Hemostasis Flashcards
steps in hemostasis
1) blood vessels constrict to slow blood flow
2) platelets aggregate and stick to injured area and to each other
3) coag factors reinforce platelet plug with fibrin clot
4) removal of excess hemostatic material re-establishes integrity
function of vascular system in hemostasis
vasoconstriction, diversion of blood flow, initiate contact with platelets and coag proteins
function of platelets in hemostasis
formation of platelet plug to stop initial bleeding

product recommended for decreased angle and increased K
cryo
product recommended for increased R
FFP
symptoms of vitamin K deficiency
easy bruising oozing from nose or gums excessive bleeding heavy periods bleeding from GI tract blood in urine/stool
coag test that measures time it takes for plasma to clot once thromboplastin and calcium are added
prothrombin time
PT measures what pathway?
extrinsic and common
coag test used to monitor warfarin therapy
PT
conditions with prolonged PT
warfarin therapy vitamin K deficiency liver disease acquired or hereditary factor deficiency factor inhibitor drugs or antibodies
coag test that measures times it takes for plasma to clot once activator reagent is added
activated partial thromboplastin time
PTT measures deficiencies in what pathway
intrinsic and common
PT reference range
11-13.5 seconds
PTT reference range
30-40 seconds
coag test used to monitor heparin therapy
PTT
conditions with prolonged PTT
heparin therapy
circulating inhibitors
decreases in circulating levels of II, IX, X in patients on oral anticoagulants
precursor to fibrin which is necessary for clot formation
fibrinogen/factor I
enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin
thrombin
normal fibrinogen level
200-400 mg/dl
how is fibrinogen level measured
excess thrombin added to plasma and clotting time measured
clotting time inversely proportional to fibrinogen concentration
test that measures conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin
thrombin time
normal thrombin time
15-25 seconds
reasons for prolonged thrombin time
low fibrinogen
impaired fibrinogen function
thrombin inhibitors
multiple myeloma
test to aid in determining cause of abnormal/prolonged PT or PTT results in which normal fresh plasma is mixed 1:1 with patient plasma
mixing study
if PT/PTT is corrected in a mixing study, the prolong is due to ___
factor deficiency
is PT/PTT is not corrected in a mixing study the prolong is due to ___
potential factor inhibitor
detects how well platelets stick together
Platelet (Ristocetin) aggregation
abnormal ristocetin aggregation due to:
meds that affect platelet function von Willebrand disease liver disease acute leukemia food consumption (caffeine, garlic, ginger)
test to aid in determining cause of abnormal PT/PTT where patient’s plasma is tested with specific factor deficient substrate plasma
factor assay
factors tested using PT methodology when doing factor assays
