydrostatic pressure usually due to
heart failure
what is decreased osmotic pressure due to
reduced plasma proteins
why might plasma proteins be low
liver failure
malnutrition
most likely causes of oedema
heart failure
malnutrition hepatic synthesis
primary renal failure
what is hemorrhage
extravation of blood
how much blood do you lose to get hypovolaemic shock
20%
clot dissolution
fibrinolysis
usually causes of petechiae
thrombocytopenia
clotting factor deficiency
increased pressure in the capillaries
how big is petechiae
1-2mm
what is purpura due to usually
trauma
vasculitis
how big is purpura
3-5mm
examples of subcutaneous haematoma
Bruises and ecchymoses
