Question
Answer
DIC   Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation. widespread fibrin microthrombi in microcirculation.  
🗑
DIC causes paradoxical ______   DIC can cause uncontrollable bleeding via "consumption coagulopathy". Consumption of platelets and coagulation factors  
🗑
embolism   any intravascular solid, liquid, or gas  
🗑
paradoxic embolism   emboli passes through heart wall defect to go to circulation (rather than lungs)  
🗑
Percent of pulmonary embolisms that are clinically silent?   60-80%  
🗑
What is effect of pulmonary embolism on large/medium/small pulmonary arteries?   Large: If >60% of blood to lungs blocked: death. Medium artery PE: pulmonary hemorrhage (not infarct b/c of collateral blood) Small artery: get incorporated into wall or leave a fibrous web. Small end-arteriole block may infarct  
🗑
vegetation   abnormal growth. often associated with endocarditis. can be made of fibrin/platelets. often labeled infective or non-infective. can be root cause of thrombi  
🗑
second most common cause of embolism?   fat embolism  
🗑
Most common cause of fat embolism   occur in 90% of severe skeletal injuries.  
🗑
Signs of fat embolism   Usually 1-3 days post injury, sudden tachypnea, dyspnea, tachycardia. 20%-50% of patients have diffuse petechial rash and may have neurological symptoms.  
🗑
Thrombocytopenia   any disorder in which there is an abnormally low amount of platelets  
🗑
caisson disease   persistent gas emboli in poorly vascularized portions of the skeleton (heads of femurs, tibia, humeri) lead to ischemic necrosis  
🗑
red infarcts occur in:   If there is collateral circulation or congestion: -venous occlusions -loose tissues -tissues with dual circulation (lung, sm intestine)  
🗑
White infarcts occur when:   blood cannot get to infarcted area: -in solid organs with end-arterial circulation (eg: heart, kidney, spleen)  
🗑
Shock   systemic hypoperfusion  
🗑
shock caused by? (list the three classes)   -cardiogenic -hypovolemic -septic  
🗑
most common cause of septic shock   70% are caused by gram-negative (LPS) bacilli expressing endotoxin (endotoxic shock).  
🗑
end stage of shock?   multiorgan system failure  
🗑
Patients surviving initial complications shock are at risk for?   Renal insufficiency w/ electrolyte imbalances  
🗑
anasarca   severe systemic edema  
🗑
most common cause of systemic edema?   congestive heart failure  
🗑
5 main causes of edema   -increased hydrostatic pressure -reduced plasma osmotic pressure -lymphatic obstruction -sodium retention -inflammation  
🗑
dependent edema. What is it? What disease is most likely cause?   edema that is influenced by gravity. Typical of CHF (swollen ankles)  
🗑
First sign of hypoproteinemia?   periorbital/eyelid edema. Hypoproteinemia causes more systemic edema, but first seen in loose connective tissue.  
🗑
What do slices of lungs effected by pulmonary edema look like?   "frothy, blood-tinged mixture of air, edema fluid and erythrocytes?"  
🗑
locally increased blood volume.   hyperemia (active) and congestion (passive)  
🗑
hyperemia   active process in which arteriolar dilation leads to increased blood flow (eg at sites of inflammation or skeletal muscle during exercise)  
🗑
congestion   a passive process resulting from reduced outflow of blood from a tissue. (can be systemic: cardiac failure, or local: isolated venous obstruction  
🗑
nutmeg liver   chronic passive congestion of the liver  
🗑
chronic congestion can lead to has what tell-tale sign?   hemosiderin-laden macrophages. Chronic congestion causes small hemorrhagic foci; catabolism of extravasated red cells  
🗑
Hemosiderin   Hemosiderin is most commonly found in macrophages and is especially abundant in situations following hemorrhage, suggesting that its formation may be related to phagocytosis of red blood cells and hemoglobin.  
🗑
heart failure cells   hemosiderin laden macrophages. Caused by chronic congestion (which is often caused by congestive heart failure)  
🗑
signs of acute vs chronic congestion?   - acute congestion will cause capillary dilation w/edema - chronic congestion will cause areas of hemorrhage with hemosiderin laden macrophages  
🗑
1-2 mm hemorrhage   petechiae  
🗑
>= 3 mm hemorrhage   purpura  
🗑
> 1-2 cm hemorrhage   ecchymoses  
🗑
Progression of color changes of a bruise (also name the chemical's that impart the colors)   - hemoglobin (red/blue) to bilirubin (yellow) to biliverdin (greenish/blue) to hemosiderin (golden brown)  
🗑
how much blood loss is "ok"   Rapid loss of up to 20%, or slow losses of even larger amounts, may have little impact.  
🗑
accumulation of blood in joints   hemarthrosis  
🗑
First response to vascular injury (with cause)?   arteriolar vasoconstriction mediated by reflex neurogenic mechanisms and local secretion of endothelin  
🗑
endothelin   proteins that constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. released by endothelium  
🗑
platelet's "stick" to extra-cellular matrix via   vWF: von Willibrand Factor  
🗑
What is the receptor on platelets that bind with vWF   GPIb. Glycoprotein Ib.  
🗑
vWF disease   Bleeding disorder. Qualitative or quantitative deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF). Most common hereditary coagulation abnormality.  
🗑
Bernard-Soulier syndrome   rare autosomal recessive coagulopathy (bleeding disorder) that causes a deficiency of glycoprotein Ib (GpIb), the receptor for von Willebrand factor, which is important in clot formation.  
🗑
alpha granule   one of two granule types released by platelets. alpha granules contain: - P-selectin - factors V and VIII - TGF-beta - fibrinogen - fibronectin  
🗑
dense or delta granules contain   - ADP - ATP - ionized calcium - histamine - seratonin - epinephrine  
🗑
ADP amplifies   ADP amplifies ADP release (amplification)  
🗑
ADP activates:   "ADP is a potent activator of platelet aggregation"  
🗑
Thromboxane A2 properties?   - vasoconstrictor - activates new platelets (which makes more Thromboxane A2) - increases platelet adhesion -  
🗑
activated platelets leads to appearance of ______ charged ______ on platelet surface. Why are these important?   activated platelets leads to appearance of NEGATIVELY charged PHOSPHOLIPIDS. These bind Ca2+ and act as sites for coagulation cascade  
🗑
clopidogrel   aka Plavix. The drug works by irreversibly inhibiting ADP receptors on platelets (thereby blocking platelet aggregation)  
🗑
primary hemostatic plug   platelet aggregation  
🗑
secondary hemostatic plug   irreversibly fused mass of platelets (bound by fibrin)  
🗑
action of t-PA   activates plasminogen to plasmin which degrades fibrin  
🗑
source of t-PA   thrombin induces endothelial t-PA release  
🗑
PAI   plasminogen activator inhibitors. prevent t-PA from breaking up fibrin  
🗑
plasmin function   degrades fibrin clots.  
🗑
activates plasminogen to plasmin (2 things)   t-PA urokinase  
🗑
______ inhibits thromin, IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa   antithrombin complexed with heparin-like-molecules  
🗑
PGI2   prostacyclin. decreases platelet aggregation/adherence. also is a vasodilator  
🗑
what deactivates factors Va and VIIIa?   activated protein C  
🗑
How does protein C get activated?   thrombomodulin modifies thrombin so that it can cleave proteins C and S. activated protein C deactives factors Va and VIIIa.  
🗑
TFPI   tissue factor pathway inhibitor. a cell surface protein that directly inhibits tissue facor - factor VIIa and factor Xa activities.  
🗑
nitric oxide effect on platelets?   stops platelet adhesion. also a vasodilator  
🗑
Factor V Leiden   a variant of human factor V that causes a hypercoagulability disorder. Leiden factor V cannot be inactivated by activated protein C.  
🗑
Polycythemia   increase in hematocrit. can result in small vessel stasis & thrombosis  
🗑
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome   occurs in patients with antibodies against anionic phospholipids (platelets) that can activate platelets. May cause hypercoagulation  
🗑
which direction to arterial thrombi grow? in veins?   all thrombi grow toward the heart. Arterial thrombi grow toward the heart (retrograde).  
🗑
HIT   heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. exogenous unfractionated heparin causes immune system to target heparin & platelet factor 4. Platelets get activated. Creates prothrombic state (paradoxical to heparin injection) and lowered platelet count.  
🗑
