Q

How does vWF work?

A

Anchors platelets to collagen layer of damaged subendothelium of vessel.
One end attaches to vessel wall , other end attaches to platelet

Q

When should you suspect Von Willebrand’s disease?

A

Suspect In any person with increased bleeding time despite normal platelet count and normal clot retraction.

Q

What clotting factor promotes fibrin cross-linking?

A

XIII - fibrin stabilizing factor

17
Q

Antithrombin III inhibits what five clotting factors? Which of these is in the intrinsic pathway? What two of these are most profoundly inhibited?

A
  1. II, IX, X, XI, XII
  2. IX, XI, XII
  3. II, X
18
Q

What four clotting factors are Vit K dependent? Which is in the extrinsic pathway?

A
  1. II, VII, IX, X

2. VII

19
Q

How does heparin work?

A

heparin works by increasing antithrombin effectiveness by 1,000 fold or more

20
Q

How does coumadin work?

A

Binds to Vit K receptor in liver and competatively inhibits Vit K which leads to Vit K dependent clotting factors being depressed

21
Q

What anticoagulent affects the intrinsic and final common pathways?

22
Q

What 2 coagulation tests assess the extrinsic pathway?

23
Q

What 2 coagulation tests assess the intrinsic pathway?

24
Q

How does protamine work on heparin? What kind of reaction is this?

A
  1. Protamine (positively charged) binds with heparin (negatively charged).
  2. NEUTRALIZATION REACTION
25
What enzyme is responsible for breaking down fibrin?
Plasmin
26
What two pharmacological agents inhibit plasmin?
Aprotinin (Trasylol) Epsilon (Amicar) ** Both are used in cardiac surgery to slow bleeding
27
Name 3 substances that convert plasminogen to plasmin?
Tpa, Urokinase, Streptokinase
28
When is aprotinin generally used in anesthesia? How does it work?
Used in cardiac surgery. Inhibits plasmin which slows fibrin breakdown and helps decrease surgical blood loss.
29
What is a normal Activated Coagulation Time (ACT)?
80-150 sec
30
What is the best test of primary hemostasis or platelet function?
ACT
31
What is the most common reason for coagulopathy after a massive blood transfusion?
- Stored blood is deficient in platelets and factors V and VIII - Diffuse bleeding during massive transfusion is due to thrombocytopenia
32
What clotting factors are found in FFP?
all clotting factors but NO PLATELETS
33
Cryoprecipitate contains what clotting factors?
VIIIc, VIII-vWF, 1 (Fibrinogen), XIII
34
What are the typical manifestations of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy?
oozing and bleeding while labs show consumption of clotting factors and enhanced fibrinolysis
35
Transfused blood is deficient in what two coagulation factors?
Factors V and VIII
36
What is the most common cause of an isolated elevated PT?
Liver disease
37
How much will 1 unit of platelets increase your platelet count?
5,000 - 10,000
38
How much will 1 unit PRBC increase your hgb and hct?
Hgb - 1% Hct - 3-4% ***remember Hct is usually 3 times higher than your Hgb
39
What are the 3 byproducts of Tumor Lysis Syndrome that will be elevated in the blood?
Potassium Phosphates Uric Acid
