43
Q

mechanism indirect thrombin inhibitors

A

Bind to antithrombin to have their effect

Q

Thrombocytopenia most common with ____ (AE)

54
Q

How to monitor Heparin (lab)

A

Requires close monitoring of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or PTT) (Intrinsic pathway)

55
Q

LMWH vs. Heparin

A

LMWH - more predictable pharmacokinetics, no monitoring required in most patients, fewer non-hemorrhagic side effects

56
Q

aPTT measures

A

intrinsic pathway

57
Q

If a PTT is long, and PT normal,

A

then the person is considered to have a defect in the intrinsic pathway

58

59
Q

PT and INR measure

A

extrinsic pathway

60
Q

If PT is prolonged and aPTT is normal, then person has a defect in

A

extrinsic pathway

61
Q

PT measures factors

A

I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, X

62
Q

What is best for monitoring warfarin

A

PT/INR Best for monitoring warfarin because it assess Factor VII status right away

63
Q

AE heparin, LMWH, fondaparinux

A

Bleeding

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

64
Q

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
