Organ Failure
inadequacy of cardiac pump which can cause cariogenic shock or heart failure
Heart failure
term used to describe several types of cardiac dysfunction that results in inadequate perfusion of tissue with blood borne-nutrients
Left sided heart failure
- more common
- left ventricle is not moving enough blood to the body
Right sided heart failure
- right side of heart isn’t pumping blood into the lungs as well
- blood is less oxygenated
Sudden cardiac death
natural death from cardiac causes within one hour of acute symptoms (not a heart attack)
hematopoiesis
- formation of blood cellular components in the bone marrow
- bone marrow is multiple potent stem cell
- lymphoid or myeloid process
hemoglobin
iron containing oxygen transporting metal protein in RBC
Heme
precurser to hemoglobin
erythropoiesos
formation of RBC
what is needed for erythropoiesos to occur
- ) protein
- ) Iron
- ) vitamin B12
- ) Folic acid
Erythropoietin (EPO)
hormone produced by the kidneys that simulates RBC production
where do platelets come from
fragmenets of megakaryocyte
hematocrit
- the volume % of RBC in blood
- normal is 12-16 g/dl of blood
blood smear
looks at blood cells
anemia
- abnormally low hemoglobin
- Caused by low hemoglobin in RBC or low RBC number
microcytic
smaller than normal
Macrocytic
- larger than normal
- due to deficiency in B12 of folic acid
- causes very few but very O2 rich hemoglobin
normocytic anemia
normal size and appearance
microcytic anemia
-cells smaller tha normal
Hypochronic anemia
reduced hemoglobin count
hypochronic microcytic anemia
reduced hemoglobin and smaller size
iron-deficeny anemia
- hypochormic microcytic anemia
- caused by low iron or chronuc blood loss
Perinicious anemia
- lack of B12 resulting in macrocytic anemia
- the lack of B12 can’t combine with instrinsic factor in the stomach
anemia of chronic disease
mild supression if bone marrow
