Term
how does heparin work
Definition
Forms a complex with Antithrombin III allowing inhibition of factor X and thrombin
Term
whats unique in regards to the half life of heparin
Definition
half life is dose dependent
Term
what are the two coagulation tests when assessing for someone on heparin
Definition
aPTT and ACT
Term
if a patient is resistant to heparin therapy perhaps due to previous exposure to heparin then you can manage by what three things
Definition
1. increase heparin dose
2. change from porcine to bovine heparin
3. administer recombinant antithormbin III
Term
what is the triad of HIT
Definition
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
1. thrombocytopenia
2. heparin resistance
3. thrombus formation
Term
who are the three pts that you should be very careful with and may not give protamine to
Definition
1. fish allergy
2. on NPH
3. vastectomy
Term
lovenox acts on
Definition

1. enhancing Antithrombin III acitivty

2. directly inhibiting factor Xa

 

Term
if a patient is on lovenox how long must they be off of it till they can get surgery
Definition
AT LEAST 12 hours since that is how long duration is
Term
name the vitamin K dependent factors
Definition
1. II
2. VII
3. IX
4. X
5. Protein C
6. Protein S
Term
how long after giving Vitamin K will it help reverse coumadin
Definition
24 hours
Term
leech saliva acts as a ___ Drug
Definition
thormbin inhibitor
Term
dabagtriban MOA is
Definition
binds and blocks active site of thrombin
Term
rivaroxaban acts on?
Definition

Factor Xa inhibitor

 

Rivaroxaban aka Xarelto

Term
name two fibrinolysis inhibitors
Definition
1. amicar
2. TXA
Term
what common drug inhibits thormboxane synthesis
Definition
ASPIRIN
Term
which antiplatelet works by blocking ADP receptors on platelet surface
Definition
Ticlid and plavix
Term
most common cause of platelet defect is due to what
Definition
ihibition of platelet cyclooxygenase activity by ASA or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory NSAIDs.
Term
how long are platelets inactivated by ASA
Definition
IRREVERSIBLY inactivates cyclooxygenase for the life of the platelet (7-12 days)
Term
how long do NSAIDs inactivate platelets
Definition
NSAIDs unlike ASA reversibly inactivate cyclooxygenase for 24-96 hours.
Term
what clotting factors are synthesized by the liver
Definition
ALL FACTORS except:
1. vWF
2. Calcium
3. Tissue factor (Factor III, thormboplastin)
Term
Factor VIII is composed of?
Definition
1. VIII: C
AND
2. VIII: vWF
Term
what is GPIIb/IIIa?
Definition

GPIIb/IIIa is a platelet glycoprotein which binds when activated to circulating fibrinogen and promotes platelet aggregation that leads to a platelet plug.

 

Antiplatelets that target GPIIb/IIIa are: 

1. Aggrastat

2. Integrillin

3. Abciximab

Term
what is the function of protein C in hemostasis? What are the mechanisms of protein C action?
Definition
1. Protein C is a vitamin K dependent anticoagulant
2. Protein C is activated by Thrombin
3. Protein C promotes finbrinolysis (clot breakdown)
4. Cleaves Factor Va and VIIa which allows for anticoagulation
Term
what substance breaks down fibrin
Definition
plasmin
Term
FFP contains what clotting factors
Definition
all clotting factors except platelets
Term
prothrombin time is increased when what percentage of clotting factors has been reduced
Definition
when clotting factors are at 20-30% normal then you will see a change in PT
Term
dosing for FFP for coumadin reversal is
Definition
5-8 mL / kg
Term
what coagulation factors are found in cryoprecipitate
Definition
1. VIII:C
2. VIII: vWF
3. Fibrinogen (Highly concentrated amount)
Term
a patient with fibrinogen deficiency should be treated with what
Definition
cyropreciptate since it is highly concnetrated in fibrinogen
Term
most common inherited bleeding disorder is
Definition
Von Willebrand's Disease
Term
two actions of vWF
Definition
1. Anchors platelets to endothelium
2. activates VIII: C
Term
what drug can raise vWF in some paitents with vWF disease
Definition
Desmopressin (DDAVP)
Term
what do fibrin split products assess
Definition
FSP assess how fast fibrin or fibrinogen is breaking down
Term
Hemophilia A involves deficiency of

ACT monitors intrinsic or extrinsic pathway
Definition
intrinsic
Term
normal ACT is
Definition
90-120 seconds
Term
an ACT > _____ suggests complete heparinization
Definition
ACT > 400 seconds suggests complete heparinization
Term
coumadin assessed with what coagulation test
Definition
INR and PT
Term
what is the INR
Definition
INR stands for international normalized ratio of the a patients PT to a control PT obtained by a standard method.
Term
normal thormbin time is
Definition
9-11 seconds
Term
spontaneous bleeding can occur when platelet count is < ____
Definition
platelet count < 20,000 you may see spontaneous bleeding
