| anticoagulants | prevent new clots from forming
🗑
|
||||
| side effects of anticoagulants | bleeding, petechiae, weakness, epistaxis
🗑
|
||||
| antiplatelets | prevent platelet aggregation, prevent thrombosis in artery
🗑
|
||||
| clopidogrel (plavix) | used after MI or stroke to prevent recurrence; prevents ADP from binding with platelet receptor
🗑
|
||||
| thrombolytics | attack and dissolve already formed blood clots; bind to fibrin promoting plasminogen to plasmin
🗑
|
||||
| adverse effects of thrombolytics | anaphylaxis, laryngeal edema, angioedema, cerebral edema, seizures
🗑
|
||||
| anticoagulants interventions | monitor PT and INR, use soft toothbrush
🗑
|
||||
| bile acid sequestrants | reduce LDL cholesterol levels by binding with bile acids in the intestine - helps excrete lipids through the GI tract
🗑
|
||||
| fibrates (fibric acid) | reduce triglycerides and VLDL, do not take with anticoagulants
🗑
|
||||
| nicotnic acid | reduces VLDL and LDL, large doses required; niacin
🗑
|
||||
| cholesterol absorption inhibitor | decreases cholesterol from dietary absorption, reducing serum cholesterol, triglycerides and apoB levels; ezetimibe
🗑
|
||||
| HMG - COA, statins | inhibit the enzyme HMG CoA reductase in cholesterol biosynthesis, decreasing LDLs, VLDL and triglycerides, increases HDLs slightly
🗑
|
||||
| adverse reactions of statins | muscle cramps and weakness, cataracts, liver impairment, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis
🗑
|
||||
| rhabdomyolysis | breakdown of muscle tissue that releases a damaging protein into the bloodstream
🗑
|
||||
| heparin | accelerates anticoagulation cascade, prolongs clotting time; monitor PTT (normal 60 to 70), aPTT
🗑
|
||||
| bleeding precautions | aware of epistaxis, hematoma, avoid large amounts of leafy greens, do not take a lot of aspirin
🗑
|
||||
| low molecular weight heparin | more stable, less lab monitoring, less risk for bleeding; enoxeparin
🗑
|
||||
| direct thrombin inhibitors | treatment of DVT and PE; argathroban
🗑
|
||||
| side effects of direct thrombin inhibitors | chest pain, dyspnea, hematoma, hypotension, cardiac arrest
🗑
|
||||
| oral warfarin | inhibits synthesis of vitamin K, monitor PT (prothrombin time), INR (international normalized ratio)
🗑
|
||||
| PT | time it takes to form a clot
🗑
|
||||
| selective factor xa inhibitor | selectively blocks clotting factor xa, does not require close monitoring
🗑
|
||||
| side effects of warfarin | petechiae, priapism, alopecia, fever
🗑
|
||||
| anti platelet example | aspirin
🗑
|
||||
