Q

What is the difference between low molecular weight heparin and unfractionated heparin?

A

Unfrac: binds to factor Xa and thrombin. It wraps 2 in a blankie
LMW: binds only Xa, get a more reliable heparin reponse

A

Absorb: peak concentration 2-4 hrs. No IM. poor GI
Distribution: stable, consistent form patient to patient. equal to blood volume. does not cross placenta

30
Q

Where is LMWH metabolized?

33
Q

We don’t want to give LMWH for _____

A

acute stroke

embolic->hemorrhagic (we want to be able to shut it off and its gone)

34
Q

What should you order to monitor LMWH

A

CBC (platelet, hb/hc)
signs of bleeding
renal fxn

38
Q

What is the MOA of warfarin?

39
Q

What do you order to monitor warfarin?

A
prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR)
(we are actually looking t INR)
40
