Description and Tags

Flashcards consist of section 2b, Hemodynamic disorders

20 Terms

1
Hemodynamic disorders
Interruptions of normal blood flow usually involving a thrombus or thromboembolus.
New cards
2
Thrombosis
Formation of a thrombus, which is organized unlike a random clot.
New cards
3
Thrombus
A thrombus is a blood clot that is attached to the wall of a blood vessel.
New cards
4
Lines of Zahn
Alternating layers of fibrin and cells found in growing thrombus.
New cards
5
Endothelial damage
Damage to the vascular lining exposing collagen, causing platelet aggregation.
New cards
6
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
A thrombus that forms in the deep veins of the legs, posing significant risk.
New cards
7
Thromboembolism
A part of an attached thrombus that breaks off and travels downstream, potentially causing ischemia.
New cards
8
Pulmonary embolism
A blockage in the pulmonary artery usually originating from leg veins.
New cards
9
Fibrinolytic system
The system in the body that breaks down fibrin, limiting clotting, and promoting blood flow.
New cards
10
Air emboli
Bubbles of gas in blood vessels that can cause critical complications during diving or surgical procedures.
New cards
11
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE)
A rare condition where amniotic fluid cells enter the maternal circulation causing severe complications.
New cards
12
Fat emboli
Emboli that occur when fat globules enter the bloodstream, often following bone fractures.
New cards
13
Necrosis
Tissue death due to the loss of blood supply, often as a result of an infarction.
New cards
14
Myocardial infarction
A heart attack resulting from the occlusion of coronary arteries.
New cards
15
Cerebral infarction
A stroke caused by the disruption of blood supply to the brain.
New cards
16
Anticoagulants
Medications used to prevent blood clotting, such as heparin and aspirin.
New cards
17
Foreign body emboli
Emboli caused by objects such as bullet fragments or glass that can occlude vessels.
New cards
18
Flow abnormalities
Reduction or stasis of blood flow which can lead to thrombus formation.
New cards
19
Turbulence
Irregular blood flow that can increase the likelihood of thrombus formation.
New cards
20
Recanalization
The process by which blood flow is partially restored through an organized thrombus.
