Med Year Exam Flashcards
presence of microorganisms in a wound
Contamination
When organisms invade the tissue and produce ill effects (inflammation)
Infection
Non-suppurative invasive infection of the skin + subcutaneous tissues
Cellulitis
Acute spreading inflammation of the outer dermis + superficial lymphatics.
Erysipelas
is a localized suppurative inflammation.
Acute abscess
Rapidly progressive poly-microbial cellulitis, of the sublingual + submandibular space Involving floor of mouth + suprahyoid area (both sides of the neck)
Ludwig’s angina
Inadequate tissue perfusion with decreased oxygen delivery + impaired cellular metabolism
Shock
End diastolic ventricular volume (represented by: end diastolic pressure)
Preload
Vascular resistance (represented by: mean arterial blood pressure MAP)
Afterload
Diminished blood volume
Hypovolemic shock:
Due to pump failure. Alteration of the heart failure + inability maintain adequate cardiac output OR restriction of cardiac work.
Cardiogenic shock:
Mal-distribution of blood flow leads to inadequate tissue perfusion in spite of NORMAL BLOOD VOLUME + normal cardiac function.
Distributive shock:
Allergic reaction IgE antibodies against certain antigens (drugs, insect bite, foods)
Anaphylactic shock:
Persisting hypotension despite adequate volume resuscitation, occurring in a patient with SEPSIS.
Septic shock:
presence of bacteria in the blood stream
Bacteremia
presence of toxins in blood stream
Toxemia
presence of both bacteria + toxins
Septicemia
Aqueous solution of low molecular weight ions (salt) with or without glucose (dextrose)
Crystalloids
Solution containing high molecular weight substances such as proteins or large glucose polymers
Colloids
Mere presence of microorganisms in a wound.
Contamination
When organisms invade the tissues and produce ill effects (inflammation)
