hematology and anesthesia-naglehout 34 Flashcards
1) where is intima of vessel wall
2) what does it secrete
1) inner layer separates flowing blood from endothelial wall
2) procoagulants, anticoagulants, and fibrinolytics
describe von willibrand factor
important mediator that is a necessary cofactor for adherence of platelets to subendothelial layer
describe tissue factor
activates clotting cascade path when injury to vessel occurs
describe 2 mediators that cause vasoconstriction
1)thromboxane A2, 2)adenosine diphosphate
describe 2 mediators that cause vasodilation
nitric oxide and prostacyclin
how might an endothelial cell suppress activation of coagulation system
expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor
what is the most important, simpelist function of the endothelial lining
forms a barrier that separates fluid content of blood from thrombogenic material (collagen, procoagulants) that lies beneath and within subendothelial space
the endothelial lining repels blood components away from vessel wall
describe the subendothelial layer
highly thrombogenic, contains collagen, a stimulus for platelet adhesion to damaged vessel wall and fibronectin, which facilitates anchoring of fibrin during formation of platelet plug
describe the adventitia
control of blood flow by influencing vessel contraction, produces nitric oxide (vasodilator)
describe the role of nitric oxide
inhibits platelet adhesion, aggregation, and binding of fibrinogen between glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex
causes vasodilation by nitric oxide synthase which increases guanilate cyclase producing a 2nd messenger guanylate monophosphate, causing smooth muscle relaxation causing increase in blood flow which limits procoagulants by washing them away
describe prostacyclin
from prostaglandin, causes vasodilation, interferes with platelet aggregation and formation
describe the normal platelet count and lifespan of a platelet
150-300,000 8 -12 days
7.1x10^3 used each day
what do platelet alpha granules store
vWF, fibrinogen, fibronectin, platelet factor 4, and platelet growth factor
what do dense granules of platelet store
non proteins-serotonin ADP ATP histamine, epinephrine
what do platelet granules synthesize to enable platelets to promote vascular and local tissue reactions
prostaglandins
why do platelets make thrombin
activate some of the coagulation factors and influence recruitment of platelets to site of injury
after vessel injury from plaque dislodgement, surgical instrumentation, or trauma, what happens next five steps
1) vessel wall contracts, decreases blood flow via thromboxane A2 and ADP
2) adhesion-vWF from endothelial cell emerges, GpIb from platelets attach to vWF, and call other platelets to site of injury 3)TF causes platelet to become activated 4)from platelet GpIIb/IIIa emerge to link other platelets to form a platelet plug 5)platelets release alpha and dense granules, contractile granules, and thrombin to promote procoagulant activity
* this platelet plug is unstable, if this does not control issue activation of coagulation cascade is next
what coagulation factors are not enzymes? what is another word for coagulation factors
factor V, VIII
zygomens
how is extrinsic pathway activated, what is another name for it, and what are factors in it
- activated by release of tissue factor when injury occurred outside the vessel wall
- tissue factor pathway
- III(tissue factor aka thromboplastin) and VII (proconvertin)
describe extrinsic pathway 8 steps
1)damage occurs outside of blood vessels, 2)tissue factor(III) converts proconvertin (VII) to activated VIIa. 3)VIIa activates factor X (stuart power factor) of common pathway which 4)forms a complex with factor V (proaccelerin) 5)activating factor II (prothrombin) which when active becomes 6)thrombin (IIa). 7)Thrombin activates factor I (fibrinogen) to form 8)activated fibrinogen (Ia)
describe the intrinsic pathway (contact activation pathway)
1)injury within blood vessel initiates prekallikrein, high molecular weight kininogen and by the activation of factor XII (Hageman factor). in the presence of calcium (factor IV). Factor XII (Hageman) activates facttor XI(plasma thromboplastin antecedent) which activates factor IX(christmas)which activates factor VIII (antihemophilic factor) and merges at the common pathway and activates factor X(stuart power factor) which forms a complex with factor V (proaccelerin) activating factor II (prothrombin) which turns into thrombin IIa (when active) which activates factor I (fibrinogen) to form activated fibrinogen (Ia)
which factor is important for both pathways, intrinsic and extrinsic
conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
thrombin assists in activating factors V(proaccelerin), VIII(antihemophilic factor), I (Fibrin) and XIII(fibrin stabilizing) and influences platelets to area of injury. Ample amounts of thrombin(prothrombin) must be present to activate adequate fibrin to form a stable clot
how does thrombin act as an anticoagulant (3 ways)
1) prevents runaway clot formation by releasing tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) fro endothelial cells
2) stimulates protein C and protein S to stop clot formation
3) forms a relationship with antithrombin II to interfere with coagulation
what is terminal pathway of coagulation cascade
common pathway-factor X is activated by intrinisc and extrinsic pathways, and factor X needs factor V and calcium to contert factor II(prothrombin) to its active state factor IIa(thrombin), and IIa(thrombin) activates factor I(fibrinogen)to its active Ia (fibrin) factor XIII (fibrin stabilizing factor) makes sure platelet plug will hold by forming cross linking mesh in platelet plug, and in conjunction with factor Ia (fibrin) secures a secondary plug until bleeding stops and as it contracts it weaves the vessel together healing the site of injury
Where are most of coagulation proteins synthesized
what about calcium and vWF
in liver
calcium from diet (needed to position clotting factors on surface of platelet so coagulation will occur)
vWF-endothelial cells
what factors are vitamin K dependent
II, VII, IX, X
what is the purpose of the fibrinolytic system
exists to degrade fibrin
what does tissue factor plasma inhibitor do
stops action of tissue factor
what do protein C and S do
inhibit factors III, V and VII
what does antithrombin III do
inhibits thrombin activity by sequestering factors XII(hageman), XI(plasma thromboplastin antecedent), IX(christmas), and X(stuart power), and is a mediator that takes unnecessary clotting factors away so that the clot manufactured is disrupted
what are the primary components of a clot
plasminogen, plasmin, fibrin, and fibrin degredation products
describe plasminogen
enzyme made in the liver, stored in inactive form, when clot is forming, plasminogen incorperates into clot, and with the assistance of tPA and urokinase plasminogen is activated to plasmin. Plasmin acts on fibrin causing finrin to degrade into fibrin and fibrin degradation products
name two important fibrinolytic mediators that stop process of fibrinolysis when clot has been digested
1)alpha antiplasmin and 2)tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor
questions to ask preoperatively
1)unusual bleeding or bruising 2)istory of previous bleeding with dental procedures 3)history of excess bleeding after a minor procedure or childhood trauma 4)familial bleeding tendancies exist 5)bleeding after surgical procedure that was not anticipated
complaints of hematomas, runaway bruising, oozing
what are possible etiologies of disruptions in hemostasis
1)platelet problem 2)factor deficiency, 3)inherited disorder of coagulation, 4)presence of circulating anticoagulants, or a 5)disturbance of the fibrinolytic system
describe vitamin K
what are the vitamin K factors, what clinical presentations can disrupt vitamin K synthesis
created from bacteria in the gut and necessary for formation of factors II, VII, IX, X
liver issues, malabsorption, failure to secrete bile can disrupt this
Describe aspirin effects on platelets
hold for 7-10 days prior to surgery, aspirin directly affects the life of the platelet by irreversibly inhibiting cyclooxygenase, resulting in decreased platelet function
describe NSAIDs effects on platelets
inhibit cyclooxygenase reversible, hold 24-48 hours to avoid bleeding
what are alternatives to blood transfusions if patient refuses transfusion
erythropoietin, acute normovolemic hemodilution, cell salvage, recombinant factor VII or VIII, and topical coagulants, amicar, TXA
