  1. Watershed area (medical)

    Watershed area is the medical term referring to regions of the body that receive dual blood supply from the most distal branches of two large arteries, such as the splenic flexure of the large intestine . ref First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, 2010 Edition, p.305 ref During times of blockage of one of the arteries that supply the watershed area, such as in atherosclerosis , these regions are spared from ischemia by virtue of their dual supply. However, during times of systemic hypoperfusion, such as in disseminated intravascular coagulation or Heart failure , these regions are particularly vulnerable to ischemia by virtue of the fact that they are supplied by the most distal branches of their arteries, and thus the least likely to receive sufficient blood. When watershed stroke occurs in the brain, it produces unique focal neurologic symptoms that aid clinicians in diagnosis and localization. Hypoperfusion in watershed areas can lead to Mural and Mucosal infarction in the case of Ischemic Bowel Disease.

This is a segmental dysfunction which persists for a variable period of time, about two weeks, even after ischemia has been relieved by for instance angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery . In this situation, while myocardial blood flow MBF returns to normal, function is still depressed for a variable period of time. Myocardial stunning is the reversible reduction of function of Cardiac cycle heart contraction ref MeshName Myocardial Stunning ref after reperfusion not accounted for by tissue damage or reduced blood flow. ref name pmid11255859 cite journal author Grund F title Three cardiac mysteries stunning, hibernation and ischemic preconditioning language Norwegian journal Tidsskr.

At this point, the lack of the energy and Lactic acid lactate accumulation results in cessation of contraction within 60 seconds of ischemia i.e. Vessel Occlusion . Subsequent to this is a period of myocardial stunning, in which reversible ischemic damage is taking place. At approximately 30 minutes after the onset of total ischemia the damage becomes irreversible, thereby ending the phase of myocardial stunning.

  1. Aortic cross-clamp

    An aortic cross clamp is a surgical instrument used in cardiac surgery to clamp the aorta and separate the systemic circulation from the outflow of the heart . An aortic cross clamping procedure serves, for example, in the repairing of Coarctation of the aorta coarctation of the aorta. In newborns, the treatment of choice for this condition is resection and primary anastomosis . The clamping of the aorta excludes the systemic circulation, by definition, thus causing an ischemia. When a long cross clamping period longer than 25 min or a drop in distal aortic pressure below 50 60 mmHg is anticipated, the use of an intraoperative shunt may prevent complications such as paraplegia . ref Schwartz s principles of surgery self assessment and board review, 8th edition, chapter 19 question 5, chapter 21 question 17 ref DEFAULTSORT Aortic Cross Clamp Category Medical clamps medical equipment stub Surgical instruments reflist ...   more details
