3. Medically Complex Patients Flashcards

1
Q

Describe the difference between primary and secondary hemostasis

A

Primary Hemostasis

  • Injury to Blood vessel –>Platelet plug formation
  • Platelets and coagulation factors in plasma and vessel wall interact to form platelet plug at injury site

Secondary Hemostasis
-Coagulation and clotting factors lead to production of fibrin which is deposited to form blood clot

Q

Severe, Moderate, Mild hemophilia is defined as…

A
  • Severe= <1% factor VIII non detectable in plasma spontaneous bleeding in joints and muscles
  • Moderate= 1-4% Factor VIII. Less severe bleeding after small trauma
  • Mild (5-25% Factor VIII) may not manifest until after trauma or surgery

Q

IS there a cure for hemophilia

A

no

20
Q

What should be done to minimize the health consequences of hemophilia

A
  • Avoid injury and meds that promote bleeding
  • Good nutrition
  • Good oral hygiene
  • IV administration of deficient clotting agent
21
Q

What are signs of hemophilia

A
  • Intracranial hemorrhage
  • Prlonged nose bleeds
  • Bruise easily
  • Warm, Painful swollen joints with decreased movement
  • GI hemorrhage
22
Q

Inheritance pattern for hemophilia B is

A

X-linked recessive (same as hemophilia A)

23
Q

What is the inheritance pattern of Von Willebrand’s disease

A

autosomal dominant (can also be aquired)

24
Q

How can von willebrand’s disease be acquired

A
  • Via thrombocytopenia

- Via autoantibodies against VWF

25
Q

Classification of VW disease is based on

A
  • Inherited v.s acquired
  • Depends on platelet and factor defects
  • As mild as nosebleeds, gingival bleeding and bruising to severe internal bleeding
26
Q

What bleeding disorders can only boys get

A

Hemophilia A and B

27
Q

Blood screening tests for these three bleeding disorders tests the ability of the _ clotting pathway with the _ test

A

Intrinsic pathway… Activated Partial thromboplastin time (APTT)

28
Q

What is the blood test that measures the function of the extrinsic clotting pathway

A

Prothombin time (PT)

29
Q

If coagulation test results are _ seconds more than the control this is considered abnormal

A

2 sec

30
Q

The time required to stop bleeding is a measure of what

A

the platelet function

31
Q

What is the normal APTT and PT times

A

APTT=24-38 sec

PT= 11-17 sec

32
Q

A

All of them

33
Q

Which of the three bleeding disorders will have a prolonged PT

A

None of them

34
Q

What bleeding disorders will have a decreased factor VIII

A

Hemophilia A and Von willebrands

35
Q

Which diseases will have an increased bleeding time

A

only Von Willebrand’s because of the impaired platelet function

36

Platelet counts in Von Willebrands disease will be (decrease/normal)

A

Could be either depends on the type

37
Q

Q

What are the clinical hallmarks of hemophilia

A
  • Easy bruising
  • Prolonged/fatal bleeding after surgery or trauma

39
Q

Possible sequelae of a hematoma in the muscle could be what
