drugs for coagulation disorders Flashcards
what is hemostasis
this is the injury to small vessels
¡ Platelets bind with high affinity to the damaged vessel. Activated platelets release adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thromboxane A2 which stimulate the activation of new platelets, platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction.
hemostasis
how do we fix broken small blood vessels
¡ Platelets bind with high affinity to the damaged vessel. Activated platelets release adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thromboxane A2 which stimulate the activation of new platelets, platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction.
when is the extrinsic pathway activated - what is released from the damaged cells
when outside of the blood vessel, triggered when tissue thromboplastin is released from damaged cells
what is release when the outside of a blood vessel is damaged
tissue thromboplastin is released
what pathway catalyzes the formation of factor Xa
extrinsic pathway
when is the intrinsic pathway triggered
it is triggered when collagen is exposed at the site of vascular injury
what does the common pathway do
synthesis of factor xa
how is clot dissolved
tissue plasminogen activator converts plasminogen to plasmin, dissolving the clot
what is the dissolving of a clot called
firbinolysis
what works to destroy a clot
plasmin
what converts plasminogen to plasmin
tissue plasminogen factor
thromboembolic disorders (3)
formation of non-therapeutic clots
occulsion of srterial vessels
embolus
what leads to MI and CVA
occulsion of arterial vessels
embolus occurs when
a piece of stable thrombi breaks off and lodges in smaller blood vessels
anticoagulant drugs wokr to modulate what and the formation of what
modulate coagulation cascade and thrombin formation
what work to lengthen clotting times and prevent thrombi from forming in the veins
anticoagulant drugs
should you give anticoagulant drugs in cases of MI or CVA
yes, through iv or subcutaneous
heparin catalyzes what
catalyzes the inactivation of thrombin
what enhances the ability of antithrombin III to inactivate thrombin and clotting factor Xa
heparin
when thrombin is inactivated what happens
no fibrin = no clotting
what is heparin used for the prevention of what
used for the prevention of venous throbosis, PE, DIC, MI and stroke
