Yes, a hematoma can cause necrosis of the tissue beneath it if the accumulation of blood exerts pressure on surrounding structures, compromising blood flow. This pressure can lead to ischemia, depriving the affected tissues of oxygen and nutrients necessary for survival. If the ischemia persists, it can result in tissue death or necrosis. Prompt medical intervention is often necessary to relieve pressure and restore circulation to prevent such complications.

Why noradrenaline need to be given via central line?
Extravasation can cause tissue necrosis.
How long in hypoxia before vascular necrosis of tissue?
The duration of hypoxia needed to cause vascular necrosis of tissue can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the hypoxia, the specific tissue involved, and the individual's overall health. In severe cases, irreversible damage can occur within minutes to hours of oxygen deprivation. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if hypoxia is suspected to prevent tissue necrosis.
Does ear hematoma spread from cat to cat?
No, but the cause of a hematoma can spread from cat to cat depending on what that cause is.
What is the difference between coagulative and liquefactive necrosis?
Liquefactive necrosis is good for your body, especially your brain (due to the beneficial liquids produced) but coagulative necrosis is bad due to the clumping and coagulation (i.e. clotting) that occurs.Coagulation necrosis is the "acute" necrosis in which the protein fibers become denatured and everything turns into a semi-solid mess of dead tissue. Liquefactive necrosis is a more "chronic" necrosis in which the dead tissue is digested into a liquid which can then be removed by the macrophages.
Which can cause tissue damage. Acid or bases?
Both acids and bases can cause tissue damage. Acids typically denature proteins and cause coagulation of tissues, while bases can lead to liquefactive necrosis and saponification of fats in the tissues. The extent of tissue damage depends on the concentration, duration of exposure, and specific pH of the acid or base.
Will potassium cause tissue necrosis if given IV Push?
If given in a concentration over 40mEq/l per peripheral line, or over 20mEq/100ml by central line, KCl can be sufficiently injurious as to cause phlebitis or even necrosis, especially if the solution infiltrates outside the vessel.
Can dehydration cause subdural hematoma?
no
Can cutting toenails cause subungal hematoma?
Generally not. A subungal hematoma is a bruise. It is usually caused by hitting the toe.
Why does flesh rot?
Lack of proper circulation is the primary cause of necrosis (tissue death) or decompostion (rotting). [[User:Cjonb|Cjonb]] 19:07, 2 Jun 2008 (UTC)
Is oxaliplatin an irritant or vesicant?
Oxaliplatin is an irritant, meaning it can cause inflammation and discomfort when it comes into contact with the skin or veins. It is not classified as a vesicant, which refers to substances that can cause blistering or tissue necrosis if they leak into surrounding tissues.
What happen when you give intramuscular injection in the wrong place?
A medication meant for intramuscular injection can destroy tissues if given subcutaneously. It can cause abscess, tissue breakdown, infection, and even necrosis.
What can cause necrosis and what does necrosis look like?
Necrosis can be caused by external or internal factors. External factors include blood vessels damage, mechanical trauma, and ischemia. Extremely high or low temperature can cause disruption of cells, which may result in necrosis. Internal factors like trophoneurotic disorder, pancreatic enzymes, injury and paralysis of nerve cells can also cause necrosis. Sometimes steroids can also cause necrosis.
