Hemostasis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Hemostasis is responsible for 3 important diseases | Myocardial infarction (heart attack), Pulmonary embolism, and Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) |
| Hyperemia and Congestion results from what process? | Local increased volume of blood w/in a tissue via dilation of small vessels |
| Hyperemia | an ACTIVE process due to increased Arterial inflow and arises in conditions like inflammation, blushing, or exercise. |
| Congestion | a PASSIVE process that arises from decreased Venous outflow and occurs in conditions like cardiac failure or obstructive venous disorder |
| Cyanosis | bluish coloration due to accumulation of deoxygenated hemoglobin |
| Edema | above normal amount of fluid in the intercellular (interstitial) tissue spaces or body cavities. |
| Anasarca | generalized edema |
| Hydrothorax | edema in chest cavity |
| Hydropericardium | edema in heart cavity > pericardial sac |
| Hydroperitoneum (ASCITES) | edema in the abdominal cavity |
| 4 causes of NONinflammatory edema | 1) Increase in intravascular hydrostatic pressure 2) fall in osmotic pressure of plasma proteins 3) impairment of lymphatic flow 4) removal or congenital malformation and renal retention of salt and water |
| Transudate | edema fluid secondary to increased hydrostatic pressure that is protein-poor |
| Exudate | inflammatory edema fluid that is protein-rich |
| Hemorrhage | extravasation of blood due to rupture of blood vessel |
| Hemorrhagic Diathesis | increased TENDENCY to hemorrhage |
| Hematoma | a hemorrhage that accumulates within soft tissue |
| Petechiae | minute hemorrhage (1-2mm) of the skin, mucous membranes or serosal surfaces |
| Purpura | hemorrhage of 3-5mm in size |
| Ecchymosis | hemorrhage over 1cm in size |
| Identify the changes in color when bruises resolve | Hemoglobin (red-blood color) is converted to Bilirubin (blue-green) and then Hemosiderin (golden/yellow-brown) which account for color change in resolving bruise. |
| Hemothorax | accumulation of blood in the chest cavity |
| Hemopericardium | accumulation of blood in the pericardium |
| Hemoperitoneum | accumulation of blood in the gut |
| Hemarthrosis | accumulation of blood in join spaces |
| 4 stages of HEMOSTASIS | 1) arteriolar vasoconstriction 2) Injury to Endothelial cells begin coagulation cascade forming temporary hemostatic plus (Primary Hemostasis) 3) Coagulation is activated forming THROMBIN & FIBRIN (Secondary Hemostasis) 4) Anti-thrombotic Mechanism starts |
| Antiplatelet, Antithrombogenic, and Fibrinolytic properties of Endothelial Cells | ADPase (adenosine diphosphatase), PGI2 (prostacyclin), NO (nitric oxide), Heparin-like molecules, Thrombomodulin, and Plasminogen activator. |
| PGI2 and NO | inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent adhesion to uninjured endothelium. |
| ADPase | degrades ADP, platelet aggregation |
| Heparin-like molecules | bind to antithrombin |
| Thrombomodulin | binds thrombin to activate Protein C to slow coagulation |
| Plasminogen activator | promote fibrinolytic activity |
| Prothrombotic Properties | Release of Tissue Factor and von Willebrand Factor |
| Tissue Factor | Factors that enable cells to initiate the blood coagulation cascade. |
| von Willebrand Factor | Endothelial cells that produce glycoprotein that facilitate platelet attachment to exposed collagen. |
| Damage to endothelium generate what three platelet reactions? | Adhesion, Activation, and Aggregation |
| Platelet Adhesion | Platelet adhere to exposed collagen with the help of von Willenbrand Factors to form a temporary plug |
| What products are released by Platelet Adhesion and its action? | Calcium, ADP, and Thromboxane A2 (TXA2). Platelet adhesion leads to surface expression of Phospholipid Complex necessary for coagulation cascade with the help of these products. |
| Platelet Aggregation leads to what two types of plugs? | Primary Hemostatic Plug and Secondary Hemostatic Plug. |
| Primary Hemostatic Plug | initial mass of loosely packed platelets and is Temporary |
| Secondary Hemostatic Plug | composed of Viscous Metamorphosis (initial gelatinous mass of platelets) that form into a Definitive hemostatic plug. |
| Clinical use of Aspirin | Pts at risk for coronary thrombosis are given aspirin to inhibit TXA2, that create antithrombotic environment. |
| The Coagulation System is divided into what two pathways? | Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways but interconnections exist between them. |
| Clinical testing for Hemostasis | Clotting Time and Bleeding Time |
| Clotting Time | length of time for specimen of blood to clot, it measures intrinsic system |
| Bleeding Time | length of time for a puncture wound to stop bleeding, it measures platelet aggregation |
| Laboratory testing for Hemostasis | Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Prothrombin Time (PT), and Thrombin Time (TT) |
| Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) | measures intrinsic (naturally occurring) system of clotting |
| Prothrombin Time (PT) | Measures extrinsic (outside factors) system through mixture of Factor III and plasma |
| Thrombin Time (TT) | Checks for fibrinogen deficiency by mixture of thrombin and plasma |
| Fibrinolytic System | a process that prevents blood clots from growing, it is contained within the site of injury. |
| Fibrinolytic System is composed of what three groups of anticoagulants and pathway inhibitor? | Antithrombics, Fibrinolytic, and Thrombolytics. Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor |
| Antithrombics | Heparin-like molecules that reduce blood clot formation. |
| Fibrinolytic | Plasminogen converted into PLASMIN which splits fibrin (clot) and inhibit coagulation. FIBRIN SPLIT PRODUCTS are formed from fragments of proteins released form dissolving clots. |
| Thrombolytic | Thrombomodulin are present on endothelial cells that interact with thrombin and converts it to an anticoagulant. This activates Proteins C and S (vit K-dependent components) that inactivates coagulation factors. |
| Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor | secreted by endothelium and inactivates active Factor X and activated tissue factor (Factor VIIa) = slowing of extrinsic pathway. |
| What is Thrombosis? | the formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel or heart, typically obstructs blood flow in the circulatory system |
| The name of the blood clot mass? | Thrombus |
| What is the term for 3 primary influences for predisposing thrombus formation and it's characteristics? | Virchow's Triad. Endothelial injury, Alteration in blood flow, and Hypercoagulability |
| Endothelial Injury | Primarily the cause of thrombogenesis and is the only condition that by itself, can lead to thrombus formation. Typically occur at traumatic of inflammatory injury, atherosclerotic or adjacent to MI or Injury. |
| Other Risks associated with Endothelial Injury | subtle injury like Hypercholesterolemia, radiation, tabacco, dysfunction of endothelial cells leading to greater procoagulants and less anticoagulants. |
| Two main causes of Alteration in Normal Blood Flow | Stasis and Turbulence (both promote thrombus formation through disruption of laminar blood flow) |
| Mechanism associated with stasis and turbulence | Disruption of flow pattern allow platelets to contact endothelium which permit platelet aggregation, decreases dilution of activated coagulation factor, and decrease clotting inhibitors. |
| Typical areas for Stasis and Turbulence | Stasis - problematic in veins. Turbulence - seen in arterial aneurysms (bulging of arterial walls) or adjacent to MI. |
| Common cause of Hypercoagulability | Although not common, caused by primary (genetic) or secondary (acquired) |
| Genetic causes of Hypercoagulability | mutation of prothrombin, mutation in Factor V, deficiency of Anticoagulants (antithrombin, protein C, protein S). |
| Clinical Significance of Hypercoagulability | Inherited (Genetic) causes should be investigated with Pts under 50 w/ significant thrombosis, even if risk factors are present. |
| Leiden Mutation | mutation on the Factor V gene resulting in prothrombotic state, homozygous carriers are at a higher risk for thrombosis. |
| Acquired Hypercoagulability | Damage to endothelial cells (MI), increased estrogen (pregnancy or contraceptives), cancers, autoantibodies leading to arterial and venous thrombosis, smoking, and obesity. |
| Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) | development of thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), HIT predisposes to thrombosis, HIT is caused by the formation of abnormal antibodies that activate platelets. |
| Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) | occurs with Lupus pts, is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by antiphospholipid antibodies, inhibit phospholipid complexes and inhibit coagulation |
| Arterial Thrombi | typically arises at the site of endothelial damage or turbulence, they are either attached to the vascular wall (MURAL - aorta or seen in aneyrysm) or obstruct the lumen (OCCLUSIVE - small arteries) |
| Lines of Zahn | a characteristic of thrombi[1] that appear particularly when formed in the heart or aorta, visible and microscopic alternating layers (laminations) of platelets mixed with fibrin. |
| White or Coaglutination thrombi | because they are mostly platelets and fibrin |
| Venous thrombosis (phlebothrombosis) | occurs in static (stasis) area 90% in leg veins, most being occlusive in nature. (aka Red, Coagulative, Stasis thrombi) |
| Characteristic of Red, Coagulative or Stasis Thrombi | slow moving with rich erythrocyte accumulation |
| 4 possible arises from vascular occlusion | 1) Propagation (often until critical vessel is blocked) 2) Embolization 3) Dissolution 4) Organization and recanalization |
| Disseminated Intravascular coagulation (DIC) | sudden or insidious onset of widespread thrombosis, can lead to consumption of platelets and coagulation factors. (aka Consumption Coagulopathy) |
| Embolous | detached intravascular solid, liquid or gaseous mass carried in the blood away from origin. |
| Other Thromboemboli | fat, atherosclerotic debris, gas bubbles, tumor fragments, bone marrow or foreign substances. can occur in arteries or veins |
| Pulmonary thromboembolism | a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). common among hospitalized pts |
| Clinical significance of Pulmonary thromboembolism | 95% come from deep leg veings above the knee |
| Saddle Embolous | Large pulmonary embolus, often fatal due to massive right side heart strain (ACUTE COR PULMONALE) or hypoxemia secondary to blockage of pulmonary vessel |
| Systemic Thromboembolism | traveling thrombus through the Arterial system, originates from intracardiac mural thrombi(80%) or less frequently from aneurym or atherosclerotic plaque. |
| Paradoxical Embolism | rare, systemic emboli appear to arise in veins but end up in arterial circulation due to interatrial or interventricular defect. |
| Fat Embolism | rare, may arise from soft tissue trauma, burns, but typically from bone fractures. 90% skeletal injury but less than 10% develop signs or symptoms. |
| Amniotic Fluid Embolism | occrs during birth 1/40,000 with 80% motality rate. emboli contains mixture of epithelial cells, hair, fat and mucus from amniotic fluid via tear in placentalmembrane or rupture of uterine veins. |
| Gas Embolism | gas bubbles that act like a physical obstructiom or form frothy masses that occlude vessels, aka Decompression Disease - occurs in deep sea divers. |
| Caisson Disease | persistent gas emboli in bones leading to multiple foci of ischemic necrosis, affects the head of long bones. |
| Infarction | localized area of ischemic necrosis within a tissue or organ produced by occlusion of either arterial supply or venous drainage. |
| Characteristics of Infarction | may either be red (Hemorrhagic) or white (Anemic). most common and dangerous infarction is myocardial, pulmonary and brain infarction. if pt survives, infarction is replaced by scar tissue. |
| Factors determining if an occlusion will produce infarction | 1) alternative or collateral circulation will help maintain vitality 2) if it developes slowly, alternative pathways of flow 3) tissues vulnerable to ischemia (myocardium and cns) 4) low O2 increases extent of infarction (hypoxemia) |
| Shock | systemic Hypoperfusion due to reduction in cardiac output or in the Effective circulatin blood volume. leads to hypotension, impaired tissue perfusion and cell hypoxia |
| 3 major categories of Shock | 1) Cardiogenic Shock 2) Hypovolemic Shock3) Septic Shock |
| Cardiogenic Schock | pump failure from infarction, arrhythmias(irregular heartbeat/abnormal heart rythm), extrinsic compression, or decreased heart function. |
| Hypovolemic Shock | arise through acute loss of critical fraction of the plasma volume, can be due to hemorrhage or exudation of plasma from large wounds or burns. |
| Septic Shock | occurs most frequently from gram negative infection resulting in endotoxemia. toxins produce visceral pooling of blood which lower circulating volume. muuch more complicated in mechanism and can lead to multiple system failure. |
| Neurologic shock | less common, may occur form anesthetic accident or spinal cord injury resulting in loss of vascular tone and peripheral pooling |
| Anaphylactic shock | Generalized IgE mediated hypersensitivity, systemic vasodilation and increased vascular permeability = loss of circulatory volume. |
| 3 progressive stages of Shock if untreated | 1) Nonprogressive Stage 2) Progressive stage 3) Irreversible stage |
| Nonprogressive stage | compensatory mechanism through tachycardia (fast heart rate), peripheral vasoconstriction, and renal retention of fluid. |
| Characteristic of Nonprogressive stage | pts present with hypotension, skin is cool and pallor but dont get confused with septic shock which will produce warm and flushed appearance. |
| Progressive stage | hypoperfusaion leading to widesapread tissue hypoxia and shift to anaerobic metabolism, release of lactic acid (decrease in blood pH, metabolic acidosis) |
| Characteristic of Progressive stage | vital organ begin to fail, anoxic endothelial damage and lead to DIC |
| Irreversible stage | organs become severely injured, myocardial damage leading to reduced cardiac output, intestinal necrosis allow GI flora to enter circulation and complete renal shutdown. |
