PTE Lymphedema-Edema
blood cap pressure colloid osmotic plasma pressure interstitial pressure colloid osmotic intersititial pressure
4 physiologic forces related to capillary equilibrium
lipedema
a chronic abnormal condition that is characterized by the accumulation of fat and fluid in the tissues just under the skin of the hips and legs
chronic venous insufficiency
a condition in which venous circulation is inadequate due to partial vein blockage or leakage of venous valves
ascites
abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen
superficial lymphatics
absorptive structures of subepidermal tissue
passive hyperemia
accumulation of blood in a part due to venous obstruction is called
tumor or clot
an unexplained unilat limb swelling is what until proven otherwise
deep vein thrombosis
blood clot forms in a large vein, usually in a lower limb
perometry
computer generated calculated volume from limb contour
surgical site
during of post-surgical edema/trauma depends on...
symtpom disease
edemia is a _______ lymphedema is a ______
ultrafiltration
forces additional water out of blood into interstitium
RECYCLE proteins immune surveill fat transport
functions of lymphatic system
use of landmarks
how are circumferential measurment kept consistent
active hyperemia
increased blood flow in response to increased metabolic activity
pitting edema
indentation left after examiner depresses the skin over swollen edematous tissue
skin care manual lymphatic drainage compressive bandaging remedial exercises
interventions of the activate phase of complete decongestive therapy
bioimpedance
measure of free fluid in soft tissue using voltage current
circumferential measurements
most effective current method for measuring edema
albumin
peripheral edema may be caused by malnutrition causing low levels of what
disease trauma to lymphatics
primary lymphadema is due to... secondary is due to...
regional nodes neck, mesentery, roots of limbs
superficial lymphatics lead back to... where are they concentrated
anasarca
total body swelling
medical management of illness that caused edema
treatment of edemas
do not mobilize proteins
why are pumps not a good Tx for lymphedema
contraindication to water submersion limb may not fit
why is volumetry not the best edema measurment style
fibrosis
why might pitting not work for later stage lymphedema
