84
Q

How and where does Aspirin and NSAIDS affect coagulation?

A

Within the phospholipid bilayer. Aspirin (irreversible) and NSAIDS (reversible) inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX). COX converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandins which in turn releases/excites Thromboane A2, responsible for platelet aggregation.

So - Aspirin and NSAIDS decrease platelet function

85

20,000 - spontaneous bleeding is likely to occur. Considered a critical level.

86
