ACE Review - Hematology Flashcards
What factor is defficient in hemophilia a
Factor eight
What should be given to hemophilia a patient
Preop factor eight as well as factor 810 to 14 days post operative
How is hemophilia a patient’s treatment postoperatively Different for bone surgeries
They may require factor 8 4 To6 weeks postoperatively
When will Recombinant factor 8 not be sufficient to treat hemophilia a patient
When they develop anti-Body inhibitors
What is the Treatment for patients with antibody inhibitors in hemophilia a patient
Factor Seven a
Argatroban. What is the mechanism of action
it is a direct thrombin inhibitor
agatroban. how is it cleared
liver…significantly
agatroban. what is the half life
forty five minutes
agatroban. what do u use to monitor it
ptt
agatroban. what can be used to reverse it
nothing…just time, usually afte 2 hours
Hemophilia a. What are the severity levels
Mild moderate and severe
Hemophilia a. What is mild
6-30% of normal factor 8 levels…these patients usually do not show signs of bleeding
Hemophilia a. What is moderate
1-5%. These patients do not spontaneously bleeding but will during surgery or trauma
Hemophilia a. What is severe.
Less than 1% normal functioning factor 8. These patients bleed spontaneously
Hemophilia a. What is chronic treatment
Recombinant factor 8 to achieve 3% of normal levels
Hemophilia a. What severity patient needs recombinant factor 8 before surgery.
All..all hemophiliacs need need 100% factor levels before surgery.
Hemophilia A. When is factor 7a used for treatment
In severe hemophiliac A patients who have developed antibodies to factor 8 recombinant
Hemophilia A. How long after surgery should factor 8 be continued.
For most non ortho surgeries…at least 10-14 days
Hemophilia a. For ortho surgeries,,.how long should factor 8 be continued
4-6 weeks
Hemophilia a. Is it a contraindication for neuraxial block
No…but appropriate levels of factor 8 needs to be documented before the procedure
Sickle cell disease. What predisposes to sickling.
Hypoxemia, hypothermia, dehydration, acidosis, vascular stasis, infection.
citrate toxicity. what is the t wave ekg change
flattened t waves
citrate toxicity. what is the qt interval ekg change
prolong qt
citrate toxicity. what is the most common sign
hypotension
citrate toxicity. what happens to the pulse pressure
decrease pulse pressure
citrate toxicity. why is there a decrease in pulse pressure
beause the myocardium is depressed
citrate toxicity. what happens to the pressures in the heart with citrate toxicity
back flow…leading to increase left ventricle end diastolic pressure, and increase cvp
citrate toxicity. what has more citrate, whole blood or ffp
both have the same
citrate toxicity. what is more likely to get citrate toxicity when infusing…whole blood or ffp
ffp, because it is easier to infuse faster than blood
citrate toxicity. what is the treatment
calcium chloride infusion
transfusion. what is the most common viral infection by transfusion
cmv
transfusion. what is the second common viral infection by transfusion
hep b
transfusion. what is the third common viral infection by transfusion
west nile
transfusion. what is the fourth most common viral infection by transfusion
hep c
transfusion. what is the fifth most common viral infection by transfusion
hiv
transfusion. what is the most common complication of tx
mistransfusion.
