Hemodynamic disorders Flashcards
(171 cards)
Forces pushing fluid out of a vessel
hydrostatic pressure
Osmotic force keeping fluid in a vessel
Oncotic pressure
What is normally more than the other?
Forces keeping fluid in vessels or forces pushing/allowing fluid out?
Forces pushing/allowing fluid out is slightly greater
Excess interstitial fluid
Edema
Excess fluid in a cavity
Effusion
Intra-abdominal effusion
Ascites
3 reasons for excess fluid
Increased hydrostatic pressure
Decreased oncotic pressure
Increased vascular permeability
3 reasons for increased hydrostatic pressure
Decreased venous return (may be local or systemic)
Increased plasma volume (kidney failure or increased Na retention)
Decreased lymphatic drainage (tumor, filariasis, scar tissue)
2 reasons for decreased oncotic pressure
Decreased protein production (liver failure or malnutrition)
Increased protein loss (kidney failure or diarrheal illness)
Fluid high in protein and cellularity
Seen in situations with high vascular permeability (inflammation, endothelial damage)
Exudate
Fluid low in protein and cellularity
Seen in situations with high hydrostatic pressure or low colloid pressure (heart or liver failure)
Transudate
Does high or low hydrostatic pressure lead to transudate?
High
Disorder of perfusion involving increased intravascular blood due to increased inflow (inflammation)
Hyperemia
Disorder of perfusion involving increased intravascular blood due to decreased outflow (heart failure)
May cause hepatomegaly
Congestion
Disorder of perfusion involving blood leaving vascular space
Trauma, vascular disease, coagulopathy
Hemorrhage
What is hyperemia (increased intravascular blood) due to?
Increased inflow
What is congestion (increased intravascular blood) due to?
Decreased outflow
Condition that makes someone vulnerable to bleeding with small injury
Can cause hemorrhages
Can involve platelets or coagulation proteins
Coagulopathy
Pinpoint hemorrhage in skin or cornea
Due to microvascular rupture
Petechiae
Diffuse superficial hemorrhages in skin
Often a confluence; often seen in small vessel disorders
Purpura
Larger collection of blood in superficial skin
Ecchymosis
