EMBOLISM An embolus is a detached intravascular solid, liquid, or gaseous mass that is carried by the blood from its point of origin to a distant site, where it often causes tissue dysfunction or infarction. The vast majority of emboli are dislodged thrombi, hence the term thromboembolism. Other rare emboli are composed of fat droplets, nitrogen bubbles, atherosclerotic debris (cholesterol emboli), tumor fragments, bone marrow, or even foreign bodies. Emboli travel through the blood until they encounter vessels too small to permit further passage, causing partial or complete vascular occlusion. Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Pulmonary emboli originate from DVT and are the most common form of thromboembolic disease. Fragmented thrombi from DVT are carried through progressively larger veins and the right side of the heart before slamming into the pulmonary arterial vasculature. Depending on the size of the embolus, it can occlude the main pulmonary artery, straddle the pulmonary artery bifurcation (saddle embolus), or pass out into the smaller, branching arteries. Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Sudden death, acute right heart failure (cor pulmonale), or cardiovascular collapse occurs when emboli obstruct 60% or more of the pulmonary circulation. Embolic obstruction of medium-sized arteries with subsequent vascular rupture can result in pulmonary hemorrhage but usually does not cause pulmonary infarction. This is because the lung is supplied by both the pulmonary arteries and the bronchial arteries, and the intact bronchial circulation is usually sufficient to perfuse the affected area. Understandably, if the bronchial arterial flow is compromised (e.g.,by left-sided cardiac failure), infarction may occur. Embolic obstruction of small end-arteriolar pulmonary branches often does produce hemorrhage or infarction. Multiple emboli over time may cause pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure. Systemic Thromboembolism Most systemic emboli (80%) arise from intracardiac mural thrombi, two-thirds of which are associated with left ventricular wall infarcts and another one-fourth with left atrial dilation and fibrillation. The remainder originates from aortic aneurysms, atherosclerotic plaques, valvular vegetations, or venous thrombi (paradoxical emboli); 10% to 15% are of unknown origin. In contrast to venous emboli, the vast majority of which lodge in the lung, arterial emboli can travel to a wide variety of sites; the point of arrest depends on the source and the relative amount of blood flow that downstream tissues receive. Systemic Thromboembolism Most come to rest in the lower extremities (75%) or the brain (10%), but other tissues, including the intestines, kidneys, spleen, and upper extremities, may be involved. The consequences of systemic emboli depend on the vulnerability of the affected tissues to ischemia, the caliber of the occluded vessel, and whether a collateral blood supply exists; in general, however, the outcome is tissue infarction. Fat Embolism Trauma Vascular Fat globules After fracture of long Rupture vascular sinusoid Fat travel to the lung bones, soft tissue trauma, in the marrow allowing burns marrow or adipose tissue to herniate into the vascular space Fat Embolism syndrom tacypneu Pulmonary Insufficiency dyspneu Tachycardia Irritability Neurologic symptom Restlessness Delirium or coma Anemia and Diffuse petechial rasht Thrombocytopenia Fatal in 5%-15% cases t Fat Embolism Fat microemboli and associated red cell and platelet aggregates and occlude and the pulmonary and cerebral microvasculature. release of free fatty acids from the fat globules exacerbates the situation by causing local toxic injury to endothelium, and platelet activation and granulocyte recruitment (with free radical, protease, and eicosanoid release) complete the vascular assault. Air Embolism Gas bubbles within the circulation can coalesce to form frothy masses that obstruct vascular flow and cause distal ischemic injury Mechanism → intense inflammatory response with release of cytokines that may injure the alveoli 300-500 ml of air 100 ml at 100 mL/ sec Bubbles in the central nervous system can cause mental impairment/ sudden onset of coma.

Shock is a state of circulatory failure that impairs tissue perfusion and leads to cellular hypoxia. 3 General Categories of shock Cardiogenic: Myocardial pump Hypovolemic Sepsis. Septic failure🡪low shock: shock, and the cardiac output. Low blood volume🡪 inflammatory low cardiac output. response syndrome. Et causa: intrinsic myocardial damage Et causa: massive (infarction), hemorrhage, fluid ventricular loss from severe arrhytmias, extrinsic burns. compression. Septic shocks🡪 a subset of sepsis in which particularly profound circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities🡪 greater risk of mortality. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)🡪 sepsis-like condition associated with systemic inflammation that may be triggered by variety of nonmicrobial insults🡪 burn, trauma. Sepsis🡪 life-threatening organ dysfunction et causa a dysregulated host response to infection. Major factors contributing to the pathophysiology of septic shock are following : 1. Inflammatory mediators. 2. Endothelial cell activation and injury. -Has 3 major sequele-thrombosis,increase vascular permiability,vasodilation 3. Metabolic abnormalities. -Septis patient exhibit insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. -Cytokines such as TNF & IL-1,stress induced hormone(glucagon,catecholamines)🡪gluconeogenesis. -At the same time the pro-inflammatory cytokines🡪suppress insulin 🡪resistance in the liver & other tissue🡪Hyperglycemia🡪reduced neutrophil function & bactericidal activity. 4. Organ disfunction. -Systemic hypotension, interstitialedema, microvascular dysfunction, and small vessel thrombosis🡪 the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues that, because of cellular hypoxia, fail to properly use those nutrients that are delivered🡪 failure of multiple organs.
