Hemodynamic Disorders
The study of the blood flow is called hemodynamics.
Thus hemodynamics deals with the dynamics of blood flow.
The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms, much
as hydraulic circuits and are controlled by control systems.
Hemodynamic response continuously monitors and adjusts to conditions
in the body and its environment. Thus hemodynamics explains
the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels.
Blood flow ensures the transportation of nutrients, hormones,
metabolic wastes, O2 and CO2 throughout the body to maintain cell-
level metabolism, the regulation of the pH, osmotic pressure and
temperature of the whole body, and the protection from microbial
and mechanical harms.
 Edema (increased fluid in the ECF)
 Hyperemia (INCREASED flow)
 Congestion (INCREASED backup)
 Hemorrhage (extravasation)
 Hemostasis (keeping blood as a fluid)
 Thrombosis (clotting blood)
 Embolism (downstream travel of a clot)
 Infarction (death of tissues w/o blood)
 Shock (circulatory failure/collapse)

(Extravasation is when a chemotherapy medication or other drug leaks outside the vein
onto or into the skin, causing a reaction. In chemotherapy, drugs are classified into two
broad categories based on the effect they have on tissues when they extravasate—irritants
and vesicants). The leakage of blood, lymph, or other fluid, such as an anticancer drug, from
a blood vessel or tube into the tissue around it. It is also used to describe the movement of
cells out of a blood vessel into tissue during inflammation or metastasis (the spread of
cancer).

SHOCK
a sudden upsetting or surprising event or experience.
an acute medical condition associated with a fall in blood pressure,
caused by such events as loss of blood, severe burns, allergic reaction, or
sudden emotional stress, and marked by cold, pallid skin, irregular
breathing, rapid pulse, and dilated pupils.
"he died of shock due to massive abdominal haemorrhage"
synonyms:trauma, a state of
shock, traumatism, prostration, stupor, stupefaction, collapse, breakdown"
she was taken to hospital suffering from shock after the accident"
The typical signs of shock are low blood pressure, rapid heart rate,
signs of poor end-organ perfusion (e.g., low urine output, confusion, or
loss of consciousness), and weak pulses. ... Circulatory shock is not
related to the emotional state of shock
Shock is a life-threatening condition in which delivery
of oxygen to the organs is
low, causing organ damage and sometimes death.
Blood pressure is usually low. Shock has several causes: Low blood volume,
inadequate pumping action
of the heart, or excessive widening (dilation) ofblood vessels.
Flowchart of initial management of traumatic hemorrhagic shock.
In the acute phase of traumatic hemorrhagic shock, the therapeutic priority is to stop
the bleeding. As long as this bleeding is not controlled, the physician must manage
fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, and blood transfusion to prevent or treat acute
coagulopathy of trauma.
Resuscitative strategies in traumatic hemorrhagic
shock

SAP, systolic arterial
pressure;
TBI, trauma brain

Hb, hemoglobin;
PT, prothrombin time;
