Study Notes
Hemodynamic Disorders
- Various conditions affect blood flow and circulation
- Examples include: edema, thrombosis, embolism, infarction, hyperemia, congestion, hemorrhage, and shock
Edema
-
Definition: Excess fluid accumulation in extracellular or intracellular locations
-
Types:
- Localized: Affects one organ or body part (e.g., lung edema, ascites)
- Generalized: Affects the entire body (e.g., anasarca)
- Special types: Pulmonary and cerebral edema
-
Causes of edema include:
- Increased hydrostatic pressure: Impaired venous return, congestive heart failure, ascites, venous obstruction, external pressure, lower extremity inactivity
- Decreased plasma osmotic pressure: Protein-losing nephropathies, liver cirrhosis, malnutrition, malabsorption
- Lymphatic obstruction: Inflammatory, neoplastic, postsurgical (e.g., breast cancer)
-
Morphology of edema presents as:
- Pleural effusion (hydrothorax)
- Pericardial effusion (hydropericardium)
- Peritoneal ascites
- Cerebral edema
- Anasarca
Thrombosis
-
Definition: Formation of a solid mass of blood elements within a blood vessel or cardiac chamber
-
Example: Coronary thrombus
-
Causes (Virchow's Triad):
- Endothelial injury
- Stasis or turbulence of blood flow
- Blood hypercoagulability
-
Thrombosis is a pathological process, distinct from hemostasis (normal blood clotting)
-
Components of a thrombus: Fibrin, platelets, and red blood cells
-
Locations include: Arteries, veins, heart chambers, and heart valves
Embolism
- Definition: An embolus is an insoluble solid, liquid, or gaseous mass circulating in the blood to a site distant from its point of origin
- Types of emboli:
- Gas
- Liquid (e.g., amniotic fluid, fat)
- Solid (e.g., thrombus, atheroma, bone marrow, foreign bodies)
Infarction
- Definition: Formation of an infarct—a localized area of ischemic necrosis—caused by occlusion of the (mainly arterial) vascular supply.
- Leading causes: arterial thrombotic or embolic events
- Other less common causes: Vasospasm, expansion of atheroma, hemorrhage, external compression, traumatic vascular rupture, vessel twisting, venous thrombosis
Hyperemia and Congestion
- Hyperemia: Active process of increased blood in an area, typically due to arteriolar dilation (e.g., inflammation). It occurs in areas of inflammation and exercise
- Congestion: Passive process of increased blood in an area, resulting from impaired outflow (e.g., cardiac failure, venous obstruction).
Hemorrhage
-
Definition: Extravasation of blood due to rupture of blood vessels
-
Causes: Vascular diseases with rupture, low platelets, coagulopathy, ulcers, tumors, coagulation factors, infarcts, trauma
-
Types:
- Petechiae
- Purpura
- Ecchymoses (bruises)
- Hematoma
- Hemoptysis
- Hematemesis
- Melena
- Hematochezia
- Hematuria
- Pericardium
- Hemothorax
- Hemoperitoneum
-
Clinical effects: <20% blood loss has little effect, >20% causes hemorrhagic shock; brainstem bleed is fatal.
Shock
-
Definition: Systemic hypoperfusion (reduced blood flow) due to a reduction in cardiac output
-
Causes of cardiac output collapse: diarrhea, vomiting, burns, hemorrhage
-
Types of shock: Cardiogenic (heart failure), neurogenic (loss of vascular tone), hypovolemic (low blood volume), septic (infection), and anaphylactic (allergic reaction).
-
Stages of shock: Non-progressive, progressive, irreversible
Other
- Pulmonary Edema
- Lymphatic Obstruction
- Clinical effects of different types of shock
- Pathology of the different types of shock
- Pictures of normal and affected tissues
