Drugs for Coagulation Disorders Flashcards
Coagulation factors
Intrinsic pathway (PTT): V, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, Prothrombin, Fibrinogen -> PiTT
Extrinsic pathway (PT): V, VII, X, Fibrinogen -> PeT
Mechanism of hemostasis
- Vasoconstriciton
- Formation of platelet plug
- Formation of clot via coagulation
- Fibrous organization
Most common cause of acute MI, ischemic stroke and limb gangrene
Arterial thrombosis
Nonselective, irreversible COX1 and COX2 inhibitor used for prevention of arterial thrombosis and inflamm disorders
AE: Reye syndrome (nausea and vomiting, irritability, confusion, convulsions, LOC), HAGMA
Aspirin
SimD: Salsalate, sodium salicylate
Toxic dose: 150mg/kg
Lethal dose: 500mg/kg
Triad of Aspirin hypersensitivity
Asthma, Aspirin sensitivity, Nasal polyps
Acid-base abnormality in salicylate poisoning
Adults: Respi alkalosis with HAGMA
Children: HAGMA only
Inhibitors vs. Uncouplers
Inhibitors: halt ETC
Uncouplers: dissipate proton gradient, not halt ETC
GPIIB/IIIA inhibitor used to prevent thrombosis, ACS (UA and NSTEMI), also prevents restenosis, reinfarction and death
AE: bleeding, thrombocytopenia
Abciximab
SimD: Eptifibatide, Tirofiban
Irreversible ADP inhibitor used to prevent and treat arterial thrombosis (stroke, TIA, UA), prevents restenosis and ACS
Clopidogrel
SimD: Ticlodipine, Prasugel
additive effects with aspirin
Phosphodiesterase III inhibitor (antiplatelet) and vasodilator used to prevent thromboembolic complications of cardiac valve replacement, intermittent claudication and ischemic stroke
AE: Headache, palpitations
Dypridamole
SimD: Cilostazol - contraindicated in HF
has LITTLE or NO BENEFIT
Heparin vs. Warfarin
Heparin: parenteral, affects intrinsic pathway (PTT), activates antithrombin III, site: blood, rapid onset
Hi PRad PiTT! (Heparin, PRotamine sulfate, intrinsic, PTT)
Warfari: oral, affects extrinsic pathway, affects factors 1972 (Vit. K dep factors), site: liver, slow onset
What PeT? (Warfarin, extrinsic, PT)
Anticoagulant (indirect thrombin inhibitor) used in DVT, UA, MI and DOC for anticoagulation during PREGNANCY
Heparin
Antidote: Protamine sulfate
Anticoagulant (indirect thrombin inhibitor) used in DVT, UA, MI, AF and PCI
PTT monitoring NOT required
Protamine sulfate only partially effective
Enoxaparin
SimD: dalteparin, tinzaparin, danaparoid, FONDAPARINUX
LESS RISK OF THROMBOCYTOPENIA
Anticoagulant (direct thrombin inhibitor) used in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and PCA
PTT monitoring needed
Lepirudin
SimD: Desirudin, bivalirudin, argatroban
CAUTION USE FOR PXS WITH RENAL INSUFFICIENCY
NO reversal agent
Anticoagulant (indirect thrombin inhibitor) used in chronic anticoagulation, DVT, AF, valve replacement, EXCEPT in PREGNANCY
AE: WARFARIN-INDUCED SKIN NECROSIS (Prot C and S deficiency), TERATOGEN!
PT monitoring needed
Warfarin
SimD: Dicumarol
Antidote: Vit. K (slow) or FFP (fast)
NARROW therapeutic window
present in MOST RAT POISONS
