Question | Answer |
Initial phase of hemostasis | limited blood flow to area and vessel constriction at site |
2nd phase of hemostasis | thrombin activates platelets, platelet plug |
3rd phase of hemostasis | fibrin creates mesh around platelet plug which secures platelet plug |
4th phase of hemostasis | plasmin dissolves clot |
how do clot busters work | form plasmin to break up clots |
intrinsic pathway | contact activation pathway |
extrinsic pathway | tissue factor pathway, which is turned on by trauma to vascular wall |
what med inhibits synthesis of clotting factor | coumadin only. all others inhibit activity of clotting factors |
what anticoag is safe during pregnancy | heprin |
what lab test should you monitor for heprin | aPTT |
will heparin break down a clot | no |
will heparin prevent a clot from forming | yes |
heprin route | IV or sub cut only; cannot give IM or orally because it will cause hematomas |
heprin is an animal byproduct, what must you watch out for | allergies, specifically HIT - heparin induced thrombocytopenia. If platelet levels fall below 100 don't give heprin |
can heparin be used for rapid therapy | yes |
uses for heparin | PE, CVA, DVA, proflaxis, renal dyalysis, and low dose proflaxis for post-op |
side effects of heparin | bleeding, HIT - heparin induced thrombocytopenia (a heparin allergy, if platelet levels fall below 100 don't give heparin), allergy |
contraindications for heparin | thrombocytopenia, uncontrolled bleeding, surgery in a highly vascular area |
what do you give for a heparin overdose | Protamine Sulfate. It only lasts for 2 hours, so you may need to repeat |
how is LMWH dosage determined | by body weight |
what is the big difference between heparin and LMWH | With LMWH you don't have to monitor aPTT. |
side effects of LMWH | bleeding and thrombocytopenia |
what is the direct thrombin inhibitor drug we have to know? | Angiomax = Bivalirodin and Warfin = Coumadin |
route of Angiomax | IV only and only in hospital |
will Angiomax dissolve existing clots | No, angiomax is a direct thrombin inhibitor. Only Thrombolytic drugs dissolve existing clots |
How long is Angiomax's 1/2 life | very short. Therefore, its need to be on a continuous drip |
What are the side effects of Angiomax? | bleeding, pack pain, nausea, headache, and it is very expensive |
if a pt is on Angiomax and has back pain, what would you recommend | take tyelenol, but don't' take asprin |
route for warfrin | oral |
does warfin work right away | no, it has a delayed onset b/c it does not work on existing clotting factors. |
when will you see effects of warfin | may see initial effects in 12 hours, but full peak effect is 3-4 days |
what does warfin work on | vitamin k clotting factors 7,9,10, and prothrombin |
uses for warfin | proflaxis of thrombosis, |
dosage frequency of warfin | 1x a day b/c of longer half life. pts will stay on heparin until warfin levels are up |
lab value for warfin | PT-INR. INR should be 2-3 |
what to give for OD of warfin | Vitamin k or fresh frozen platelets |
can you use warfin in pregnancy | no |
what anti platelet drugs are we responsible for | aprin and Plavix |
how does aprin work | irreversibly inhibits cyclo-oxygenase and last the life of the platelet which is about 7-10 days |
side effects of asprin | bleeding, especially GI bleeding |
when would a pt get plavix | to prevent blockage of a coronary stent post PCI and to reduce risk of thrombolytic evens with pts with angina |
route of plavix | orally |
dosage changes in elderly taking plavix | no change for elderly, dosage remains at 75 mg |
side effects of plavix | diarrha, dyspepsia, rash, abdominal pain, less incidence of GI bleed with aspirin but still a chance, used with caution with other meds, PPI - PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS SUCH AS PRILOSEC WILL DECREASE THE EFFICACY OF PLAVIX |
what will decrease the efficacy of plavix | proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec |
what med causes diarrhea, dyspepsia, rash and abdominal pain and still runs a risk of GI bleeding | PLAVIX |
super asprin | GP2B3A Inhibitor |
how do GP2B3A Inhibitor work | inhibit platelet aggregation b/c GP2B3A is a platelet membrane protein used for adhesion and aggregation |
route for GP2B3A Inhibitor | IV only |
side effects for GP2B3A Inhibitor | bleeding, not used at home. |
when is GP2B3A Inhibitor used | acute MI and PCI |
coumadin | anticoagulate |
heprin | anticoagulate |
angiomax | direct thrombin inhibitor |
warfin | direct thrombin inhibitor |
asprin | antiplatelet |
plavix | antiplatelet |
GP2B3A Inhibitor | antiplatelet |
streptokinase | thrombolytic drug = clot buster |
what thrombolytic drug do we need to know | Streptokinase - its a clot buster |
uses of Streptokinase | MI, DVT, Massive PE |
is Streptokinase used outpatient | no, b/c it is very dangerous |
does Streptokinase prevent clots | No, Streptokinase only breaks down existing clots |
does Streptokinase break down existing clots | yes, it is a thrombolytic drug, that is what they do |
time from to use thrombolytic drug in MI | should be used within 4-6 hour of symptom onset; NEVER USED if pain has been there more than 12 hours |
when should you NEVER use a thrombolytic drug such as Streptokinase | after a recent stroke, when there is an active GI bleed, and after recent CPR |
side effects of Streptokinase | bleeding, which can progress to hemorrhage, antibody production (patients can have an allergy reaction), HPTN, Fever, and cerebral hemmorhage |
which drug can cause HPTN | Streptokinase, a thrombolytic drug is the only one with a side effect of hptn |
