Q
  1. Venous thrombi are usually due to?
    What is their color and why?
    Mostly involve where on the body?
A

a. Usually due to stasis
b. They contain more erythrocytes and therefore are red
c. Mostly lower extremity veins but may involve other sites

18
Q
  1. Risk factors for venous thrombosis include?
A
CHF 
Trauma 
Surgery 
Pregnancy 
Cancer 
Trosseau syndrome
19
Q
  1. What happens in trousseau syndrome/migratory thrombophlebitis?
A

A serine protease released by malignant tumor cells activates factor 10
Tumor cells release plasma membrane vesicles exhibiting procoagulant activity. Tissue thromboplastin is released from necrotic tumor

20
Q
  1. What is an embolus?
A

A detached intravascular solid liquid or gaseous mass that is carried by the blood to a site distant from its point of origin

21
Q
  1. Where do all emboli originate from? How long do the emboli travel? Unless otherwise specified an embolus is assumed to be a?
A

a. Dislodged thrombus
b. Until they are stuck in a vessel too small
c. Thromboembolus

22
Q
  1. Most pulmonary thromboembolism arises from?
A

Deep leg vein thrombi above knee

23
Q
  1. A pulmonary embolus may occlude in what two spaces? Where can it be lodged?
A

occlude main pulmonary artery
lodge across bifurcation
occlude smaller branching arterioles

24
Q
  1. Two sources of arterial emboli are?
A

Mural thrombi in heart or aorta

Paradoxical emboli

25
Q

26
Q
  1. What happens if there is a rapid decrease in pressure (decompression)? What two disorders are in this category? What is the treatment?
A

a. Air bubbles form in the circulation
b. The bends: Formation of gas bubbles in skeletal muscles and supporting tissues in and around joints
The chokes: Gas emboli in lungs cause edema, hemorrhage atelectasis, and emphysema causing respiratory distress
c. Treatment: Slow decompression allows gradual resorption and exhalation of the gases

27
Q
  1. Caisson disease occurs in people who? What happens with persistence of gas?
A

Persons who worked in caissons had atmospheric pressure for long periods
Persistence of gas emboli in skeletal system results in multiple foci if ischemic necrosis
