    Study Notes

    Tissue Coloration

    • Cyanosis: blue-red tissue color due to worsening congestion leading to accumulation of deoxygenated hemoglobin in affected tissues.

    Hematoma

    • Defined as a localized collection of extravasated blood trapped in an organ, space, or tissue.
    • Results from a break in the wall of a blood vessel.
    • Essentially a confined hemorrhage within tissue or cavity.

    Hemoptysis

    • Characterized by blood in sputum combined with cough or expectoration of blood from the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
    • Causes include:
      • TB
      • Bronchitis
      • Lung neoplasm (particularly in smokers)

    Blood in Sputum

    • If white blood cells are present in addition to red blood cells, it may indicate a urinary tract infection.

    Blood Loss Concerns

    • Acute loss of large amounts of blood: shock is the primary concern.
    • Chronic loss of smaller amounts of blood: iron deficiency is the primary concern.
