Q

¡ 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.

Q

how do we fix broken small blood vessels

A

¡ 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.

23
Q

what should you monitor when having a patient on heparine

A

for bleeding

24
Q

low molecular weight heparins focus more on what

A

same as heparin, more focus on factor Xa

25
Q

what is the drug class of choice for prevention of DVT

A

low molecular weight heparins

26
Q

warfarin - blocks the synthesis of what clotting factors

A

block the synthesis of clotting factors thrombin, VIIa, IXa, Xa

27
Q

what does warfarin inhibit

A

epoxide reductase

28
Q

what does decreased vitamin K inhibit

A

inhibits the production of active coagulation factors

29
Q

when transitioning from heparin to warfarin therpay, why must drugs be co administered for three days

A

because of the increased risk for bleeding and the anticoagulant affect lasts 4-5daus

30
Q

what should patients avoid when on warfarin

A

vitamin k rich foods

31
Q

why must patients avoid vitamin k foods when on heparin

A

because it reduced the effectiveness of the drug

32
Q

direct acting thrombin inhibitors

A

directly binds to and inhibits thrombin

33
Q

what is approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in clients with atrial fibrillation, DVT and PE

A

direct acting thrombin inhibitors

34
Q

direct acting factor Xa inhibitors inhibit what pathways, and reduce the development of

A

inhibits the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade - reducing thrombin formation and development of thrombi

35
Q

inhibits the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade - reducing thrombin formation and development of thrombi

A

direct acting factor Xa inhibitors

36
Q

what are used for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis

A

direct acting factor Xa inhibtiors

37
Q

what reduces the risk of pulmonary emboli in pt undergoing knee or hip surgery

A

direct acting factor Xa

38
Q

what are more predicatble and require less monitoring, warfarin or direct acting thrombin and factor xa inhibitors

A

direct acting thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors

39
Q

what is contraindictaed in pregnacy and in lactation

A

warfarin

40
Q

common adverse effects of anticoagulant drugs

A

bleeding

41
Q

antiplatelet drugs

A

inhibit platelet aggregation

42
Q

irreversible cycooxygenase inhibitors - aspirin - inhibits the activity and synthesis of what

A

block the activity of COX1 and COX2, inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins - no prostaglandins means no thrombin

43
Q

adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonists

A

irreversibly change the molecular conformation of ADP receptors, so the platelets no longer release the chemical signal, so they cannot form a clot

44
Q

irreversibly change the molecular conformation of ADP receptors, so the platelets no longer release the chemical signal, so they cannot form a clot

A

ADP receptor antagonists

45
Q

glycoprotien IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists- prevent what?

A

prevents platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, the glycoprotien IIb/iiia are involved in platelet aggregation

46
Q

glycoprotien IIb/IIIa antagonists are reserved for people with waht

A

stroke or MI

47
Q

thrombolytic drugs promote what

A

promote firbinolysis by converting plasminogen into plasmin

48
Q

when are thrombolytic drugs contraindicated

A

with any trauma and bleeding disorders

49
Q

what should you monitor for with thrombolytic drugs

A

cerebral hemorrhage

50
Q

how can the effects be reversed for thrombolytic drugs

A

51
Q

what is aminocapronic acid

A

this is an enzyme inhibtior that inactivates plasmin
