Anti Coag Drugs Flashcards
First phase of hemostasis
Vascular constriction limits the flow of blood to the area of injury
Second phase of hemostasis
Platelets become activated and aggregate at the site of injury, forming a temporary, loose platelet plug (primary)
Third phase of hemostasis
Fibrin mesh (clot) forms and entraps the plug (secondary)
Fourth phase of hemostasis
The clot is dissolved in order for normal blood flow to resume following tissue repair
What is primarily responsible for stimulating platelet clump?
Fibrinogen
Platelets clump by binding to collagen that becomes exposed following…
rupture of the endothelial lining of vessels
Upon activation, platelets release
ADP and TXA2 (activate additional platelets), 5HT, phospholipids, lipoproteins etc.
White thrombus
plug contains only platelets
Red thrombus
plug contains red cells as well
The dissolution of a clot occurs through the action of this protein
plasmin
3 classes of drugs to reduce clotting -
- Antiplatelet drugs
- Anticoagulant drugs
- Fibrinolytic drugs
4 types of antiplatelet drugs
COX inhibitors
ADP Receptor Antagonists
GPIIb/IIIa Receptor inhibitors
Adenosine reuptake inhibitors
COX inhibitor used in anti-clotting therapy
Aspirin (irreversible)
ADP Receptor Antagonists
Clopidogrel
Ticlopidine
Prasugrel
GPIIb/IIIa Receptor Inhibitors
Abciximab
Eptifibatide
Tirofiban
Adenosine Reuptake Inhibitor
Dipyridamole
Antiplatelets act at
phase 2 - platelet plug formation
Anticoagulants act at
Phase 3 - secondary hemostasis
Fibrinolytic drugs
Phase 4
4 types of anticoagulants
- indirect thrombin inhibitors
- direct thrombin inhibitors
- Vitamin K analog
- Factor Xa Inhibitor
Indirect thrombin inhibitors
Heparin
LMW heparin
Fondaparinux
Reverse Heparin
Protamine
Direct thrombin inhibitors
Bivalirudin
Argatroban
Dabigatran etexilate (oral)
Vitamin K analog
Warfarin
Reverse Warfarin
Vitamin K (phytonadione)
Factor Xa Inhibitor
Rivaroxaban
Fibrinolytic drugs - Tissue plasminogen activators
Alteplase
Reteplase
Tenecteplase
List some therapeutic uses for anti-coags
Venous thromboembolism, Unstable angina, Acute MI, Stroke, Prevent thrombosis during angioplasty and cariopulmonary bypass, A. fib
Aspirin - things to know
Acetylsalicylate
COX1 in platelets
AE: Bleeding, GI dist., tinnitus
Low dose vs high dose aspirin
Low dose - effect platelet
High dose - anti inflammation
ADP receptor Antagonists
Irreversible, last as long as platelet
Oral, days duration
Stenting and patients who don’t tolerate aspirin
AE of ADP receptor antagonists
Bleeding, nausea, diarrhea, rash, leukopenia
TTP - rarely with ticlopidine
Clopidogrel and Prasugrel have _____ than Ticlopidine
Fewer side effects
