Chapter 37 - Coagulopathy and hemorrhage Flashcards
Rapaport 4 level risk stratification scheme for bleeding disorder
LEVEL 1 = no history no signs LEVEL 2 = no history but major operation LEVEL 3 = history raise concerns LEVEL 4 = highly suggestive history
Pre-operative assessment based on Rapaport 4 level risk stratification
LEVEL 1 = no test LEVEL 2 = aPTT, plt count LEVEL 3 = bleeding time, plt count, PT, aPTT, test factor 13 and fibrinolysis screening LEVEL 4 = bleeding time after ASA (wWD or plt disorder), factor 8 and 9 levels, TT (dysfibrinogenemia)
Proper blood to citrate ratio when drawing blood
9:1 tests done within 2 hr if room temp 4 hours if 4C
Test of coagulation and clinical uses
TABLE 37.1
Bleeding time cut off
5 min = abnormal
Euglobulin lysis time (ELT)
1) assess global function of plasma fibrinolytic system 2) time required for clot to lyse in tube 3) normal 90-240 min 4) help to differentiate primary fibrinolytic state from DIC
wWF function
1) bind platelet and endothelial component 2) contribute to clot formation 3) carrier protein for factor 8
wVD incidence
1% of population only 5% affected as symptomatic worse if taking antiplatelet or NSAID
Types of vWD

tests for vWD
TABLE 37.3
Giant platelet disorders
1) Bernard-Soulier syndrome - structural defect 2) May Hegglin anomaly - abnormal neutrophil inclusion 3) Hereditary macrothrombocytopenia with hearing loss 4) Mediterranean macrothrombocytopenia - non-specific
Bernard Soulier syndrome
1) thrombocytopenia 2) large platelets 3) bleeding 4) dysfunction or absence of GP-Ib/IX/V complex 5) treat with platelet transfusion
Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia
1) Defect GP-IIb/IIIa 2) platelet attach to endothelium but cannot aggregate 3) mucocutaneous bleeding
Platelet dense granules
ADP, serotonin
Gray platelet syndrome
1) Alpha-granule storage disorder 2) bleeding, moderate thrombocytopenia and prolonged bleeding time 3) preprocedural DDAVP and plt transfusion as treatment
Platelet dense granule storage disorder
1) Chédiak-Higashi syndrome 2) Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome 3) thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
1) X-chromosome linked immunodeficiency 2) thrombocytopenia 3) eczema 4) defect glycoprotein L115 = unable to aggregate 5) treat = bone marrow transplant
Factor 8 half life
12 hours protected from premature degradation by vWF
Hemophilia bleeding along the coagulation stages
Secondary hemostasis failure platelet plug forms but fibrin plug defective
Mild moderate and major hemophilia
Mild: factor 8 or 9 level 5-40% normal moderate: 1-5% normal Severe: < 1% normal
Hemophilia A, B, C
A = X-linked deficiency Factor 8 B = X-lined Factor 9 C = Autosomal Factor 11
Treatment of hemophilia
1) DDAVP 2) factor 8 or 9 concentrates 3) activated prothrombin complex concentrates
