anticoagulants, antiplatelet, thrombolytics Flashcards
UFH uses
rapid parenteral anticoagulation
UFH mechanism
w/antithrombin III binds and inactivates clotting factors II, X, IX, XII, kallikrein
intrinsic and common pathways
UFH route of administration
IV, SQ
UFH monitor tests
aPTT 1.5-2.5x control
thrombin time
high doses elevated PT
UFH most notable side effect
bleeding, thrombocytopenia
UFH indications
UA/NSTEMI AMI PCI VTE prevention and treatment DIC
low MW heparin
parenteral, prophylaxis, and treatment of MI, DVT, and PE
mechanism of low MW heparin
binds antithrombin inhibits X
route of administration low MW heparin
SQ
Monitor testsing low MW heparin
testing not usually necessary
low MW heparin side effect
bleeding
indications for low MW heparin
UA/NSTEMI AMI PCI VTE prevention and treatment
warfarin uses
slow sustained oral anticoagulant
warfarin mechanism
inhibits vit K dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX, X, protein C and S
extrinsic and common
warfarin administration
PO
warfarin monitor tests
PT -> INR (2-3)
warfarin side effects
bleeding
drug-drug interactions
warfarin indications
VTE
AFib
LMWHs
Enoxaparin
-parin
factor X inhibitors
fondaparinux
rivoxaban
apixban
dabigatran uses
oral anticoagulant
prevention of stroke in non-valvular afib
prevention of stroke in knee and hip replacements
dabigatran mechansims
binds directly to thrombin, inhibits clot bound circulationg thrombin, decrease thrombin stimulated platelet aggregation
dabigatran monitor testing
none
dabigatran side effects
bleeding < warfarin
dyspepsia, gastritis, GI bleeding
very expensive
rivaroxaban uses
oral anticoagulant
prevention of DVT in patients w/knee and hip replacement
prevention of stroke and DVT in non-valvular afib
rivaroxaban mechanisms
binds directly to and inhibits Xa
monitor testing rivaroxaban
none
rivaroxaban side effects
bleeding >/= enoxaparin
expensive
apixaban uses
oral anticoagulant
prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in non-valvular aFib
