venous stasis

stasis /sta·sis/ (sta´sis)

1. a stoppage or diminution of flow, as of blood or other body fluid.

2. a state of equilibrium among opposing forces.stat´ic

intestinal stasis impairment of the normal passage of intestinal contents, due to mechanical obstruction or to impaired intestinal motility.

urinary stasis stoppage of the flow or discharge of urine, at any level of the urinary tract.

venous stasis impairment or cessation of venous flow.

venous stasis,

a disorder in which the normal flow of blood through a vein is slowed or halted.

stasis [sta´sis]

a stoppage or diminution of flow, as of blood or other body fluid, or of intestinal contents.

stasis syndrome overgrowth of bacteria within the small intestine resulting from a variety of conditions causing stasis, particularly disturbances to intestinal motility or decreased acid secretion, but also structural abnormalities such as diverticula, fistulae between the colon and upper bowel, or chronic obstruction; it is characterized by malabsorption of vitamin B₁₂, steatorrhea, and anemia.

venous stasis cessation or impairment of venous flow, such as with venous insufficiency; see also stasis ulcer. Called also phlebostasis and venostasis.

venous stasis

Medtalk The pooling of venous blood in a particular region which, in the legs results in edema, hyperpigmentation and possibly ulceration
