When the lymphatic system is unable to carry off the excess proteins and water, they leak into the peritoneal cavity. The osmotic pressure of the proteins pulls additional fluid into the peritoneal cavity (Table 43-10). · A second mechanism of _______ formation is hypoalbuminemia resulting from the liver's decreased ability to synthesize albumin. The hypoalbuminemia results in decreased colloidal oncotic pressure. · A third mechanism of ascites is hyperaldosteronism, which occurs when the hormone aldosterone is metabolized by damaged hepatocytes.

compression

The electrical impulse normally begins in the SA node (pacemaker of the heart). Each impulse coming down from the SA node travels through interartrial pathways to depolarize the atria, resulting in a contraction. The electrical impulse travels from the atria to the AV node through internodal pathways. The signal then moves through the bundle of His and the L and R bundle branches. The L bundle branch has 2 fascicles (divisions): anterior and posterior. The action potential moves through the walls of both ventricles by means of Purkinje fibers. The ventricular conduction system delivers the impulse within 0.12 seconds. This triggers a synchronized R and L ventricular contraction and ejection of blood into the pulmonary and systemic circulations

gerontologic

The following are _______ considerations of HTN: • Incidence increases with age • "White coat HTN" • Pathology o arterial elasticity, myocardial stiffness, peripheral vascular resistance, receptor sensitivity, renal function, renin - Na - H2O functions • Orthostatic hypotension o Impaired baroreceptors, volume depletion, chronic renal or hepatic diseases • Insulin Resistance and Hyperinsulinemia o Defects in glucose, insulin, and lipoprotein metabolism are common in primary hypertension. These defects are not present in secondary hypertension and do not improve when primary hypertension is treated. Insulin resistance is a risk factor in the development of hypertension and CVD. High insulin levels stimulate SNS activity and impair Nitric Oxide-mediated vasodilation. Additional pressor effects of insulin include vascular hypertrophy and increased renal sodium reabsorption. • Endothelium Dysfunction o Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as a marker for CVD including primary hypertension. o Hypertension can present as a prolonged vasoconstriction response or as a reduced vasodilator response. o Prolonged vasoconstriction may be caused by high levels of endothelin (ET). o Vasodilation effects can be altered by oxygen free radicals, which impair the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). o This leads to cellular dysfunction and an imbalance of the vasodilation and vasoconstriction mechanisms in the endothelium.

surgical therapy

What treatment plan for VTE is described below: thrombectomy, vena cava interruption devices (filters) Venous thrombectomy involves the removal of a thrombus through an incision in the vein. Anticoagulant therapy is recommended after venous thrombectomy Vena cava interruption devices (EX: Greenfield Filter) can be placed percutaneously through the R femoral or R internal jugular veins. The filter device is opened and the spokes penetrate the vessel walls. The filter acts as a "sieve-type" device, permitting filtration of clots without interruption of blood flow. Complications aftr the insertion are rare but include air embolism, improper placement, migration of the filter, and perforation of the vena cava. Over time, clots can clog the filter and completely block the vena cava, requiring filter removal and replacement.

left ventricular (LV) ______ failure is also known as heart failure reduced ejection fraction or HRrEF this type of HF results from an inability of the heart to pump blood effectively the hallmark of _______ failure is a decrease in the EF, Normal EF is 55-60%. Patients with HRrEF generally have an EF less than 45%. It can be as low as 5-10%. HRrEF is caused by impaired contractile function (EX: MI), increased overload (Ex: hypertension), cardiomyopathy, and mechanical abnormalities (EX: valvular heart disease) The LV in systolic failure loses its ability to generate enough pressure to eject blood forward through the aorta. Over time, the LV becomes dilated and hypertrophied. The weakened heart muscle cannot generate adequate stroke volume, which affects CO. Because the LV cannot adequately push blood forward, end diastolic volumes and pressures in the LV increase. When the LV fails, blood backs up into the left atrium. This causes fluid accumulation in the lungs. The increased pulmonary hydrostatic pressure causes fluid leakage from the pulmonary capillary bed into the interstitium and then the alveoli. This results in pulmonary congestion and edema.

HIT is an immune reaction to heparin. It causes a severe sudden reduction in the platelet count along with a paradoxical increase in venous or arterial thrombosis. HIT is diagnosed by measuring the presence of heparin antibodies in the blood. Treatment requires immediately stopping heparin therapy, and if further anticoagulation is required, using a non-heparin anticoagulant. • Another side effect of heparin use is osteoporosis

The following describes the _______ response to inflammation: After cell injury, arterioles briefly undergo transient vasoconstriction. After release of histamine and other chemicals by the injured cells, the vessels dilate. Chemical mediators cause increased capillary permeability and facilitate fluid movement from capillaries into tissues spaces. Initially composed of serous fluid, this inflammatory exudate later contains plasma proteins, primarily albumin. These proteins exert oncotic pressure that further draws fluid from blood vessels. Both vasodilation and increased capillary permeability are responsible for redness, heat, and swelling at the site of injury and the surrounding area. As the plasma protein fibrinogen leaves the blood, it is activated to fibrin by the products of the injured cells. fibrin strengthens a blood clot formed by platelets. in tissues, the clot functions to trap bacteria, prevent their spread, and serve as a framework for the healing process. Platelets release growth factors that start the healing process.
