Anticoagulants Flashcards

1
Q

Unfractionated Heparin

A

Anticoagulant
Template mechanism, inhibits thrombin (IIa) via antithrombin. IV or SQ
Unpredictable bio availability - need to monitor via APTT

Short Half life
Can reverse via protamine
Can use in pregnancy
Risk HIT: platelet activation by Abs against heparin -PF4 complex. Occurs 5-10d after, DVT, PE, MI, stroke, Skin necrosis.

Q

Low Molecular Weight Heparin

A

Anticoagulant
Newer, smaller
Inhibit Xa
not as unpredictable - do NOT monitor with APTT, can monitor was assay , renal metabolism

Short Half life
Can reverse via protamine
Can use in pregnancy
Less Risk HIT: platelet activation by Abs against heparin -PF4 complex. Occurs 5-10d after, DVT, PE, MI, stroke, Skin necrosis.
