Heat Redness Swelling Pain Loss Of Func. The 5 Cardinal Signs of
Vascular Flow Disorders By: Dr.salem f gerbadi
Oedema ( OR edema) Hyperaemia & congestion Overview of normal haemostasis Haemorrhage Thrombosis Embolism Infarction Shock We are Going to Discuss the Following
In a 70 kg weight adult male there are: 40 liters of total body water 70% Distributed in: 25 liters of intracellular fluid 15 liters of extracellular fluid divided into: 12 liters of interstitial fluid 3 liters of intravascular fluid ( plasma ) Fluid Compartments
Intravascular and extravascular fluid compartments are separated by permeable membranes. Distribution of fluid between these two compartments depend on water movement. Na is the main cation of the extracellular fluid.(interstitial &intravascular) Note
Oncotic pressure (or colloid osmotic pressure ) is the pressure exerted by plasma proteins across Blood vessel wall . Hydrostatic pressure is the force that drives fluid through the vessels walls into the interstitial space Pressure gradients
Fluid Homeostasis
Oedema refers to fluid accumulation in the interstitial space . Causes: Increased hydrostatic pressure Decreased plasma oncotic pressure Lymphatic obstruction Sodium and water retention inflammation Edema
Localized : Due to local obstruction example: Venous Thrombosis in lower extremities (local edema). Generalized : Congestive Heart Failure (generalized edema). The serum protein(Albumin) is MOST responsible for the maintenance of colloid osmotic pressure.” I . Increased Hydrostatic Pressure II. Reduced Plasma Oncotic Pressure
Increased albumin Loss: Nephrotic Syndrome & intestinal loss. Reduced albumin synthesis: liver disease Protein malnutrition ( Kwashiorkor)and malabsorption II. Reduced Plasma Oncotic Pressure
Examples: Infection (e.g. Filariasis in Elephantiasis ) Tumor permeation. E.g. breast p eau d orange (i.e. orange like) Postirradiation Postsurgical Primary lymphatic channel tumor ( lymphangiosarcoma ) Lymphatic Obstruction
Edema Fluid Exudate Transudate Inflammatory High hydrostatic pr. Cause High 2.5-3.5g\dl Low > 1g\dl Protein content >1.020) <1.012) Specific gravity Rich Absent Inflammatory cells <7.3 >7.3 pH
Definitions Hyperaemia is the active increase in blood flow Congestion is the passive engorgement of a tissue with blood due to obstruction to venous outflow. 17
Is extravasation of blood from vessels into the extravascular space. Hemorrhage can be external or can be confined within a tissue; any accumulation is referred to as a hematoma Petechiae PurPura Ecchymoses HEMORRHAGE
Haemostasis .
Is the maintenance of the blood in its fluid state inside the vascular tree and solidification of blood (clot) in case of injury to prevent excessive blood loss. Normal haemostasis is an interplay between three components: Endothelial cells Platelets Coagulation system Definition of Haemostasis
Hemostatic disorders Thrombosis
Is the formation of a solid or a semi-solid mass from the constituents of blood within the vascular system during life. Not from blood embolism Outside vascular system clotting or haemostasis After death clotting Hemostatic disorders Thrombosis
Three primary influences predispose to thrombus formation, the so-called Virchow triad : endothelial injury stasis or turbulence of blood flow blood hypercoagulability In other words it results from interaction platelets, damaged endothelial cells and the coagulation cascade. .
Virchow’s Triad
Either: Physical injury exposure of sub-endothelial collagen Release of tissue factor Loss of anticoagulant effect of normal endothelium OR dysfunction tipping of pro-/anti-thrombotic balance Altered Endothelium
Either: Stasis activation of coagulation cascade OR turbulence endothelial dysfunction blood cells get contact with endothelium Altered blood flow
Either: (for sake of simplification) Increased coagulation factor activity , OR Decreased natural anticoagulants activity Increased Coagulability
Pale thrombus: forms in rapidly flowing blood (e.g. arterial). Grayish and firm Red thrombus: forms in slowly flowing blood (e.g. venous). Dark and gelatinous Mixed thrombus Types of thrombi
Venous (most common) oedema Arterial (more serious) necrosis Cardiac (e.g. in narrow mitral valve, thrombus may form in the atrium) Capillary (e.g. during acute inflammation) Site of thrombi
Fate
Embolism
Embolism Is the transference of abnormal material by the blood stream and its impaction in a vessel distant to the site of injury. Embolus is the impacted material Embolism
Thromboembolism Fat embolism Amniotic fluid embolism Air embolism Septic emboli Types of Emboli
Infarction
Ischaemia is deficient supply of blood. Infarction is tissue death due to reduction or loss of blood supply. Such tissue is termed an infarct Infarction can be due to venous or arterial occlusion. Infarction
Anatomy of vascular supply Tissue metabolic rate and type of metabolism Rate of development of occlusion Oxygen content of the blood Factor That Affect Tissue Response to Ischaemia
