antiplatelets and anticoagulants

QuestionAnswer
thrombus formation clot formation
thrombin the link between tissue injury, coagulation, and platelet response critical mediator in coagulation elicits multiple responses in platelets and other cells
thrombin aka factor 2 activated others
platelet aggregation clots clumped together
fibrin the backbone of a clot
plug helps to stop bleeding
resting platelet adheres to site of tissue damage
coagulation cascade activation of proteins in the liver, produces things that help us clot
thrombus immobile clot
embolus drifting blood clot
embolism blockage due to embolus
thrombosis can occur... in any artery, vein, heart chamber, heart valve
thrombosis leads to... DVT, PE, MI, cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
oral antiplatelets aspirin , ASA(blood thinner) P2Y12 inhibitor phosphodiesterase type-3 (PDE-3) inhibitors
oral antiplatelets: P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel prasugrel ticagrelor
oral antiplatelets: phosphodiesterase type-3 (PDE-3) inhibitors cilostazol dipyridamole (may be used in combo with low dose ASA)
parenteral antiplatelets IV P2Y12 inhibitor Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors
parenteral antiplatelets: IV P2Y12 inhibitors cangrelor
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors eptifibatide tirofiban
indication for antiplatelets ASCVD (secondary and primary prevention) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) acute ischemic stroke
aspirin mechanism inhibits COX-1 enzyme leading to less thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-mediated platelet activation
aspirin indications to treat CAD PAD ACS percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) acute ischemic stroke
aspirin adverse effects bleeding rash GI effects
P2Y12 inhibitors mechanism inhibits ADP from binding to P2Y12 receptor leading to anti-platelet effect
P2Y12 inhibitors indications for treatment cardiovascular (ACS, PCI), neurovascular (acute ischemic stroke), and peripheral vascular used in addition to ASA as "duel therapy"
P2Y12 inhibitors adverse effects -bleeding (prasugrel and ticagrelor are more potent than clopidogrel)... inc risk of bad outcomes -dyspnea, bradycardia (ticagrelor)
oral anticoagulants warfarin direct thrombin inhibitors: dabigatran selective factor Xa inhibitors
selective factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban apixaban edoxaban
direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) direct thrombin inhibitors selective factor Xa inhibitors -they don't require a cofactor to bind first
parenteral anticoagulants heparin selective factor Xa inhibitors (injectables) direct thrombin inhibitors
parenteral anticoagulants heparin unfractionated heparin (UFH) low-molecular weight heparins (LMWHs): -enoxaparin -dalteparin
parenteral anticoagulants selective factor Xa inhibitors (injectables) examples fondaparinux
parenteral anticoagulants direct thrombin inhibitors argatroban bivaliruden used often if cannot take heparin (allergy)
indication for anticoagulation prevention and treatment of thromboembolism venous thrombolism (VTE) ->DVT or PE pulmonary embolism ACS severe LV systolic dysfunction heart valve replacement atrial arrhythmia (Afib, atrial flutter) thrombophilia ("hyper-coagulable state") malignancy
indication for anticoagulation heart valve replacement mechanical valve? = metal foreign body triggers clotting cascade
indication for anticoagulation thrombophilia predisposed, genetic (ex factor X)
indication for anticoagulation malignancy cancer will cause clotting
warfarin mechanism vitamin K antagonist (VKA) inhibits VKORC1 (protein in liver) which is responsible for activation of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (III, VII, IX, X) and protein C and S
warfarin adverse effects/ monitoring bleeding (PT/INR) skin necrosis (many small clots) purple toe syndrome
PT lab prothrombin time
INR lab international normalized ratio norm = 1 second want to prolong INR to 2-3 seconds
warfarin drug-drug interactions Abx, NSAIDs (inc bleeding), vitamin K (the antidote of warfarin, makes it less effective), steroids, alcohol, Vit E, anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, proton pump inhibitors, statins
warfarin monitoring- indications DVT, PE, prevention of systemic embolism 2-3
mechanical prosthetic valves (mitral ) 2.5-3.5 INR lest side between L atrium and L ventricle
mechanical prosthetic valves (atrial ) 2-3
warfarin patient counseling adverse effects - bleeding/bruising s/s of clotting - weekness one side, FAST INR monitoring diet: consistent intake of vitamin K (moderation) common drug interactions tablet ID
warfarin nursing implications slow onset of effect (4-5 days until goal INR) may require parenteral anticoag. for "bridging" monitor INR for >2 days, then 2-3 times/week, then less most common med associated with bleeding often help for procedures or line placements
warfarin general administration time administer in the evening
warfarin reversal discontinued/ hold warfarin vitamin K (phytonadione) fresh frozen plasma (FFP) prothrombin complex concentrates PCC -3 factor or 4 factor (tries to give back factors III, VII, IX, X) recombinate factor VIIa, very rapid reversal
direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) direct thrombin inhibitors -dabigatran selective factor Xa inhibitors -rivaroxaban -apixaban -edoxaban
DOACs vs warfarin DOACs are prefered to warfarin for most pts because their superior safety profile and at lease equivalent efficacy DOACs shouldnt be used for certain pts DOACs dont require Lab monitoring DOACs are expensive
pts that should not get DOACs mechanical heart valve, severe mitral stenosis, advanced kidney disease, hyper-coagulant states
unfractionated heparin (UFH) derived from pig intestines
heparin nursing implications prophylaxis (low dose SQ injection ) Tx: IV bolus and continuous IV infusion, starting dose is indication-based, titrated to aPTT or anti-factor Xa concentrations. short half life, reversible (protamine) monitor for bleeding and thrombocytopenia
