16
Q

Thrombolytic agents

A

urokinase (abbokinase)
streptokinase (streptase)
alteplase (activase)

17
Q

contraindications for thrombolytic agents

A

any condition that will be worsened by the dissolution of clots.

18
Q

Actions for urokinase

A

converts endogenous plasminogen to plasmin, which breaks down fibrin clots, fibrinogen and other plasma proteins, lyses thrombi and emboli.

19
Q

Indications for urokinase

A

lysis of pulmonary emboli or pulmonary emboli w/ unstable hemodynamics in adults.

20
Q

Pharmo for urokinase

A
Route- IV
Onset- immediate
Peak- end of injection
Dx- NA
T 1/2 unknown, metabolized in plasma; excretion method unk.
21
Q

Adverse effects for urokinase

A

HA, anigoneurotic edema, hypotension, skin rash, bleeding, breathing difficulties, bronchospasm, pain, fever, anaphylatic shock.

22
Q

Nursing considerations for thrombolytic agents

A

d/c heparin before administering thrombolytic, bleeding precautions, monitor coagulation studies, assess for blood loss, monitor cardiac rhythm if given for MI,

23
Q

Low weight molecular heparin

A

enoxaparin (Lovenox)

24
Q

Special info on Lovenox

A

does not affect thrombin, clotting, or PT. Block angiogensis, the process that allows cancer cells to develop new blood vessels, used to prevent clot formation s/p surgery or prolonged bed rest- all orho pts. need to rotate the site on the ABD. Leave air bubble in the drug. AE= fever, nausea.

25
Q

Antihemophilic Agents

A

antihemophilic factor (Bioclate)

26
Q

Actions for antihemophilic factor

A

normal plasma protein that is needed for the transformation of prothrombin to thrombin, the final step in the clotting pathway.

27
Q

Indications for antihemophilic factor

A

treat of classic hempophilia to provide temporary replacement of clotting factors to correct or prevent bleeding episodes or to allow necessary surgery.

28
Q

pharmo for antihemophilic factor

A
Route- IV
Onset- immediate
Peak- unk
dx- unk
T 1/2- 12hr; cleared by normal protein metabolism.
29
Q

Adverse effects for antihemophilic factor

A

Allergic rxn, sting at injection site, HA, rash, chills Nausea, hepatitis, AIDS.

30
Q

nursing considerations for antihemphilic factor

A

monitor clotting factor levels, type and cross match blood, safety.

31
Q

Hemostatic agents

A

aminocaproic acid (Amicar)

32
Q

Actions of aminocaproic Acid

A

inhibits plasminogen activator substance and has antiplasmin activity that inhibits fribrinolysis and prevents the breakdown of clots.

33
Q

Indication for amiocaproic acid

A

treat excessive bleeding resulting from hyperfribrinolysis; prevent recurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage, for management of megakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, to decrease the need for platelet administration, and to abort and treat attacks of hereditary angioneurotic edema.

34
Q

Pharmo for aminocapric acid

A
route- oral, IV (systemic) topical is used when surface damage involves so many vessels that clotting can't occur. 
onset- rapid, immediate
peak- 2 h, minutes
dx- unk, 2-3 h
T1/2- 2 hr, excreted unchanged in urine.
35
Q

Adverse effects for aminocapric acid

A

dizziness, tinnitus, HA, weakness, Hypotension, Nausea, cramps, diarrhea, fertility problems, malaise, elevated serum CPK.
Systemic- too much clotting, psychotic states
Topical- risk for infection.

36
Q

D2D for amiocapric acid

A

systemic- oral contraceptives or estrogen

topical- none
