exam 3 and 4 Flashcards
(111 cards)
bleeding types
acquired or congenital
localized or general
severe bleeding that requires physical intervention
hemorrhage
localized bleeding - bleeding from
single location
ex. injury, infection, tumor
generalized bleeding
from multiple sites
-spontaneous, recurring
example of primary hemostasis disease
blood vessel defects, platelet defects
secondary hemostasis disease
single or multiple coag factor deficiencies
bleeding can be
mucocutaneous (systemic) or soft tissue (anatomic)
mucocutaneous
petechiae
purpura
ecchymoses
primary hemo symp:
bleeding gums
nose bleeds
hematemesis
menorrhagia
mucocutaneous hemorrhage is usually associated with
TCP
qualitative plt disorders
VWD
vascular disorders
anatomic bleeding seen in
acquired or congenital defects in secondary hemostasis or plasma coag factor deficiencies
-bleeding will happen right after and recurrently
anatomic bleeding usually is
internal
bleeds into joints
body cavities
muscles
CNS
getting patient history and physical exam is vital to diagnosis
thrombosis disorder
abnormalities in blood flow such as stasis
abnormalities in coag system
inappropriate formation of platelet or fibrin clots that obstruct blood vessels
-plt function
-leukocyte activation molecules
-blood vessel wall
predisposition to thrombosis secondary to a congenital or acquired disorder
thrombophilia
causes of thrombophilia
-physical, chemical or biologic events
-inappropriate and uncontrolled platelet activation
-uncontrolled blood coag system activation
-uncontrolled fibrinolysis suppression
screening test for hemostatic diseases
PFA
PT and aPTT
PLT count and CBC
mixing studies
thrombin time
clinical signs to look for in vascular disorders: hereditary
-tendency to bruise easily
-spontaneous bleeding especially from mucosal surfaces
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
-defect in blood vessels
-telangiectasias form on lips, tongue, face, and hands
-epistaxis
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia mode of inheritance
autosomal dominant
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia diagnosis
-lesions
-history of repeated hemorrhage
-family history
no specific therapy
allergic purpura (henoch-scholein purpura)
non-thrombocytopenic purpura characterized by allergic manifestations including skin rash and edema
seen following upper respiratory tract infection or certain food
henoch-scholein purpura is used when accompanied by
transient arthralgia
nephritis
abdominal pain
purpura lesions
henoch-scholein purpura seen most in what age
male children 3-7
delayed skin rash which develop into a lesion commonly found
feet
elbow
knees
butt
chest
test for henoch-scholein purpura
normal plt count
normal coag
last 4 weeks
-recover without treatment
