Palpable
Don’t blanch
Ecchymoses?
> 1cm
Initial labs for bleeding disorder? (4)
CBC w/ platelet count
Periphial smear
PT/INR, aPTT
+/- bleed time
Platelets levels:
thrombocytopenia?
prolonged bleed from injury?
spontaneous bleed?
< 100k
40k
<20k
Bleed time measures?
Screens for?
Prolonged if?
Time for hemostasis
Microvasculature and platelet fxn
Platelet disorder
Hemostatic response to vessel injury?
1st vasospasm
2nd platelet aggregation
3rd coag cascade
Extrinsic Pathway includes what Factors?
Requires what for activation?
What test measure Extrinsic path?
What med interrupts Extrinsic path?
Factor VII
Tissue Factor
PT (also measures Common)
Warfarin
Intrinsic Pathway includes what Factors?
Requires what for activation?
What test measures Intrinsic path?
What med interrupts Intrinsic path?
VIII, IX, XI, XII
Injury
PTT (also measures Common)
Heparin
Common Pathway includes what Factors?
What test measures Common path?
What med interrupts Common path?
I (fibrinogen), II (prothromin), V, X
PTT and PT
Lovanox
Prothrombin Time (PT) monitors what Path?
What meds?
What conditions? (2)
Extrinsic path
Warfarin
Liver fxn/damage
DIC
Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) or Activate Partial (aPTT) monitor what Path?
What meds?
What conditions? (5)
Intrinsic
Unfractionated Heparin (NOT LMWH)
Hemophilia, vW, liver damage, Vit K def, DIC
International Normalized Ratio (INR) monitors what?
Same as PT but more specific measures dependent on condition
INR target ranges:
DVT prophy?
DVT (acute), VTE, AFib?
Heart valves?
1.5 - 2
2 -3
2.5 - 3.5
PTT mixing study tests what?
Coag factor deficiency vs inhibitor problem
Mix pt blood w/ blood w/ normal factors,
If corrects, then pt missing factors
If not, pt has inhibitor problem
Thrombin Time (TT) tests what?
Fibrinogen
Clotting Disorders are?
Congenital or acquired
Excess or repetitive bleed at UNUSUAL sites w/ normal activity
U joints, mm, GI, GU
Hemophilia A/B details?
A = VIII (most common) B = IX (Christmas)
X-linked recessive
M»_space; F
Hemophilia A/B presentation?
Asympt until 1st bleed U by 2yo
Severe pain in weight-bearing joints
Hemo A tests?
Platelet count = N PT = N aPTT = long but corrects w/ PTT mix study Factor VIII assay
Platelet Disorders: Low
Questions? (5)
Sustained ↓? Recent infection? Meds that ↓ platelets? Bleed/Not bleed OFP to platelets? Evidence of: -platelet consumption synd? -other autoimm? -chronic liver dz?
