exam 3: clotting Flashcards
anticoagulation meds
- heparin
- enoxaparin
- warfarin
- apixaban
antiplatelet meds
- aspirin
- clopidogrel
thrombolytic med
alteplase
heparin action
- prevention of thromboembolism
- inactivated thrombin, thus preventing the fibrinogen converting to fibrin
disorders heparin prevents thromboembolisms with
- PE
- MI
- unstable angina
- artificial heart valves
- DVT
- DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation)
why is heparin given SQ/IV?
poorly absorbed in the GI system
heparin s/e
- itching
- chills
- hematoma
- epistaxis
- hematuria
major s/e of heparin
- anemia
- bone fractures
- osteoporosis
- GI bleeding
- hemorrhage
- thrombocytopenia
heparin antidote
protamine sulfate
pt education for heparin
avoid large amounts of green leafy vegetables d/t vitamin k
enoxaparin action
- prevention of VTE, DVT, or PE
- treatment of DVT with or without PE
enoxaparin BBW
administering two heparin products concomitantly can result in serious harm or death
common s/e of enoxaparin
- bleeding
- hematoma
- fever
- anemia
- peripheral edema
- elevated liver enzymes
major s/e of enoxaparin
- hemorrhage
- hematuria
enoxaparin contraindications
- stroke
- peptic ulcers
- hypersensitivity to pork
- active bleeding
enoxaparin nursing considerations
- should not be given to eye, brain or spinal surgery pts
- do not expel the air in the syringe
pt education for enoxaparin
avoid large amounts of green leafy vegetables, coffee, tea
warfarin action
inhibits hepatic synthesis of vitamin k clotting factors
warfarin indication
prevention of thrombophlebitis, PE, and embolism formation r/t stroke
common s/e of warfarin
- nausea
- GI cramping
- ecchymosis
- h/a
major s/e of warfarin
- black tarry stool
- hemorrhage
BBW for warfarin
crosses placenta
may cause fetal fatality from hemorrhage
