A

forms a protective layer on the interior wall of the blood vessel. it has anticoagulant properties. it is the gatekeeper.

DM, sepsis, ischemia, vascular surgery all disrupt it

Q

what is osmotic pressure and what is its primary determinant

A

the pressure of a solution against a semipermeable membrane that prevents water from diffusing across that membrane

-it is a function of the number of osmotically active particles in a solution. not a function of their molecular weights!

…can be purchased for 37 cents
….. if you can’t buy it from $12, you can buy it for $11.98

46
Q

describe the process of fibrinolysis

A

since the clot is a temporary fix - we need a process to break down the clot once the body has healed itself.

plasminogen is a proenzyme that is synthesized in the liver. it is incorporated into the clot but it lays dormant until it is activated. plasmin degreades fibrin into FDP

47
Q

what two enzymes are needed for the converison of plasminogen to plasmin

A

tpa
urokinase

48
Q

what is R time

A

the time it takes for the clot to start forming

normal = 6 - 8 minutes
measures clotting factors
replace with FFP

49
Q

what is K time

A

time it takes for the clot to reach a certain strength

normal = 5 - 7 minutes
measures fibrinogen
replace with cryo

50
Q

what is alpha angle

the rate of fibrin deposition. obviously measures fibrinogen then.

normal = 50 - 60 degrees

treat with cryo

51
Q

what is maximum amplitude

the strength of the clot
normal = 50 - 60 mm

if it is low, treat with ddavp or platelets

52
Q

what is A60

A

height of vertical amplitude 60 minutes after MA

normal = MA5
if it is abnormal, it is due to excess fibrinolysis. treat with txa

53
Q

MOA of heparin

A

it inhibits the intrinsic and final common pathway.

antithrombin III is a naturally occurring anticoagulant that circulates in the plasma. heparin binds to AT and accelerates its anticoagulant activity 1000x

heparin AT complex neutralizes 9, 10, 11,12

54
Q

what drugs can you give to someone who can’t have heparin but need CPB

A

bivalirudin - 2 - 3 hours

Q

name 2 antifibrinolytics and 4 fibrinolytics

A

antifibrinolytic - txa, amicar
*block conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, promote clot formation
fibrinolytic - tPa, urokinase, streptokinase, reteplase, alteplase
*facilitate conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. they break DOWN clots!! (MI, stroke)

57

Blood type = specific glycoproteins present on the erythrocyte cell membrane. They have an antigenic potential.

If an antigen is expressed on the erythrocyte, then there will NOT be an antibody against that specific antigen in the plasma

If an antigen is NOT expressed on the erythrocyte, then there will be an antibody against that specific antigen in the plasma
