Blood Surface Interactions (Part 1) - Exam 3 Flashcards
How does heparin work?at
No direct inhibition of coag; accelerates action of antithrombin
Direct activation of other blood components
What blood components does heparin activate?
Platelets Factor XII Complement system Neutrophils Monocytes
What allergic response can occur from heparin?
HIT
HIT
Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia
Causes bleeding
What percent of patients receiving heparin develop HIT?
2-5% of patients receiving heparin
HITT
Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis
causes thrombosis
What percent of patients develop HITT?
0.1-0.2% of patients receiving heparin
What is the mechanism for HIT and HITT?
Heparin binds to PF4 and induces IgG formation
Heparin/PF4-IgG complex activates plts
PF4
Platelet factor 4
What does the formation of heparin/PF4-IgG result in?
Decreases circulating number of platelets
HIT is defined as what percent decrease in platelets?
40-50% decrease
What does HITT involve?
Decrease in number of platelets and any evidence of thrombosis
What does quick exposure of whole blood mass to biomaterials of ECC result in?
Plasma protein adsorption on to surface of ECC
Contact activation of blood
Emboli formation
Increased Interstitial fluid
How fast does plasma protein adsorption onto the surface of ECC occur?
Very quick
What does the amount of plasma proteins absorbed onto ECC depend on?
- Protein and intrinsic surface activity of biomaterial
- Wettability
- Hydrophilic/ hydrophobic ratio
- Surface chemistry
- surface electrical properties
- roughness/ porosity
- subsurface features
- distribution of function receptor sites
What does activation of blood correlate with?
Physical/Chemical properties of biomaterial
Is plasma protein adsopriton onto surface of ECC predictable?
No; correlation is made retrospectively
What does contact activation of blood to ECC stimulate?
Coagulation cascade
Complement system
Alteration of cell signaling substances
Contact activation of blood to ECC exposes receptor sites for what?
Blood cells
Plasma proteins (FXII, Complement protein 3)
Platelets
Surgery Emboli Formation Sources: Wound Debris
Fibrin Fat Calcium Cellular debris Other foreign material Air emboli
Surgery Emboli Formation Sources: Surgical Manipulation
Plaque debris (arterial cannulation, XC) Air emboli (cannulation, incomplete deairing)
Blood Activation/Trauma Emboli Formation Sources
Fibrin emboli

red cell debris
Crystalloid Solutions: emboli formation
Inorganic debris
dust
Roller Pumps: Emboli Formation
Spallation
Embolic Material
Fibrin Fat (Free/denatured lipoproteins/chlyomicrons) Denatured protein Platelet aggreagtes Leukocyte aggregates Red cell debris Gas (Nitrogen, oxygen) Foreign material (Ca, Tissue debris, sutures) Spallated material
What type of fats can be embolic material?
Free fat
denatured lipoproteins
Chylomicrons
Chylomicrons
a droplet of fat present in the blood or lymph after absorption form the small intestine
