an insoluuble mass(solid,liquid,gaseous) circulating in blood is an?
embolus
occlusion or obstruction of a blood vessel by an embolus is an?
embolism
origin and type of embolism is?
thromboembolism
fat embolism
air or gas embolism
Thromboembolism is a?
fragmented or detached thrombi (98%)
site of embolism depends on origin
-pulmonary
-systemic embolism
Pulmonary embolism derived from thrombi of systemic veins, mainly?
deep veins of legs (95%)
Systemic embolism are derived from mural thrombi due to?
myocardial infarction
-mitral stenosis and A-fib
aortic aneurysm or atheromatous plaque
Fat embolism
is the?
mechanism is?
fat globules enter blood after second most frequent type of emboli
- fat globules enter blood after fracture of long bone
effect depends on size.
- more than 20?
less than 20?
1. arrest in lung---> dyspnea

2. pass to systemic circulation-->
brain: ischemia, necrosis, hemorrhage
Skin: hemorrhagic rash, thrombocytopenia
Clinical Dx of fat embolism is ?
resp distreass, cerebral dysfunction, skin rash 1-3 days after trauma
Air embolism etiology?
surgery or trauma to IJV
-during delivery or abortion- air entering ruptured uterus
- iatrogenic pneumothorax
Gas (nitrogen) embolism
(caison disease, decompression sickness..
breathing pressurized air.- more air goes into solution in bl and tissue
rapid decompression to sea level; dissolved gases come out of solution
definition of Infarction?
area of localized ischemic necrosis produced by occlusion of atrial supply or venous drainage
etiology of infarction includes?
atherosclerosis
thrombo-embolic
pressure on veins from tumor/mass
twisting of vascular pedicle e.g. testis,ovary
Morphology of infarcts;
wedge shaped area
1. Necrosis of both.... which leads to .....
parenchyma and CT

ischemic coagulative necrosis(all infarcts)- replaced by scar tissue

liquefactive necrosis- in CNS
Red margin is due to>
an acute inflammatory reaction in surrounding tissue
TYPES OF INFARCTS
TYPES OF INFARCTS
Pale, white, anemic infarct?
arterial obstruction in SOLID ORGANS with poor COLLATERAL CIRCULATION- spleen, heart, kidney, brain
Red, hemorrhagic infarct?
OBSTRUCTION OF VENOUS outflow and congestion
-LOOSE organs-lungs
-Organs w/ DOUBLE BLOOD SUPPLY- liver lung
definition of shock?
dec tissue perfusion assoc decrease in effective cardiac ouput
types of shock are?
1. cardiogenic-dec cardiac output
2. hypovolemic
3. shock due to peripheral sequestration of blood volume
cardiogenic shock is decreased cardiac output due to heart failure assoc with?
MI
massive pulmonary embolism
cardiac tamponade
arrhythmias
hypovolemic shock is decreased cardiac output due to decrease blood volume assoc with?
hemorhage
fluid loss eg. burn, diarrhea, vomit
shock due to peripheral sequestration of blood volume assoc with?
endotoxin of grain negative bacteria-septic shock
2. chemical mediators of allergy- anaphylactic
3. anethesia, sp injury- neurogenic shock
stages of shock:
Compensation-
decreased cardiac output- reflex sympathetic response leads to?
tachycardia
peripheral vasoconstriction
skin is cold and clammy
renal arterioles- decreased GFR- decrease urine
stage of shock:
impaired tissue perfusion- stage of decompression- prolonged vasoconstriction leads to?
anaerobic glycolysis-->lactic acidosis---> hypotension, tachycardia, dyspnea
and ultimately tissue necrosis
Irreversible stage leads to?
failure of peripheral vasoconstriction
high mortality rate with?
cardiogenic shock due to existing cardiac disease
septic shock due to difficulty in infection control
