Quiz 5 PPT's #2 Flashcards
Phlegmasia Alba Dolens (PAD):
in reference to very extreme cases of DVT
causes limb ischemia/limb loss (blanching of extremities, edema and discomfort)
diminished arterial pulse due to vasospasm
Phlegmasia AD is also known as
milk leg
Signs of phlegmasia AD:
swollen, white leg because of early compromise of arterial flow secondary to extensive DVT
Phlegmasia Cerulean Dolens:
more advanced than PAD precursor for venous gangrene significant swelling, pain, and cyanosis surgical emergency irreversible ischemia, necrosis and gangrene
What affects only the deep venous channels (not collaterals)?
PAD
What affects the deep, superficial and collateral veins?
PCD - and extends into capillaries 40-60% of the time
Later stages of treatment for PCD?
incision into the vein, pass catheter into the clot, and balloon and clot is retreated with the balloon. Risk of PE but they take heparin first
Early stages for PCD?
thrombolysis (i think that’s what she said)
Trousseau’s Sign:
concerns hypercoagulability associated with cancer
spontaneous recurring venous thrombosis in ppl who have no known risk factors
What’s the difference of having a DVT with malignancy?
more extensive
more aggressive
very swollen and painful leg
Malignancies associated with venous thrombosis typcally arise in:
breast GI tract GU tract (genitourinary) lung brain
Patients with DVT related to Trosseau’s syndrome usually clinically manifest within
1-2 years
Subclavian Vein Obstruction:
detection can be difficult
diagnosis relies on secondary signs of obstruction (color)
pressure fluctuations are transmitted into veins, producing a pulsatile vein..so if it’s a flat signal u know it ain’t good (indicates a proximal obstruction)
In many cases of SCV thrombosis, _____ ________ can be involved
IJV thrombosis
Lemierre’s syndrome:
or jugular vein thrombosis in a patient with neck infection of enlarged lymph nodes
bacterial that is usually from throat infections and it spreads into major blood vessels and poisons the bloodstream (sepsis)
Behcet’s Disease:
inflammation of blood vessels (veins or arteries)
causes redness, pain and swelling in extremitites
can cause blood clot to form because of inflammation
can
**What’s affected
Virchow’s classic description:
hyper coagulability
venous stasis
endothelial damager
