Q

benefit of ticagrelor

A

BID
faster shorter so quicker reversibility if you have to take the patient to surgery.

Q

What is the risk with unfractioned heparin?

A

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
decreased platelets when heparin binds to platelet, body immune system destroys it

Under 100K worry, Under 50K bad

Q

How is LMWH administered? Eliminated?

A

SQ

Renal elimination

17
Q

Whats the benefit of LMWH?

A

more predictable

18
Q

Use caution in what patients for LMWH?

A

> 150 kg, standard dose not standard

Pregnant patients- more likely to cross placenta

19
Q

What is LMWH antidote?

A

IV Protamine

*only blocks 60% of anti Xa activity

20
Q

What is Nesiritide used for? Administered how? Caution with what? What is it?

A

IV
Acute decompensated CHF with dyspnea at rest
Peptide so do not shake preparation
B-type natriuretic peptide analogue, so increases concentration of peptides

21
Q

How does dopamine effect the body? 3 things

A
Renal artery vasodilation (increases urine)
B1 agonist (treat bradycardia, CHF)
A1 agonist (vasoconstricts, treat hypotension)

positive inotrope

22
Q

What are doses for R B A?

A

2-5 mcg/kg/min
5-10 mcg/kg/min
>10 mcg/kg/min

23
Q

What is dobutamine? used for what?

A

B1 agonist

decompensated CHF

24
Q

Glycoprotein IIB & IIIA antagonists are administered how?

A

UV

25
Q

Glycoprotein IIB & IIIA antagonists do what?

A

Block the FINAL common pathway to platelet aggregation

26
Q

Are GP IIB / IIIA antagonissts more or less potent that ASA or clopidogrel?

A

MORE

ASA- cox
Clopidogrel- ADP

these block both

27
Q

Indications for GP IIb/IIIa antagonists?

A

Acute coronary syndrome

Adjuncts in Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty

28
Q

What is risk with GP IIb/IIIa antagonists?

A

bleeding

29
Q

What is the purpose of plasminogen activators?

A

dissolve acute thrombi

30
Q

What is plasmin?

A

potent endogenous fibrinolytic enzyme (dissolves clots)

31
Q

TPAs dissolve what?

A

normal and pathologic thrombi

32
Q

TPAs are an alternative to what?

A

angioplasty

33
Q

How is TPA administered?

A

IV bolus or continuous infusion

Earlier administration is best (within 4h of onset)

34
Q

Contraindications for TPA?

A
Intercranial hemorrhage
Intercranial trauma
Brain tumors
Major surgeries in last 30 days of thorax/abdomen
major GI bleeding

these patients will bleed out

35
Q

TPA precautions in what patients?

A

pregnancy
recent surgery
HTN (>180 or >100)
Advanced age

36
Q

What do TPAs end in?

A

“-eplase”

except for streptokinase
