Q

COX inhibitors

A

Prevents platelet aggregation
Prevents ADP/ TXA2 activation at top of cell, prevents CA inside the cell, prevents the breakdown of AA - > TXA2
COX specifically stops AA to TXA2

16
Q

What coagulation factors does the liver make?

A

2,7,9,10- pro coagulants
C, S- anti coagulants
All are dependent on Vitamin K to make them functional

17
Q

Anti coagulants

A

Block factor 10 (and 2) in coagulation cascade
Blocks via AT3
Heparin
LMWH
Fondaparinux

17
Q

How common is heparin toxicity, and what are the signs?

A

1-10%
Bleeding
HIT (thrombocytopenia)
ABNM LFT

18
Q

HIT signs and causes

A

Platelet under 100,000 or drop from baseline
1-15% risk, 5% with heparin flush, 10x lower with LMWH
5-15 days after treatment
Caused by antibodies

19
Q

How to diagnose HIT

A

4Ts
Thrombocytopenia, timing of TCP, thrombosis, other causes of TCP
If score over 3, ELISA testing
SRA (serotonin release assays) is gold standard

20
Q

HIT treatment

A

Stop heparin
Administer other anticoagulants
Add allergy to chart
Protamine sulfate?

21
Q

DOACs

A

Direct acting anti coagulants on factor X (XA in name)
Apixiban (xarelto)
Rivoroxiban (eliquis)
Edoxaban

Direct thrombin inhibitors
dabigatran
argatroban
bivalruden

22
Q

Anticoagulants and anesthesia

A

DOAC- d/c doac 4-5 days, but dabigatran is 3-5 days, restart 24-72 h after procedure depending on risk level

23
Q

When can u give activated charcoal when bleeding? what med

A

Dabigatran DOAC
But the antidote is idarucizumab and ciraparantag

24
Q

VKAs

A

Warfarin 2 7 9 10

25
Q

What naturally prevents platelets

A

NO
PG
Protein C, S

26
Q

Fibrinolytics

A

Clot busting- increases plasminogen to plasmin to break down fibrin, and break down fibrinogen so they dont hold clots together
Alteplase
reteplase
tenecteplace
streptokinase
urokinase

27
Q

Thrombolytic major risk and %

A

Hemmorhage 2-4%
ICH 1%

27
Q

When are thrombolytics used

A

PE
DVT
clot on IV catheter
Acute MI

28
Q

How long do fibrinolytics last?

A

7-24h post d/c

29
Q

Who is at risk for sodium citrate toxicity?

A

hypothermia, liver/kidney pt, hypocalcemia

30
Q

Anti coags that can stop factor 10 and 2

A

Via AT3 -Heparin, LMWH, fondaparinux
DOACs- xa- Apixiban (xarelto)
Rivoroxiban (eliquis)
Edoxaban
Direct thrombin inhibitors
dabigatran
argatroban
bivalruden

31
Q

Which are good for arterio vs venous

A

Artery- anti platelet
Venous-
Both- anti coagulants

32
Q

ACS treatment

A

Aspiring COX
