Parsa - Hemodynamic Disorders Flashcards
Edema is an accumulation of fluid (interstitial tissue space) in body cavities:
- Hydrothorax: pleueral effusion
- Hydroperitoneum: Ascites
- Hydropericardium: pericardial effusion
Excess fluid accumulates when
- hydrostatic pressure is increased
- osmotic prssure is decreased
- lymphatics are blocked
- inc. vascular permeability associated with inflammation
Localized edema is due to inc. in vascular permeablity:
- inflammation
- allergic reaction
- venous obstruction
- lymphatic obstruction
Systemic edema is cause by increased retention of total body ____ and water
sodium
refers to edema all over the body
anasarca
In transudate edema there is ____ change in vascular permeability. It contans little ____ and has a low specific gravity
no; protein
_____ fluid has increased protein and specific gravity is usually greater than 1.
exudate
Hyperemia occurs as a result of ____ vasodilation and leads to increased blood flow (inflammation). They will be redder and warmer than normal. In congestion, inc. blood volume occurs as a passive process due to impaired ____ outflow of a tissue. Tissues will appear blue
arterial; venous
What happens in left sided heart failure
can’t pump out oxygenated blood properly and backs up blood and incerases hydrostatic venous pressure in LUNG which results in pulmonary edema.
what happens in right sided failure
pooling of blood on to venous side of circulation; affects central vein and become deoxygenated. All of the areas surrounding central vein become congested.
what is a hemorrahage
results from escape of RBCs across intact vessels or from vascular rupture
A hemorrhage can be intact and can occur from a vessel or can be external. An intact hemorrage results from:
- congestion
- inc hydrostatic pressure
- bleeding disorders
A vascular rupture results from
- trauma
- atherosclerosis
- congenital aneurysms
- inflammatory conditions
- erosion by a mass
What is petechiae
minute 1 -2 mm hemorhages into skin, mucous membranes or serosal surfaces and are associated with locally inc. intravascular pressure, low platelet counts, or defective platelet function
purpura is hemorrhages that are greater than ___ mm
3
____ refers to 1-2 cm subcutaneous hematomas (bruise)
ecchymosis
