Bleeding Disorder Flashcards
Define hemostasis:
Balance between (procoagulant: blood in fluid) - (anticoagulant)
diseases associated w\ Increased procoagulant factors vs increased in anticoagulant proteins
- procoagulant: bleeding disorder
- anticoagulant: thrombotic disorder
Hemostasis is an interplay between
- vascular endothelium
- platelets
- coagulation factors
Name the 4 phases for hemostasis:
1- vascular phase
2- platelet phase
3- coagulation factors
4- fibrinolytic system
Vwf is released in which phase of hemostasis?
In the vascular phase
Describe the vascular phase of hemostasis:
- tissue injury
- Vasoconstriction
- CT exposure (sub-endothelium)
- VwF release
What is primary and secondary hemostasis & what’s the end result?
Primary: platelet phase (platelet plug)
Secondary: coagulation factors (fibrin thrombus(
Describe the platelet phase of hemostasis:
- adhesion: attach to endothelium
- activation: activated & release granules (ADP, thromboxane A2, cofactor)
- aggregation: w\VwF + w\platelets
[platelet plug]
Describe the coagulation phase of hemostasis:
- initiation: making thrombin (extrinsic)
- amplification: further thrombin (intrinsic)
- propagation: (common)
[fibrin thrombus]
What are the factors for the intrinsic & extrinsic pathway?
- intrinsic: 12, 11, 9, 8
- extrinsic: 3,7
- common: 5
What factor is responsible for stabilization of clot?
Factor 13
What is the role of protein C and protein S in hemostasis?
Inactivate factor 5 to inhibit thrombin formation
What is the role of antithrombin, heparin, A2 macroglobulin in hemostasis?
Neutralize the activity of thrombin
What is the role of TPA in hemostasis?
Converts plasminogen to plasmin to dissolve fibrin clot
Describe the extrinsic pathway
- F7 > TF > F10 > F5
Describe the intrinsic pathway
F12 > F11 > F9 > to F10 by F8
Factors to consider when evaluating a bleeding disorder:
- Gender
- Age at 1st bleed
- Site
- Frequency
- Severity
When is bleeding in a child considered normal?
If mild and over bony prominance like shaft (1-10yrs)
Usually the etiology of mucocutanous bleeding vs internal bleeding is caused by:
- mucocutanous: primary
- internal: secondary
Delayed separation of umbilical stump is associated with which coagulation factor deficiency
Factor 13 deficiency
What are the history taking clues in the neonatal state that may indicate bleeding disorder
umbilical stump, veinipuncture site, cephalohematoma, ICH
What are the history taking clues in the vaccination and surgical procedure that may indicate bleeding disorder
Circumcision, hamatoma, prolonged oozing
It’s important to inquire about family history in bleeding disorder, such as:
- bleeding in PPP in female relatives
- diagnosed bleeding disorder
What medications might be associated with bleeding in child
NSAID, warfarin, herbal (ginger, ginko, garlic)
Name the 3 bleeding disorder mimickers:
- ehlers danlos
- hemangioma
- hemorrhagic talengectasia
- child abusse
What are the symptoms of ehlers danlos syndrome
- ecchymosis
- hyperextensible joints
What are the initial testing for bleeding child
- CBC & film: HUS\TTP\leukemia
- PT: F7
- aPTT: F8, F9, F11
- both: F10, F5, F2, F1
- Fibrinogen: DIC & sepsis
In case of heparin contamination, what test is best to identify the problem?
Reptalise time
What is the mode of inheretance for hemophilia A, B, and C?
A & B: X-linked
C: autosomal recessive
