non-provoking
Generation of thrombus, typically in lower extremity proximal deep veins
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) travels to lungs
DVT occludes pulmonary arteries and/or arterioles
Low perfusion in pulmonary vasculature and parenchyma
Congestion in pulmonary vascular beds
Hypoxia induces increased pulmonary vascular resistance
↓ LV preload +
↑ RV overload:
↓ stroke volume,
↓ cardiac output
Hypotension
Activates baroreceptors → adrenergic response
Tachycardia
Lung tissue ischemia and infarction
Inflammatory mediators
Pulmonary edema
Pleuritic irritation
Pain receptors in parietal pleura transmit afferent signal via phrenic and intercostal nerves → spinal cord → spinothalamic tract → thalamus → cerebral cortex
Pleuritic chest pain
Chemo- and mechanosensory receptors lining airway activated
Mucus secretion
Efferent signals to diaphragm, pharynx, intercostal, and neck muscles
Cough
Ventilation perfusion mismatch
↓ pH,
↑ pCO2,
↓ PaO2
Hypoxemia
Peripheral sensory receptors detect hypoxia → CNS centers drive activation of respiratory system → increased work of breathing
Dyspnea
Blood flow physiology
Nervous system physiology
Cellular physiology
Signs / symptoms
Thank you
U have different methods of explaining and that's unique ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just lovely, it makes a lot of sense now. Thank you very much.
This Flowchart method is really effective, Thanks.
