Anticoagulant Drugs Flashcards

1
Q

The clot does not extend beyond wound site into general circulation. Why?

A

Fibrin absorbs thrombin into the clot and inactivates it.

Q

Natural Mechanisms to control blood clotting (4)

A
  1. PGI2: inhibit platelet aggregation
  2. ATIII: blocks factors 12,11,9,10,2
  3. Protein C: inactivates factor 5 and 8
  4. Heparan sulfate:
    synthesized by endothelial cells
    Enhance the activity of ATIII

Q

How does the body maintain hemostasis?

A

After few mins bleeding stops

Q

How is testing for BT,PT,APTT , TT done ?

A

BT: take a filter paper, needle prick , and see the time blood clots.

PT: take blood in test tube , centrifuge it, separates the plasma-> add tissue thromboplastin + ca2+——> clot.

APTT: take blood in test tube, centrifuge it, separates the plasma—> add kaolin + ca2+ ———> clot

TT: fibrinogen——> fibrin
Activated by factor 2.

60
What is Reye’s syndrome?
When a child recovering from viral ds is ( influenza / chicken pox) is given aspirin , can cause liver failure and encephalopathy .
