Ex3 Anticoagulants Flashcards
Big offender in bleeding disorders
herbals: garlic, fish oil, ginko
Disorders of Hemostasis: definition
increased risk of bleeding
Prothrombotic states: definition
increased risk for clotting
HIT
prothrombotic state
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
prothrombotic state
DIC
prothrombotic state AND disorder of hemostasis
Liver disease
prothrombotic state AND
disorder of hemostasis
Hemophilias
disorder of hemostasis
Von Wilibrand disease
disorder of hemostasis
Factor 8 low
Vitamin K dependent clotting factors
Factors 2, 7, 9, 10
Vitamin K deficiency
disorder of hemostasis
Heparin MOA
Binds to antithrombin III
–>inhibits fxn factors
LMWH differs from UFH
More specific for inhibition of Xa
Renal excretion
UFH differs from LMWH
quick on, quick off, metabolized via endothelium
T/F: heparins & warfarin are dialyzable
False
UFH advantages
short half life, renal dysfxn does not impact clearance, antidote available
UFH disadvantages
frequent lab monitoring, HIT
LMWH advantages
no lab monitoring needed
LMWH disadvantages
Cannot be fully reversed
Renal elimination
Tx for HIT
direct thrombin inhibitors
Bivalrudin/Argatroban
aPTT is effected by
UFH
not affected by LMWH
Lab monitoring used in CABG
ACT
Anti-factor Xa Lab Test
- both LMWH/UFH
- most often for LMWH
- UFH: used for heparin resistance
DOC: UFH reversal
protamine
Protamine contraindications
-fish allergy
Protamine adverse effects
- Anaphylaxis (fish allergy, vasectomy, pt on NPH)
- acute pulm vasoconstriction, hypotension, bradycardia
- slow infusion
Protamine dose
1 mg protamine reverses 100 units UFH IV
Protamine dose based on
UFH over past 2-3 hours
Max protamine
50 mg in 10 minutes
