1. Hemodynamic disorders include edema, hemostasis, thrombosis, embolism, and shock. Edema is excess fluid in tissues and can result from increased capillary pressure, decreased plasma proteins, lymphatic obstruction, sodium retention, or increased capillary permeability. 2. Hemostasis and thrombosis involve the vascular wall, platelets, and coagulation cascade. Thrombosis occurs when the clotting process is inappropriately activated, forming clots in uninjured vessels. 3. Embolism occurs when a detached mass such as a thrombus is carried by the bloodstream to obstruct vessels elsewhere. Pulmonary embolism is a common type that arises from deep vein

1. HEMODYNAMIC DISORDERS
• EDEMA
• HEAMOSTASIS (BLEEDING)
• THROMBOSIS
• EMBOLISM
• SHOCK

2. Distribution of Body Fluids
• Total body water (TBW) 60% of total body
weight
– Intracellular fluid – inside the cells
– Extracellular fluid – not encased in cells
• Interstitial fluid – found in between cells and tissues
• Intravascular fluid- plasma found in circulatory system
• Lymph, synovial, intestinal, biliary, hepatic, pancreatic,
CSF, sweat, urine, pleural, peritoneal, pericardial, and
intraocular fluids are extracellular

3. A .Edema
• Edema is defined as excess fluid in interstitial
compartment
Interstitial fluid is the balance between
• capillary hydrostatic pressure which tends to
encourage water to enter the interstitium
• plasma oncotic pressure which tends to
encourage water to leave the interstitium
• lymphatic drainage which allows water and
proteins to leave the interstitium

4. Cont..
1.Increased Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
Normal situation
• pressure inside the capillary is greater than
pressure in the interstitial space
• water tends to flow out of the capillary into
the interstitium

5. Cont…
1.1.Edema production
• Increased hydrostatic pressure in the capillary bed
leads to increased rate of fluid loss into the
intestitium
• This is most commonly associated with impeded
outflow through venous system (increased venous
back pressure)
• Examples: congestive heart failure, portal
hypertension; localized: venous thrombosis, varicose
veins, pressure from outside (tumours)

6. Cont…
2.1`Edema production
• Reduced plasma proteins (especially albumin)
lead to reduced osmotic reabsorption of
interstitial fluid back into capillaries
• Associated with: loss of proteins (nephrotic
syndrome, protein losing enteropathies, burns) or
decreased production of albumin (liver failure,
protein malnutrition)

7. Morphology of edema
Grossly – easily recognizable

8. Cont..
3.Lymphatic obstruction
Normal situation
• lymphatic vessels begin as blind ended capillaries
in the interstitium
• they collect excess fluid (about 2ml/min) and the
small amount of protein that accumulate in the
interstitium; this fluid is returned to the venous
circulation via thoracic duct

9. Cont…
3.1.Edema production
• obstruction of lymphatics prevents removal of excess
interstitial fluid
• produces localized edema depending upon which
lymphatic drainage is obstructed
• examples: tumors (esp. metastatic to lymph nodes)
surgical removal of lymphatics (radical mastectomy)
fibrosis and scaring (post-inflammatory or post-
radiation) parasites (filariasis)

11. Cont…
4.Sodium Retention
Normal situation
• sodium is the major determinant of the
osmolarity of extracellular fluid
• sodium therefore is a major influence in
extracellular fluid volume
• sodium levels are primarily controlled by renal
excretion,

12. Cont…
4.1Edema production
• increased sodium ! increased extracellular
fluid volume; that means
– a proportional increase in interstitial fluid
– increased blood volume ! increased
hydrostatic pressure
• usually occurs on the basis of impaired renal
excretion of sodium (decreased blood flow to
the kidneys,renal disease)

14. Cont…
5. Increased Capillary Permeability
• leads to loss of fluid and protein into interstitium
• usually produces localized edema associated with
inflammation (blisters, hives), burns, allergic
reaction

15. Cont…
6.Congestive Heart Failure
• A syndrome that occurs when the heart does not
pump an adequate volume of blood to meet the
needs of the body (decreased cardiac output).

16. Cont..
6.1.Edema production is associated with:
– sodium retention, which leads to increased blood
volume
– increased venous back pressure due to inability
of the heart to effectively pump the blood that is
returned to it

17. Cont..
7.Renal disease
• Decreased renal blood flow and some intrinsic
renal diseases lead to sodium retention and thus
production of edema.
8.Nephrotic syndrome
• Massive loss of protein in urine, accompanied by
hypoproteinemia, and generalized edema.
Associated with glomerular damage..

18. Cont…
8.1.Mechanism of edema in nephrotic syndrome
1. increased glomerular capillary permeability to proteins
2. loss of protein (especially albumin) in urine
3. hypoalbuminemia
4. decreased colloid osmotic pressure
5. movement of fluid from intravascular space to interstitium
leads to decreased blood volume
6. that leads to activation of renin-angiotensin system
7. results in retention of sodium and water

19. Cont…
9.Cirrhosis of the Liver
9.1. Pathogenesis of edema in cirrhosis
1. Scarring and reorganization of liver architecture
obstructs blood flow through the liver; and high
arterial pressure is transmitted into portal system.
This mechanisms lead to increased hydrostatic
pressure in portal system. Ascites is formed.
2. Loss of functioning hepatocytes ! decreased
production of albumines and other plasma proteins !
decreased oncotic pressure of the plasma.

20. B. Hemostasis and thrombosis
• Normal hemostasis – rapid and localized
hemostatic plug formation at a site of vascular
injury.
• Thrombosis
– Pathologic opposite to hemostasis.
– Inappropriate activation of normal hemostatic
process:
• Clot(thrombus) in uninjured vessel
• Thrombotic occlusion of a vessel after minor injury

21. CONT..
• Both hemostasis and thrombosis depends on 3
components:
1.Vascular wall
2.Platelet
3.Coagulation cascade

22. Normal hemostasis
1.Sequence of events at sites of vascular injury:
1. Arteriolar vasoconstriction
2. Primary hemostasis(platelet plug)
3. Secondary hemostasis – fibrin deposition
4. Permanent plug
• Polymerized fibrin and platelet aggregate
5. Counter regulatory response
• Restricts hemostatic plug at site of injury
• Tissue plasminogen activator

24. ENDOTHELIUM
• Antithrombotic and prothrombotic properties.
• The balance b/n antithrombotic and
prothrombotic activities determines whether
thrombus formation, propagation or dissolution
occurs.
• Intact endothelium – antithrombotic
• Injury or activation – prothrombotic
– Hemodynamic factors, cytokines, infectious agents

25. Antithrombotic properties
• Antiplatelet
1.Endothelial plasma membrane
2.Prostacyclin(PGI2)
3.Nitric oxide
4.Adenosine diphosphatase
• Anticoagulant
1.Membrane associated heparin-like molecules
2.Thrombomodulin – thrombin receptor

26. Cont…
• Fibrinolytic
1.Tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA)
2.Clear fibrin deposits

27. Prothrombotic properties
1.Platelet adhesion
– Exposure of ECM components
– Von willebrand factor(vWF)
2.Procoagulant
– Synthesis of tissue factor
– Augmentation of effects of clotting factors
• IXa , Xa
3.Antifibrinolytic
– Inhibitors of plasminogen activator(PAIs)

28. 2.PLATELETS
• The interplay of PGI2 and TXA2 constitutes an
exquisitely balanced mechanism for modulating
human platelet function:
– in the normal state, it prevents intravascular platelet
aggregation, but
– after endothelial injury it favors the formation of
hemostatic plugs.
• The clinical use of aspirin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor)
in patients at risk for coronary thrombosis is related
to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of TXA2.

29. 3.COAGULATION CASCADE
• 3rd component of hemostatic process.
• Major contributor to thrombosis.
• Once activated the coagulation cascade must be
restricted to the site of vascular injury.

30. Cont…
• Clotting is regulated by 3 anticoagulants:
1. Antithrombin III
• Activated by heparin-like molecules
• Inhibit thrombin, IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa,
2. Protein c and s
• Inactivates factors Va and VIIIa.
• Protein c is activated by thrombomodulin
3. Plasmin
• Derived from serum plasminogen
• Inhibit fibrin polymerization
• Degrade fibrin to fibrin degradative products

31. THROMBOSIS
• Definition: The formation of a solid or semisolid mass
from the constituents of the blood within the vascular
system during life.
PATHOGENESIS:
• Three predisposing factors for thrombus formation (
virchow’s triad)

Causes:
1. Septic shock-commonest
2. Neurogenic shock-in anesthetic procedure, in spinal cord injury
-owing to loss of vascular tone &peripheral pooling of blood.
3. Anaphylactic shock
• -by generalized Ige mediated hypersensitivity response, associated
with systemic vasodilatation &increased vascular permeability.

69. 4. Endocrine shock
-typically occurs in adrenal insufficiency

70. Aspects of sepsis(terms):
• Bacteremia-presence of viable bacteria in the blood
as evidenced by blood culture.
• Septicemia- presence of microbes or their toxin in
the blood.
• SIRS – two or more of the following conditions
– Fever or hypothermia
– Tachypnea(>24/min)
– Tachycardia(>90/min)
– Leucocytosis or leucopenia

71. Cont…
• Sepsis – SIRS with proven or suspected microbial
etiology.
• Septic shock – sepsis with hypotension(arterial
blood pressure <90 mmHg systolic, or 40 mmHg
less than patient's normal blood pressure) for at
least 1 h despite adequate fluid resuscitation.

72. SEPTIC SHOCK
• Can be defined as: sepsis+ hypotension+ organ
dysfunction &unresponsive to fluid
administration.
• kind of shock by microbial infection by G-ve-most
common (endotoxic shock)
• can also occur in G+ve or fungal infections

73. Stages of Shock
Shock is a progressive disorder that if uncorrected leads to death.
• shock tends to evolve through three stages.
• These stages have been documented most clearly in
hypovolemic shock but are common to other forms as well:
1. An initial nonprogressive stage during which reflex
compensatory mechanisms are activated and perfusion of vital
organs is maintained .
2. A progressive stage characterized by tissue hypoperfusion and
onset of worsening circulatory and metabolic imbalances .
3. An irreversible stage that sets in after the body has incurred
cellular and tissue injury so severe that even if the
hemodynamic defects are corrected, survival is not possible.

74. 1.In the early nonprogressive phase of shock,
various neurohumoral mechanisms help maintain
cardiac output and blood pressure.
• Neurohumoral mechanisms:
– baroreceptor reflexes,
– release of catecholamines,
– activation of the renin-angiotensin axis,
– antidiuretic hormone release, and
– generalized sympathetic stimulation.

75. • The net effect is tachycardia, peripheral
vasoconstriction, and renal conservation of fluid.
• Cutaneous vasoconstriction is responsible for
the characteristic coolness and pallor of skin in
shock (although septic shock may initially cause
cutaneous vasodilation and thus present with
warm, flushed skin).
• Coronary and cerebral vessels are less sensitive
to the sympathetic response and thus maintain
relatively normal caliber, blood flow, and oxygen
delivery to their respective vital organs.

76. 2.the progressive phase
• the progressive phase, during which there is
widespread tissue hypoxia.
• In the setting of persistent oxygen deficit,
intracellular aerobic respiration is replaced by
anaerobic glycolysis with excessive production of
lactic acid.
• The resultant metabolic lactic acidosis lowers the
tissue pH and blunts the vasomotor response;
arterioles dilate, and blood begins to pool in the
microcirculation.

77. • Peripheral pooling not only worsens the
cardiac output but also puts endothelial cells
at risk of developing anoxic injury with
subsequent DIC.
• With widespread tissue hypoxia, vital organs
are affected and begin to fail;
• clinically, the patient may become confused,
and the urinary output declines.

78. an irreversible stage.
– Widespread cell injury is reflected in lysosomal
enzyme leakage, further aggravating the shock state.
– Myocardial contractile function worsens, in part
because of nitric oxide synthesis.
– If ischemic bowel allows intestinal flora to enter the
circulation, endotoxic shock may also be
superimposed.
– At this point, the patient has complete renal shutdown
due to acute tubular necrosis and, despite heroic
measures, the downward clinical spiral almost
inevitably culminates in death.
