Hemodynamic Disorders
Hemodynamic Disorders
1. A patient who was having difficulty in breathing was found to have fluid in his
pleural cavity. Fluid analysis revealed a protein content of 3.5 gm/dl and a specific gravity
of 1.021. This type of fluid will be labeled as
A. Edema
B. Transudate
C. Exudate
D. Serum
3. A 54-year old man develops congestive heart failure due to myocardial infarction.
Consequently, he develops ascites and swelling of legs. Manifestations of edema in his
case are due to
4. A 60-year-old man is confined to bed due to fracture of the hipbone. In his case,
which of the following factors is likely to increase risk of pulmonary embolism?
5. A 30-year-old man developed acute pain in abdomen and on operation was found
to have ruptured appendix. His postoperative course was characterized by fall in blood
pressure and multiple organ failure that lead to his eventual demise. Clinically his death
was attributed to development of irreversible septic shock. In this case shock is caused due
to
6. Anasarca (generalized edema) will be seen in all of the following conditions EXCEPT:
a) Deep vein thrombosis
b) Kwashiorkor.
c) Nephrotic syndrome.
d) Right ventricular failure.
7. Which of the following types of edema is seen most commonly in dependent parts of the
body, mainly the legs
a) Hypoalbuminemic
b) Subcutaneous
c) Venous
d) Lymphatic
e) Inflammatory
If hydrostatic pressure in venous system exceeds plasma oncotic pressure, it will lead to
a) Angina pectoris
b) Edema
c) Infarction
d) Hypertension
Tissues affected by which of the following types of edema will also show features like pain and
redness?
a) Hypoproteinemic
b) Venous
c) Lymphatic
d) Inflammatory
In conditions like, protein calorie malnutrition, liver failure, nephrotic syndrome, and protein-losing
enteropathy, the cause of edema is
a) Lymphatic obstruction
b) Increased hydrostatic pressure
c) Increased capillary permeability
d) Hypoalbuminemia
Increased incidence of thrombosis may be seen in all of the flowing conditions except

A 60-year-old man is confined to bed due to fracture of the hipbone. In his case, which of
the following factors is likely to increase risk of pulmonary embolism?
A 30-year-old man developed acute pain in abdomen and on operation was found to have ruptured
appendix. His postoperative course was characterized by fall in blood pressure and multiple organ
failure that lead to his eventual demise. Clinically his death was attributed to development of
irreversible septic shock. In this case shock is caused due to
a) Massive release of toxins that actually represent lipopolysaccharides from bacterial cell
wall.
b) Toxins released from neutrophils
c) Loss of large amount of blood
d) Development of myocardial infarction.
