Q

what happens after a vessel is injured?

A
  1. vessel spasm (constricts)
  2. platelets adhere to injury site and aggregate to form plug
  3. formation of insoluble fibrin strands and coagulation

46
Q

T/F: congenital bleeding disorders are more common than acquired bleeding disorders

A

false

47
Q

T/F: Hemophilia B is more common than Hemophilia A

A

false

Hem A > Hem B

48
Q

von Willebrand disease

A
  • genetic disorder

- missing or defective von Willebrand factor (a clotting protein)

49
Q

what percent of US population has von Willebrand disease?

A

1%

50
Q

T/F: von Willebrand disease equally occurs in men and women

A

true

51
Q

common syms of von Willebrand disease

A
  • frequent nosebleeds
  • easy bruising
  • excessive bleeding during and after invasive procedures (EXT)
52
Q

what is another common sym present in women with von Willebrand disease

A

heavy bleeding during periods and can have bad hemorrhages during child birth

53
Q

von Willebrand factor fxn

A
  • binds platelets to exposed collagen (adhesion)

- binds platelets to platelets (aggregation)

54
Q

what does von Willebrand factor bind to?

A

circulating factor VIII

55
Q

what happens to the unbound factor VIII?

A

it gets destroyed

56
Q

main fxn of factor VIII?

A

help factor IX convert to factor X

57
Q

what happens if there is no factor VIII?

A
  • whole left side of cascade gets wiped out

- coagulation won’t occur properly

58
Q

how many types of von Willebrand disease are there?

A

3

59
Q

type 1 von Willebrand disease

A

low von Willebrand factor levels (quantitative issue)

60
Q

how many von Willebrand disease pts have type 1?

A

60-80%

61
Q

syms of type 1 von Willebrand disease pts

A

mild thus most easily managed

62
Q

which is the most common von Willebrand disease type?

A

type 1

63
Q

type 2 von Willebrand disease

A

normal von Willebrand factor levels but doesn’t work properly (qualitative issue)

64
Q

how many von Willebrand disease pts have type 2?

A

15-30%

65
Q

syms of type 2 von Willebrand disease pts

A

mild-moderate

66
Q

type 3 von Willebrand disease

A

little or no von Willebrand factor (quantitative issue)

67
Q

how many von Willebrand disease pts have type 3?

A

5-10%

68
Q

syms of type 3 von Willebrand disease pts

A

severe

*can get spontaneous bleeding into joints and need immediate factor replacement

69
Q

syms of type 3 von Willebrand disease pts are similar to what?

A

Hemophilia pts

70
Q

med management of von Willebrand disease

depends on type of vWD and severity of syms

Q

what lab test correlated with the bleeding syms of vWD?

A

none

72

drugs for pts with vWD

A
  • desmopressin (DDAVP)

73
Q

desmopressing (DDAVP)

stimulates release of vWF from endothelial cells

74

increases plasma factor VIII and vWF levels

75
Q

DDAVP works well for what type of vWD?

A

type 1

76
Q

can type 2 vWD pts take DDAVP?

A

no, doesn’t work well… will increase tons of defective vWF instead

vWF replacement is for which type of vWD?

A
  • severe type 1
  • type 2
  • type 3
78
Q

what is considered severe type 1 vWD?

A

when there is no response to desmopressin

79

antifibrinolytic therapy

A

prevent the dissolution of the hemostatic plug

80
Q

most 2 common anti-fibrinolytic drugs?

A
  • aminocaproic acid

- tranexamic acid

81
Q

dental management for surgical procedures on pts with vWD

A
  • consult with hematologist for perioperative management
