A

slow, 2-3 days

Q

hazards taking warfarin

A

haemorrhage, 1% risk of bleed, 25% fatal
due to trauma like fall, serious if older
soft tissue injury - bleeding into muscles
rapid reversal of vitK agonist possible in hospital

Q

new oral anticogulants

A

to resolve issues of warfarin
- dont need to monitor aciton, predicatable bioavailability
- rapid onset of action, 1hr
- short duration of action, 1 day
- short tx
- reversable agents for severe bleeding/trauma
good for those rurally

24
Q

dental tx and NOACs

A

assess bleeding risk, early in day, limit initial tx
if high risk - miss/delay morning dose
restart immediately
haemostatic measures
keep 20 mins after to assess bleeding

25
Q

NOAC drug interactions

A

safe with antibiotics except erythromycin
safe with antifungals, LA, antivirals
AVOID NSAIDS, CARBAMEZEPINE

26
Q

antiplatelets

A

stop platelet aggregation

27
Q

antiplatelet standard therapy

A

low dose aspirin 75mg
clopidogrel
dipyridamole

28
Q

antiplatelets in clinical practice

A

inhibits platelet aggregattiom, inhibits thrombus formation in arterial medication
local haemostatic measures

29
Q

dual therapy

A

non-aspirin single therapy, dual therapy with aspirin
do nto interrupt tx, expect prolonged bleeding, haemostasis
if 2 antip without aspirin
discuss w doctor
post op and contact no

30
Q

antiplatelets + dental drug interactions

A

avoud NSAIDs if poss
clopidogrel = erythromycin/fluconazole reduce efficacy
ticagrelor = claeithromycin
carbamazepine / omperazole reduce efficacy

31
Q

inherited bleeding disorders

A

an acquired defect which affects the coagulation of bloof
affects - coagulation cascade, platelets

32
Q

haemophilia

A

too little clot formed

33
Q

thrombophilia

A

too much clot formed

34
Q

disorders reducing coagulation factors

A

factor VIII defiency
haemphilia A
factor IX deficiencu
haermphiia B
von willebrands
reduced factor VIII, redued platelet aggregation

35
Q

haemophilia A + B

A

inheritance, sex linked recessive gene
defective X chrmosome, males affected, females carrier
severity depnds of amount of factor produced

36
Q

haemophilia iu

A

international unit
1iu is normal
carrier 0.5iu
severe = <0.02
mod = 0.02-0.09
mild - 0.1-0.4

37
Q

haemophilia A

A

deficiency in factor 8

38
Q

haemophilia A management

A

severe/mod
- recombinant factor 8
mild/carriers
- DDAVP, oral tranexamic acid

39
Q

DDAVP

A

desmopressin, releases factor 8 which has been bound to endothelial cells, temporary boost to f8 levels and clotting abiluty
doesnt itself have effects of coagulation cascade, cannot be used reguarly as only displaces those on wall, wont work

40
Q

tranexamic acid

A

inhibitor of fibrinolysis, keeps any clot that is formed
same effect as increasing f8 in blood

41
Q

haemophilia B

A

chrtistmas disease
deficiency of factor 9 IX

42
Q

management of haemophilia B

A

severe/mod
mild/carriers
- recomvinant factor 9
- no alternative

43
Q

coagulation factor inhibitors

A

antibodies which develop to f8 and 9
antibody response produced
give new drugs infrequently
each dose has to be higher to overcome inhibitors from previous dose

44
Q

von willebrand disease

A

factor 8 problem associated w platelet issues
high incidence
poor clot activty
autosomal dominant, bothh sexes equally effected
type1/2 mild, tpye 3 severe

45
Q

management of von willebrands

A

severe/mod
- DDAVP
mild/carriers
- oral tranexamic acid
haematologist advice, tailored tx

46
Q

rare bleeding disorders

A

hard to characterise, defects of other factors in coagulation cascade

47
Q

management of px w bleeding disorders

A

high degree factor activty, low rik
assess risks, location of tx may need to be done in hospital or sepcialist

48
Q

haemophilia dental care managing

A

sev/mod - haemophilia centre
mild/carrier - dpenedent on procedure, review at haem centre every 2 years

49
Q

which procedures require special care for haemphilia px

A

administration of LA, extractions, minor oral surgery, periodontal surgery, biopsies

50
Q

LA safe or danger in haem px

A

safe - buccal infiltration, intraligamentary, intrapapillary
danger - inferior alveolar nerve block, lingual infiltration , posterior superior nerve block

51
Q

most important aspect of care w those w bleeding disorders

A

PREVENTION
OHI, regular dental visits, fluoride, sealants, dietary advice, smoking cessation

52
Q

thrombophilia

A

increased risk of clot development, greater than clot breakdown
acquired imposed on genetic tendency
can lead to blockage of major blood vessels in heart/lungs

53
Q

thrombophilia inherited syndromes

A

inherited - protein C/S deificency, factor V leiden, antithrombin III deficiency
