drug therapy coagulation disorders Flashcards
heme means
blood
stasis means
halt
hemostasis means
halt of the blood
inferior vena cava brings blood from
the lower body extremities
prevention in hemostasis is what
stoppage of blood loss from injured vessel (maintains vascular compartment integrity)
mechanisms involved in hemostasis
vasoconstriction
what will you see with hemostasis
formation of platelet plug, sequential activation of clotting factors, reparation of the opening in damaged vessel
plasminogen & fibrin form color = what
stops blood flow = blood vessel repaired = plasmin(fibrinolysis) dissolves clot
what is the primary organ responsible for clotting factors
liver
intrinsic pathway is activated where
by trauma inside the blood vessels, starts when blood is exposed to collagen factor 12
extrinsic pathway occurs when
there is external trauma that occurs (vascular tissue trauma or trauma around the tissue)
thrombogenesis
formation and dissolving of thrombi; normal body defense
atrial thrombosis
obstruct arterial blood flow
what causes arterial thrombosis
atherosclerosis, HTN, turbulent arterial blood flow
incomplete blockage of arterial thrombosis
deficient blood flow= ischemia
complete blockage of arterial thrombosis
obstruction = necrosis (tissue death)
when there is damaged arterial endothelium what happens
platelet activation
venous thrombosis
result of venous stasis
slow venous blood flow =
thrombin and procoagulant substances become concentrated and form embolus
venous thrombosis is what compared to arterial thrombus
it is less cohesive making easily detachable and travel
pulmonary embolism are
life threatening
classic deep vein thrombosis s/sx
pain in lower extremities, erythema, swollen, hot (heat),
with atherosclerosis, you will see
elevated lipid serum levels, lipid filled macrohphages = fibrous plaques/ lesions = severe ulceration and scar tissue
if the blood clot in in the heart what could happed
myocardial infarction
if blood clot is in the brain, what could happen
TIA(warning sign to a stroke)/ CVA/ stroke
anticoagulants are used for
thrombotic disorders (more effective in preventing venous thrombus)
antiplatelets are used to
prevent arterial thrombosis
thrombolytics do what
dissolve thrombi and limit tissue damage in thromboembolic disorders
(venous) anticoagulants do not
dissolve clots
