62
Q

What does the clot contain once it is interwoven with the fibrin (Factor Ia) from the coagulation cascade?

A

Meshwork entraps blood cells, platelets, and plasma

63
Q

What occurs in the clot once the coagulation cascade has worked?

A

Platelets activate contractile proteins: thrombosthenin, actin, myosin. Causes stronge shrinkage and clot contraction.

64
Q

What is the purpose of the clot contraction?

A

The clot sealed the open vessel and the contraction brings the open edges together to increase hemostasis

65
Q

What causes clot fibrinolysis during the fibrinolytic phase?

A

Plasmin (a plasma protein)

66
Q

Plasmin is an activated form of what?

A

Plasminogen

67
Q

Where is plasminogen (inactive form of plasmin) intitially?

A

68
Q

How is plasminogen activated to Plasmin within the clot to begin fibrinolysis?

A

Converted via tissue plasminogen activator, t-PA

69
Q

What releases t-PA to activate plasminogen in the clot to plasmin to cause fibrinolysis?

A

Released slowly from injured vessel and tissue so it accumulates over a few days then activates plasminogen to plasmin

70

A
  1. Fibrin fibers
  2. Prothrombin (Factor 2)
  3. Factor 5
  4. Factor 8 (intrinsic)

Bleeding time test

92
Q

What is the upper limit of normal bleeding time?

A

7.5 minutes

93
Q

Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) measure what 2 parts of the coagulation cascade?

A

Intrinsic and common

94
Q

Prothrombin time (PT) measures what part of the coagulation cascade?

A

Extrinsic and common

95
Q

Why does the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) only measure the intrinsic and common pathway?

A

Because factor 7 (extrinsic) and Factor 13 are not detected

96
Q

What is mixed with the plasma sample to get the PTT to measure the prothrombin time?

A

Phospholipid (phospholipid binds with Fact 10 and Factor 5 in the common pathway to get prothormbin activator complexa nd eventually fibrin. Intrinsic pathway must work (12 to 11 to 9 and 8 and PF3) to get a clot. The speed at which this occurs measures the ability of the intrinsic and the common pathways

97
Q

28-34 seconds

98
Q

What patients would show a prolonged PTT?

  2. DIC (Diffuse Intravascular Coagulation)
  3. Fibrinogen dysfunction (common pathway)
  4. Heparin Use (anticoagulant)
99
Q

Prothrombin time (PT) screens for abnormalities in what factors?

A

7 (extrinsic)
10 (common)
5 (common)
2 (common = Thrombin)

100
Q

What patients would a PT be used to screen?

A
  1. Warfarin patients
  2. Liver damage (where 7 and thrombin are made)
  3. Vitamin K deficiency (Vitamin K is required for Factor 2 Thrombin)
101
Q

What is a normal range for PT?

A

10-12 seconds

102
Q

Why use PTT to measure a Heparin patient and PT to measure a Warfarin patient when both patients are taking an anticoagulant?

A

Heparin inactivates thrombin (Factor II common path) and also Factors 9 (intrinsic), 10 (common), 11 (intrinsic), and 12 (intrinsic) and prevents conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin (common). Only acting on the common pathway, so must test with PTT. Warfarin/Coumadin depletes Vitamin K which reduces synthesis of clotting factors in the liver that require Vitamin K (2 (common) 7(extrinsic), 9(intrinsic), and 10 (common)). Therefore, the extrinsic and common path is indicated as 7 is affected and the only test that reads Factor 7 is PT.

103
Q

What is the international normalized ratio (INR)?

A

INR = (patient’s protime / mean of normal range)

104
Q

What surgical therapy can be done on a patient with INR less than 3.5?

A

Single extraction with local measure (pack with gel foam, suture, maybe topical thrombin)

105
Q

107
Q

If a patient is taking Coumadin or Warfarin, has liver disease (think Vitamin K problem and factor synthesis problem) or has a vitamin malabsorption problem, what lab test should be ordered before performing surgery?

A

PT/INR (PT norm is 10-12 seconds, desired INR is ????????)

108
Q

If a patient was given Heparin IV in the hospital or takes Pradaxa, or has Von Willebrand’s disease, what lab test should be ordered before performign surgery?

A

115
Q

When is the danger with coagulation for a Hemophilia patient?

A

Hours after an extraction. They formed a platelet plug but lack factor 8 (Hemophilia A) or factor 9 (Hemophilia B) meaning the platelet plug will not be stabilized by fibrin and the patient will start to bleed again

116

A 
Hemophilia A (factor 8 deficiency) 1:5k to 10k
Hemophilia B (factor 9 deficiency) 1:2.5k to 30K
117
Q

Non-thrombocytopenic purpura bleeding disorders have to do with what?
