Hemodynamic Disorders: Hemostasis Flashcards
normal hemostasis includes
- platelets
- endothelium
- plasma clotting factors
function of platelets
- maintenance of vascular integrity
- platelet plug formation
- platelet phospholipid complex expression (leads to promotion of coagulation cascade)
- promotion of endothelial repair
name 2 platelet inhibitors
- cyclooxygenase inhibitors (aspirin)
2. ADP receptor antagonists (ticlopidine and clopidogrel)
what are other platelet inhibitors
- phosphodiesterase inhibitors (dipyridamole)
2. glycoprotein (GP) IIB/IIIa receptor antagoinsts
mechanism of phophodiesterase inhibitors
increases [ ] of cAMP and cGMP
function of endothelium
- metabolic transfer
- barrier functions
- synthesis of mediators of interactions between endothelium and blood components
- thomboresistance - prevents clotting
- mediation of vascular repair
examples of endothelial thromboresistance
- heparin-like molecules
- PGI2 and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis
- plasminogen activation
- ADP degradation
- thrombin inactivation
- thrombomodulin production
- protein S synthesis
where do heparin-like molecules act at
at interface of endothelial cells and plasma
function of heparin-like molecules
activate antithrombin III
activated antithrombin II cleaves
thrombin, factors Xa and IXa
what is thrombomodulin
endothelial surface protein
thrombomodulin is a receptor for
thrombin
thrombomodulin binds thrombin and coverts it to an
activator of protein C
activated protein C (APC) cleaves factors
VA and VIIIa
protein S is a cofactor for
activated protein C
other functions of activated protein C
- contributes to significant reduction of mortality in patients with severe sepsis
- attenuates various deleterious events induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
activated protein C has associated —- and — effects
anti-inflammatory
profibrinolytic
activated protein C inhibits
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production
events initiated by endothelial disruption
- vasoconstriction (neurogenic, endothelin)
- platelet adhesion and aggression
- release of TxA2
- initiation of coagulation
- fibrinolysis
what are the 3 distinct phases of the newest representation
- initiation
- propagation
- termination
what are initiation
-chemical or mechanical damage to tissue
function of initiation
- exposes tissue factor (TF) to the plasma circulation
- induces TF expression by monocytes, activated endothelium
Tissue factors interacts with a small amount of
preexistant factor VIIa in the plasma
interaction of TF and preexistant factor VIIa form
extrinsic tenase (TF/VIIa/IX/X) on a phospholipid surface
