hemeonc Flashcards
hemeocn
lowers the activity of thrombin and factor Xa
heparin (short half life)
use of heparin:
immediate anticoagulation for pulm embolism, acute coronary syndrome, MI, DVT
heparin or warfarin in pregnancy
heparin (does not cross placenta)
this drug prolongs PTT
heparin
SE of heparin
bleeding, thrombocytopenia (HIT), osteoporosis, drug-drug interactions
rapid reversal of heaprin use:
protamine sulfate (pos charged molecule to bind neg charged heparan)
heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
development of IgG ab against heparin bound platelet factor 4 (PF4).
antibody heparin PF4 complex activates platelts
HIT (thrombosis and thrombocytopenia)
LMW heparins
enoxaparin, dalteparin)
which heparins act predominantly on factor Xa
enoxaparin, dalteparin
fondaparinux acts only on
factor Xa
which has better bioaviality and a 2-4x longer half life. lmw heparin or unfractionated hparin
low molecular weight hpearin
direct thrombin inhibitors inlcude
bivalirudin, argatroban, dabigatran
the only oral in the direct thrombin inhibitor class is
dabigatrin
Use of direct thrombin inhibitors
Venous thromboembolism
atrial fibrilatiion
HIT
how do you reverse dabigatran
idarucizumab
if no reversal agent avaible for dabigatran, use
PCC, and/or antifibrinolytics (eg tranexamic acid)
serious side effect of direct thrombin inhibitor
bleeding
how does enoxparin function
binds ATIII via pentasaccharide sequence. once activated, ATIII binds to facotr Xa and strips factor Xa from converting protrhombin to thrombin
