Study Notes
Hemorrhagic Coagulation Disorders
- Hemorrhage is defined as severe bleeding that requires physical intervention.
- Most bleeding disorders are hereditary.
Bleeding Assessment
- A complete patient and family history is essential to assess the cause of bleeding.
- A thorough examination is necessary to identify the source of bleeding.
- Laboratory tests are used to confirm the diagnosis of bleeding disorders.
Types of Hemorrhage
- Localized hemorrhage: bleeding from a single location due to trauma, infection, tumor, or isolated blood vessel defect.
- Excessive bleeding of a surgical site due to inadequate cauterization or ineffective sutured surgical site.
Generalized Hemorrhage
-
Bleeding from multiple sites, requiring intervention and transfusion.
-
Disorder of primary or secondary hemostasis, which may adhere to soft tissue or a mucocutaneous pattern.
-
Generalized bleeding can be classified into two types:
Mucocutaneous (Systemic) Hemorrhage
- Defects usually seen in primary hemostasis.
- Symptoms: petechiae (pinpoint hemorrhages into the skin).
Soft Tissue (Anatomic) Hemorrhage
- Bleeding into soft tissue, often due to defects in secondary hemostasis.
