Hematology Week 1: Secondary Homeostasis Flashcards
Secondary Hemostasis AKA
Coagulation
Primary hemostasis
- platelet plug formation platelets adhere to collagen in the subendothelium and become activated
- forms surface for coagulation reactions
- localizes fibrin formation at the injury site
Secondary Hemostasis
Coagulation formation
Fibrin Clot formation
Overall system of Vascular injury
1st vasoconstriction
2nd exposure of sub-endothelial (collagen)
3rd exposure of tissue factor
Key points of secondary hemostasis
Without platelets
coagulation reactions cannot occur
Coagulation factors
Factor VI was removed because it is the active form of factor V
Textbook representation of coagulation
Physiologic pathway of coagulation
FVIIa activates
FX
FIX
FXI activates
FIX
Activators of FIX
FVIIa
FXI
FIX in complex with FVIII Activates
FX
massive amplification
FXa in complex with FV activates
Prothrombin to Thrombin
massive amplification
Integrated Mass Activation Process of Hemostasis: First Minute & Second Minute
Integrated Mass Activation Process of Hemostasis: 2-20 minutes and Hours-days
No factor XIII
No crosslinking of fibrin by factor XIII so will clot fine but then the clot will break open

Severe knee bleeding
Identify
knee fusion from knee bleeding and not walking or moving it
Identify
bleeding in the abdomen’s surface
Coagulation Lab Values
Pre-Analytical Variables
How the blood is collected, processed and stored can produce erroneous results
