Q

What blood product poses an increase risk for infection? Why?

A
  • Cryoprecipitate
  • Not sent for viral attenuation
17
Q

Pts with coagulopathies undergoing neuraxial anesthesia are at increased risk for what?

A
  • Hematoma
  • Nerve compression
18
Q

What are the anesthesia considerations for someone with vWF deficiency?

A
  • Avoid trauma (particularly airway)
  • avoid IM sticks
  • avoid arterial lines (if feasible)
  • avoid spinals
19
Q

How does heparin work?

A
  • Thrombin inhibition
  • Antithrombin III activation
20
Q

What labs are monitored with heparin?

A

PTT &/or ACT

21
Q

What is the mechanism of action of Coumadin?

A

Inhibition of vitamin K-dependent factors.

22
Q

Which factors are vitamin-K dependent?

A

II, VII, IX & X

23
Q

What is the onset for Vitamin K?

A

6-8hrs

24
Q

What drugs/products can be given to reverse coumadin faster than Vit K?

A
  • Prothrombin complex concentrates
  • Factor VIIa
  • FFP
25
Q

What is the mechanism of action for fibrinolytics (UK, streptokinase & tPA)?

A

Convert plasminogen to plasmin, which cleaves fibrin

26
Q

How do tranexamic acid (TXA) and aminocaproic acid work?

A

Inhibit conversion of plasminogen to plasmin

27
Q

What is the best way to treat DIC?

A

Treat the underlying cause

28
Q

What will labs show for someone in DIC?

A
  • ↓PLTs
  • Prolonged PT, PTT & TT.
  • ↑ fibrin degradation products
29
Q

When is antifibrinolytic therapy given to someone in DIC?

A

Trick question, it shouldn’t. Can lead to catastrophic thrombotic complications

30
Q

What is factor V Leiden?

A
  • Protein for clotting.

Activated protein C inactivates factor V thus stopping clot growth.

31
Q

What is Factor V Leiden deficiency?

A

Genetic mutation where Activated protein C cannot stop factor V Leiden thus excessive fibrin.

32
Q

What does Activated Protein C do?

A

Inactivates factor V when enough fibrin has been made.

33
Q

Who is usually tested for Factor V Leiden?

A

Pregnant women. Especially ones with unexplained late stage abortions

34
Q

What anticoagulant medications could someone with Factor V Leiden be put on?

A
  • Warfarin
  • LMWH & unfractionated heparin
35
Q

What is the hallmark sign of HIT?

A

Plt count <100,000

36
Q

HIT results in ____ activation and potential____?

A

platelet; thrombosis

37
Q

What is heparin replaced with when HIT is diagnosed?

A

Agratroban or bivalirudin (direct-thrombin inhibitors)

38
Q

What is Fonaparinaux & when is it used?

A
  • A synthetic Factor Xa inhibitor
  • used to treat VTE in HIT
