Question
Answer
thrombus   solid intravascular mass formed during life from circulating blood elements; composed of mix of plts, leukocytes, RBCs and fibrin  
🗑
clot   masses of RBCs, plts, leukocytes and fibrin that form extravascularly after hemorrhage, in vitro or postmortem  
🗑
Virchow's triad   abnormality of endothelium interruption of blood flow (stasis) hypercoagulability  
🗑
endothelial abnormalities are most important for thrombi that develop in the ____ & ______   arteries, cardiac chambers  
🗑
antiplt effects of endothelium   shielding plts from subendothelial EC matrix, inhibition of activated adhesion via prostacyclin and NO  
🗑
anticoagulant effects of endothelium   production of thrombomodulin & heparan sulfate and other anticoagulant glycoproteins  
🗑
fibrinolytic effects of endothelium   synthesis of tPA  
🗑
the most 2 important causative factor for venous (and sometimes arterial) thrombi   stasis of blood or turbulent flow and hypercoagulability  
🗑
3 reasons why stasis promotes thrombogenesis   1) plts are brought into contact with endothelial surface 2) acivated coag factors reach high local factors 3) inflow of coag cascade factors is reduced  
🗑
how atherosclerosis contributes to arterial thrombosis   associated with endothelial injury and causes disruption of blood flow  
🗑
examples of secondary hypercoagulable states (more important than primary or hereditary states)   CHF, bed rest/immobilization, obesity, preg, soft tissue or bone injury, systemic malignancies, etc  
🗑
initial plt aggregate then plt/leukocyte/fibrin meshwork = compeleted thrombus    
🗑
lines of Zahn   plt/leukocyte/fibrin lamellae, distinguish a thrombus from a simple postmortem clot  
🗑
2 fates of thrombi   dissolution organization/recanalization  
🗑
dissolution   fibrinolysis of fibrin matrix and complete resolution of thrombus  
🗑
oragnization/recanalization   "organizing" - fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells migrate into fibrin-rich thrombus "recanalization" - formation of new vessels within substance of thrombus  
🗑
thromboembolus   piece of thrombus that dislodged from thrombus and is travelling in the blood to distant sites  
🗑
embolic occlusion of > than 50-60% of the pulmonary arterial tree   designates a massive PE  
🗑
embolic occlusion of < than 30% of the pulmonary arterial tree, especially in a previously healthy pt   classifies a minor PE  
🗑
sequence of events leading to death after massive PE   occlusion of PA, RV dilates b/c of increased workload, decreased filling of RA means less filling of LV, decreased LV output leads to systemic hypoperfusion including coronary arteries, kidneys and brain --> ischemia and infarcts  
🗑
List various types of emboli.   gas, FB, fat emboli after trauma to long bones, tissue fragments like placenta, amniotic fluid and neoplastic cells  
🗑
pulmonary infarcts are usually a results of PEs   especially in those with CHF, systemic hypotension or preexisting lung dz where bronchial circulation isn't enough to compensate for decrease inflow of blood from PAs  
🗑
most typical area for pulmonary infarcts to occur   costophrenic angle, usually on or near the pleural surface  
🗑
definition of shock and examples of the 3 types   severe hemodynamic and metabolic disturbance characterized by generalized decrease in perfusion of the microcirculation systemically hypovolemic, cardiogenic and septic  
🗑
cardiogenic shock   shock as a result of failure of the pump for one of several reasons: massive PE, ventricular rupture, cardiac tamponade, MI, arrhythmias, etc  
🗑
hypovolemic shock   follows massive loss of volume from severe burns, hemorrhage, v/d. pt is clammy and cyanotic  
🗑
septic shock   a result of overwhelming microbial infection, systemic vasodilation due to toxin-mediated processes leads to myocardial dysfunction and end organ hypoperfusion. pt is flushed and warm  
🗑
result of shock in the heart   subendocardium myocyte necrosis, decreased perfusion results in the tissue just beneath the endocardium dying first b/c it's the last to be perfused from the outside coronary arteries  
🗑
result of shock in the liver   acute hemorrhagic centrilobular necrosis b/c these hepatocytes are the last to receive blood from the portal triads ; "nutmeg" liver  
🗑
result of shock in the kidney   acute tubular necrosis associated with oliguria  
🗑
DIC   disseminated intravascular coagulation is a result of an insult to the systemic endothelium typically during septic shock; cytokine release favors procoagulation until all the factors and plts run out then hemorrhage is more likely  
🗑
