Q

hemoglobin A structure vs hemoglobin F structure vs beta thalessemia structure vs alpha thalessemia structure?

A

HbA = two alpha chains and two beta chains

Q

Pathogenesis of TRALI?

A

DONOR antibodies activate RECIPIENT leukocytes –> sequestration of granulocytes in the lungs coupled with anti-leukocyte antibodies from the donor blood products –> noncardiogenic pulmonary edema

Q

abnormal K value on TEG indicates what problem? treatment?

A

INCREASED length of TIME to reach designated clot strength due to decreased fibrinogen – give cryo

Q

Mechanism of action of TXA?

A

Prevents conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, thereby reducing fibrin degradation

**avoid in patients with preexisting thromboembolic disease

Q

What to do if active bleeding in setting of hemophilia but resistant to cryo?

A

give activated factor II and/or activated factor VII so that dysfunctional factor VIII (due to anti-factor VIII antibodies) is bypassed.

Another option is PORCINE factor VIII.

Q

How does liver disease, cystic fibrosis and warfarin change PTT?

A

prolonged

17
Q

What does PT measure?

A

Coagulation initiated by tissue factor until formation of fibrin. Mainly the extrinsic pathway ( I, II, V, VII, and X) and common clotting pathway

think “PET”

18
Q

What does PTT measure?

A

VIII, IX, XI, XII

19
Q

In acute hemorrhage, which coagulation factor will reach a critically low level first?

A

Fibrinogen! (after loss of about 1.5 blood volumes)

Other coagulation factors typically reach critical levels after about 2-2.5 blood volumes

20
Q

Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction is in response to what? Coombs test will be _____. Hemolysis will be located ______.

A

Acute hemolytic transfusion is in response to ABO compatibility.

Coombs test is negative.

Hemolysis will be intravascular mediated by IgM antibodies (as opposed to IgG antibodies in delayed reactions).

21
Q

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions are mediated by which type of antibodies? Hemolysis occurs where?

A

Delayed reactions are mediated by IgG antibodies to lesser antigens like Lewis, Kidd, Kell and Duffy

Hemolysis occurs in the reticuloendothelial system (versus intravascular for acute reactions to ABO incompatibility)

22
Q

What causes refractory Hemophilia A? Lifesaving treatment?

A

Due to antibodies against Factor VIII - give prothrombin complex concentrates or recombinant factor VII

23
Q

What causes refractory Hemophilia B? Lifesaving treatment?

A

Due to antibodies against Factor IX - give recombinant factor VIIa

24
Q

PT, PTT, bleeding time and platelet count in Hemophilia?

A

PT normal

PTT PROLONGED

Bleeding time normal

Platelet count normal

25
Q

PT, PTT, bleeding time and platelet count in VWD?

A

PT normal

PTT PROLONGED

Bleeding time PROLONGED

Platelet count normal

26
Q

PT, PTT, bleeding time and platelet count in DIC?

A

PT prolonged

PTT prolonged

Bleeding time prolonged

Platelet count decreased

27
Q

PT, PTT, bleeding time and platelet count in Vitamin K deficiency?

A

PT prolonged

PTT prolonged

Bleeding time normal

Platelet count normal

28
Q

Anesthetic goals in acute intermittent porphyria?

A

Avoid p450 inducers which will lead to INCR aminolevulinic acid -→ precipitate attacks

So avoid:

  • barbs
  • benzos
  • nifedipine
  • glucocorticoids
  • alcohol
  • dehydration

Keep normothermic!

29
Q

What does prothrombin complex contain?

A

II, VII, IX, and X

INR can be normalized within 15-30 minutes without adding substantial volume of fluid to circulation
