Flow reduction in systemic circuit creates

ischemia-leading to hypoxia

ischemia

lack of arterial flow

hypoxia

lack of oxygen in tissues

flow reduction in venous system altering waste removal and increases systemic pressure

venous engorgement or venous obstruction

general mechanisms that alter flow

1. changes in lyphatic syst.


2. blood vessel obstructions


3. blood vessel structural alterations

lymphadema

lymphatic flow alteration due to impairment in lymph circulation.


Primary-due to congenital abscence or decrease numbers of lymphatics


Secondary-sugical removal of lymph nodes (such as in mastectomies)

thrombus

clot attached to the vessel wall

thromboembolus

detached thrombus

most common cause of thromboembolus in arteries

athroschlrosis

most common cause of thromboembolus in veins

phlebitis

2 secondary locations thromboembolisms can form

1. heart valves that have been altered by acterial endocarditis


2. rheimatic heart diseases cause thrombi to form on cusps of valves inside heart.

Shock can lead to thrombi T/F?

True: impaired metabolisms activates the extrinsic clotting cascade and blood stasis.

arterial thrombi-two threats:

1. occlusion of artery


2. thromboembolus causing occlusion at distant site.

venous thrombi threat:

cause edema and can embolize (pulmonary)

air embolus

undissolved air

embolism

obstruciton of a vessel by an embolus

embolus

bolus of matter circulating in the blood stream

amneotic fluid embolism

forced into mother through uterine wall

bacterial embolism

aggregates of bacteria, most common subaccute bacterail endocarditits

fat embolism

caused by trauma to long bones, normally legs where large amounts of fat is stored.

foreign matter embolism

enters due to trauma, IV or interarterial lines

vasospasm

sudden invollutary constriction of arterial smooth muscle

inflammation-vasculitis

inflammation of intima of artery

phlebitis

inflimmation of intima of vein

mechanical compression

external forces altering blood flow

valvular incompetence

when intimal folds of venous valves are damaged. cause varicose veins and chronic venous insufficency

arteriosclerosis/athroschlerosis

complex conditions that alter the structure of the arteries.


-athro a specific type of arterio that cause an increase in the number of smooth muscle cells as the lipids collect in the intima



both narrow arterial lumen

aneurysms

localized dilation of arterial wall.


Usually form at biforcation of arteries

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF)

abnormal communication between arteries and veins.


Most common (AVM) AV-Malformation; lack of traditional cappilaries.

alterations in arterial blood flow

1. arteriosclerosis/atherosclerosis


2. ateritis


3. Raynaud Syndrome


4. aneurysms


5. acute arterial occlusion

Arteritis/Thromboangitis obliterans - Buerger Disease

inflammatory disese of peripheral arteries. Can occlude and obliterate small and medium arteries in feet and hands

Raynaud syndrome

A primary vasospastic disorder of unknown origin that mainly affects young women, attacks of vasospasms in small arteries and arterioles


-red white and blue disorder


blue finger tips, white fingers, red hands

raynaud phenomenom

symptoms of raynaud syndrome, but secondary to systemic diseases

true aneurysms

all three tunics of the blood vessel

false aneurysms

at least one tunic unaffected, forming a hematoma

dissectiong aneurysm

tear in arterial wall creates blood flow channel.


Cerebral aneurysms increase ICP.

Acute arterial occlusion (AAO)

an embolism lodges in major artery (Augustus Klump of CatCF).


No arterial flow to extermity. Gangrene occurs without surgery

6 Ps - symptoms of AAO

pallor (pale), parasthesia (tingling skin), paralysis, pain, polar (cold), pulseless.

Alterations of Venous flow

1. Valvular incompetence


2. varicose veins


3. chronic venous insufficency


4. Deep Vein Throbosis

causes of valvular incompetence

1. valvular over-stretching due to excessive venous pressure


2. backflow



Standing for long periods, pregnancy & obesity leading factors

varicose veins

veins in which blood has pooled

chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)

inadequate venous return over long period.


Pathological changes due to ischemia.


can cause venous stasis ulcers.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

obstruction (clot) of normal blood flow. Usually in lower extremities

hypertension

sustained elevation of systemic arterial pressure

3 common hypertension diseases

MIs, kidney disease, stroke

causes of hypertension

increase in cardiac output (increase in HR or SV) and/or peripheral resistance (increase blood viscosity or reduction in vessel diameter

Primary hypertension

essential or idiopathic HTN, no known cause. 90% of all cases.

Secondary hypertension

caused by altered hemodynamics associated with a primary disease.

factors of primary HTN

family hx, advanced age, gender, black race, high NaCl intake, glucose intolerance, smoking, obesity, alcohol intake

patho of primary HTN

1. genetic changes increase vascular tone and blood volume


2. mediated by SNS, RAA system, adducin natiuretic peptides.

shift in pressure-natriuresis relationship

person with HTN tends to secrete less salt in their urine

SNS contribution to HTN

activate renin-angiotension-aldosterone system increasing absorbtion of salt and contractility of blood vessels

endothelial dysfuction

decreased production of vasodialators and incresed production of vasocontrictors

isolated systolic HTN

increase in CO or total peripheral vascular resistance


-can be secondary to


dysfunction of aortic SL valve


abnormal heart opening


thyrotoxic crisis, Paget disease, beriberi

orthostatic HTN

decrease in BP on standing

defined obstructive pulmonary disorders

airway obstruction that worsens with expiration

most common OPD

asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema

hypoventilation

inadiquate alviolary ventilation

hyperventilation

excessive alveolar ventilation

asthma

inflamation creating hyperresponsiveness of airway

acute bronchitis

acute infection or inflamation of airway or bronchi

cause of chronic bronchitis

increased mucus produciton
