Q

Pathogenesis endothelial injury

A

Vasoconstriction - endothelin

Hemostasis - ADP, TXA, Pf4, vWF
Platelets adhesion 
Shape change
Granule release ADO TXA2
Recruitment 
Aggregation 

Secondary hemostasis
Tissue factor, release of phospholipid complex expression, thrombin activation, fibrin polymerisation

Q

Hypercoagulability

A

Alteration of blood coagulation mechanism which predisposes thrombosis

Primary genetic - mutation v gene leiden mutation, antithrombin deficieny lll, protein c and sndeficiency

Secondary acquired - high risk bed rest immobilisation, tissue damage prosthetic valves DIC smoking sickle cell anaemia

17
Q

Fate of thrombus

A

Resolution
Lungs
Organised and incorporated into wall
Organised and recanalisdd

18
Q

Arterial thrombosis

A

Loss of pulses distal to thrombus
Area is cold pale painful oaraesthesia
Tissue dies and gangrene

19
Q

Venous thrombosis can be

A

Superficial saphenouscongrstion swelling pain tender (rarely embolise)

Deep foot and ankle odemea
Homans sign
Asymptomatic

20
Q

Treatment

A

Stockings
Anticoagulant drugs

Herpain IV and warfarin ORAL

21
Q

Embolus

A

Detached solid that is carried by blood to distant site

90% all emoji arise in thrombus

22
Q

Embolism

A
Bone bone marrow
Atheromatus debris
Droplets of fat 
Tumor
Foreign bodies bullet
Sbublles of air nitrogen
23
Q

Pulmonary embolism

A

Occlusion of large pulmaonry artery

95 due to thrombinin veins of lower leg

May impact main pulmonary artery or lodge at bifurcation as saddle emobilus

24
Q

Consequences of pulmonary embolism

A

Respiratory compromise
Haemodynamic comprosmise

LARGE PENinstatenous death
Pulseless electrical activity PEA

25
Q

Smaller pe cause

A

Acute respiratory and cardiac problems

26
Q

Systemic embolism

A

through arterial circulation

Arise form thrombi in heart

Ulcerated atherosclerotic plaque
Aortic aneurysm
Infective endocarditis
Valvular or aortic prosthesis

Cause infarction
Lower extremities, brain, viscera, upper limbs

27
Q

Air embolism

A

Bubbles in circulation obstruct vascular flow and damage tissues

Barotruma

Delivery or abortion
Pneumothorax
Injury chest wall
Caisson disease or decompression sickness

28
Q

What’s caisson diseas

A

Scuba deep sea workers in underwater individual decompressed too rapidly, helium and nitrogen form gaseous emboli

29
Q

Treatment for caisson disease

A

Decompression chamber

30
Q

Fat embolism

A

Minute globules of fat - fracture of shafts and soft tissue trauma

Fat embolism syndrome

31
Q

Fat embolism pathogenesis

A

Mechanical - microagreagtes of neutral fat cause occlusion

Chemical - free fatty acids release from fat globules result in toxic injury to vascular endothelium

32
Q

Detecting dat embolism

A

Pulmonary insufficnxy
Neurological symptoms
Anaemia and thrombocytopenia

Latent after 24/72 hrs

33
Q

Amniotic fluid embolism

A

Rare labour maternal mortality 86%

Caused by infusion of amniotic fluid into maternal circulation

Respiratory difficulty
Convulsions
Coma

34
Q

Infarct

A

Area of ishcaemic necrosis caused by occlusion of arterial supply or venous drainage of tissue

35
Q

Causes of infarcts

A

99%

Thrombosis

36
Q

Types of infarcts

Septic or bland

37
Q

Infarcts in ovary

A

38
Q
