Mastering Edema & Clinical Correlates Part 1:

What’s discussed in this video?

• What is Edema?

• Normal distribution of water in the human body.

• Intracellular edema Vs Extracellular edema.

• Difference between congestion and hyperemia.

• Causes of intracellular edema.

Mastering Edema & Clinical Correlates Part 2:

What’s discussed in this video?

• Normal mechanism of fluid exchange between the vascular compartment and interstitial spaces.

• What can cause Edema in interstitial tissue?

• Hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure role in the fluid exchange.

• How can an increase in hydrostatic pressure cause edema?

• The role of decreased oncotic pressure in the development of interstitial edema.

• Edema caused by impaired lymphatic drainage. (Brief mechanism).

• Pitting VS non-pitting edema.

• What is dependent edema?

• Role of glycoprotein in interstitial space.

• Edema due to increased permeability of microcirculation.

• Salt and water retention role in developing edema.

What’s discussed in this video?

The role of increased hydrostatic pressure.

• Normal hydrostatic pressure.

• Regulation of hydrostatic pressure in capillaries.

• Venous system congestion effect on hydrostatic pressure.

• Causes of arterial dilatation due to heat and neurohumoral dysregulation.

• Causes of venous system congestion leading to edema.

• External pressure on the vein.

• Thrombosis. (DVT).

• Dependent Edema.

• The difference between platelet adhesion, platelet plug, platelet aggregation, embolus, and thrombosis.
