Q

Primary hemostasis (platelet plug)

A

no injury - nitric oxide and prostaglandin I2 releases which inhibit platelets

INJURY - thromboxane A2 releases which causes vasoconstriction; platelet plug is formed through adhesion, activation, and aggregation of platelets

Q

Adhesion (primary hemostasis)

A
  1. collagen exposed
  2. vonWillebrand factor released and binds to Gplb receptors on the platelet which anchors the platelets of the sub endothelium
  3. platelets bind to the collagen and are activated

Note:
1. desmopressin causes the body to release more vWF
2. FFP and Cryo also help with this step bc they contain vWF and Factor 8

Q

Activation (primary hemostasis)

A
  1. platelets are activated by binding to collagen
  2. the platelets then release thromboxane A2 and ADP which activates other platelets and help with aggregation by allowing glycoproteins on platelets to bind to fibrinogen.
  3. activated platelets will release contents from inside them such as fibrinogen, fibronectin, and vWF.

Q

aggregation (primary hemostasis)

A
  1. activated platelets have 2 glycoproteins on their surface - Gp IIIa and Gp IIb
    together they help aggregate platelets to form a “plug”

Q

Secondary hemostasis / Coagulation Cascade

A

Intrinsic Pathway - begins with damage inside the vessel

extrinsic pathway - begins with damage outside the vessel

once either of these get to factor 10, the common pathway is initiated

eventually leading to formation of fibrinogen

17
Q

Intrinsic pathway

A

damage inside the vessel
blocked by heparin
diagnostic is apTT and ACT
________________________________
factor 12 (hageman) activated from collagen

activates factor 11 (plasma thromboplastin antecedent)

activated factor 9 (christmas) in presence of 4 (calcium)

factor 8 (anti hemophilic) is combined

which activates 10 (stuart-prower)
____________________________________
Note:
heparin blocks the Intrinsic pathway by 1. binding to antithrombin to block thrombin and 2. makes antithrombin work much better to block factors 2 and 9-12
protamine is the heparin reversal

18
Q

extrinsic pathway

A

initiated outside the vessel
blocked by warfarin
diagnostic is PT/INR
_____________________________
factor 3 (tissue factor) activated

activates factor 7 (stable)

which when activated 7 binds to factor 4 (calcium)

which activates 10 (stuart-prower)
___________________________________

Note:
warfarin blocks the extrinsic pathway bc it inhibits vit K from becoming active which in turn prevents 2, 7, 9, and 10

PT/INR measures warfarin effectiveness
12-14 sec Normal
x2 or 3 for warfarin

vit K and FFP are reversals of warfarin
