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 |
