| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| (Oral antiplatelets)The inhibition of prostaglandins observe with aspirin also poses a risk for ? | GI irritation or bleeding |
| Concerns with aspirin use? | potential to trigger bronchoconstriction in a client with asthma, and renal insufficiency, for clients with preexisting renal impairment. |
| discard aspirin if? | It has a strong vinergar-like odor. |
| Clopidogrel | (Plavix) 70mg PO daily. For prophylaxis of MI, thromboembolic stroke and vascular death.slighty more effective than aspirin in treatment of CHD and secondary prevention of MI. |
| Clopidogrel Drug interactions | Use od NSAIDs may increase risk for GI bleeding. |
| Dipyridamole | (Persantine) developed as a coronary artery vasodilator. |
| Dipyridamole Indication | prevention of postsurgicalthromboembolic complications after cardiac valve replacement. |
| Dypyridamole Adverse Effects | hypotension. |
| Dypyridamole drug interaction | Concurrent use of antiplatelets or anticoagulants may increase bleeding risk. |
| Ticlopidine | (Ticlid) decreases the risk of stroke for clients who have had warning of a thrombotic storke or for those who have had a thrombotic stroke. Should be limited to clients who have not respondedto or tolerated other antiplatelet therapy. |
| Ticlopidine | Concurrent use with NSAIDs will increase bleeding. |
| Ticlopidine Nursing Dx | potential complications of hemorrhage neutropenia, thrombocytopenia. |
| Ticlopidine Implementation | monitor the CBC every 2 weeks until the third month of therapy.Monitor more frequently if the neutrophil count is declining or is 30% |
| Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors | These IV agents are strong antiplatelets agents reserved for acute coronary events in part because of their higher risk for bleeding. |
| Abciximab | (ReoPro) adjunct therapy to aspirin and heparin for prevention of acute cardiac vessel ischemic complications in clients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or atherectomy (PTCA). |
| Abciximab Pharmacokinetics and Adverse effects | binds to platelets and produces its antiplatelet action. Major bleeding and hypotension are adverse effects. |
| Eptifibatide | (Integrilin) platelet activity returning to normal within 4 hrs of discontinuation of the infusion. |
| Tirofiban | aggrastat |
| Agatroban | is a thrombin inhibitor used to treat thromboembolic events in clients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. |
| Normal PTT | 21-35 seconds, goal ranges with anticoagulation: 1.5 to 2.5 times the normal lab value. |
| ACT | Bedside procedure |
| Normal PT | 11 to 13 seconds. |
| INR | Target INR for prevention and treatment of most thromboembolic events 2.5 (range 2 to 3). For individuals with recurrent systemic emboli or mechanical heart valves, goal INR may be as high as 3 (range 2.5 to 3.5) |
| Agatroban (Acova) | Prophylaxis or treatment of thromboembolic events in clients with HIT. |
| Heparin (UFH) |
