18
Q

DIC

A

Presents as a microangiopathic hemolytic anemia that progresses to SOB, respiratory failure, **RENAL FAILURE, circulatory shock (all related to hypoxia of areas affected)

-Can originate from meningococcemia, APML, Adenocarcinoma, placenta abruption, massive tissue injury

Labs: Decreased platelets, fibrinogen
Prolonged PTT and PT
Increased D-dimer
PB: Schistocytes, reticulocytosis, leukocytosis, left shift, thrombocytopenia

*Can cause Waterhouse-Friedrichson Syndrome (meningococcemia) and Sheehan Syndrome along w/ thrombi affecting other areas

19
Q

Sheehan Sydrome

A

Postpartum pituitary necrosis; can be caused by DIC

20
Q

SIRS

A

“Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome”

Exaggerated response of a local inflammatory reaction mediated by TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6 and excessive endothelial cell activation

-Diagnosed by two or more signs of the following: fever, tachcardia, tacypnea, leukocytosis, leukopenia

21
Q

Trigger for septic shock

A

Bacterial products that activate TLRs on PMNs

22
Q

Endothelial Cell Activation during Septic Shock

A

3 major effects

  1. Thrombosis (DIC)- Inflammatory mediators stimulate PAI-1 and TF prod.; also decrease TFPI, Protein C, thrombomodulin
  2. Increased Vascular Permeability- Increases interstitial fluid decreasing the amount of fluid available to the tissues =» hypoxia
  3. Vasodilation- Increased NA and TXA2
23
Q

Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (Shock)

A

Can be induced by septic shock when decreased perfusion of the heart =» decreased contractility =» increased pulmonary edema =» lung damage

*Septic shock also damages the kidneys, liver, lungs

24
Q

Stages of Shock

A

Nonprogressive- Tissue perfusion is maintained after reflex mechanisms compensate (SIRS)

Progressive- Worsening circulator and metabolic imbalances cause acidosis and organ/tissue damage

Irreversible- Extent of tissue damage is too bad and pt. is done for

25
Q

Treatment of Septic Shock

A

Control fluid infection

Vasopressors

Insulin therapy (for induced hyperglycemia and insulin resistance)

Protein C (decrease thrombosis)

Anti-inflammatories

Corticosteroids

26
Q

Heparin

A

Reversibly binds to ATIII at an Arg-Ser residue (Coag factors irreversibly bind); must be given IV or subcutaneous injection (IM causes hematoma)

-Also increases LPL activity =» lipid clearance

Indications: Venous thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism; **can be given in pregnancy

-Can cause Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

27
Q

Protamine

A

Heparin antidote that binds and disables activity

-May be cross-allergic w/ NPH insulin and fish allergies

28
Q

Enoxaparin (Daltaparin, Tinzaparin)

A

LMW heparin that is too small to simultaneously bind ATIII and thrombin; is as safe and effective as unfractionated heparin

*Used in pregnant women AND with outpatients

Indications: Prophylaxis and acute thromboembolism

29
Q

Fondaparinaux

A

Works the same as enoxaparin (specific inactivation of Factor Xa after binding ATIII; is a pentasaccharide synthetic

Indications: Prophylaxis and acute DVT

*Used in pregnant women

30
Q

Warfarin

A

Inhibits the synthesis of BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE Vitamin-K dependent factors (they are still present tho); does not inhibit clotting in vitro

Indication: Arterial thromboembolism from A-fib prophylactic; post-op on prosthetic heart valves; venous thromboembolism; pulmonary embolism

⭐️DOC ORAL ANTICOAGULANT
Therapeutic INR goal= 2.0-3.0 (+.5 for heart valve replacement)

Drugs that increase effect: Ketoconazole, cephalosporin, Bactrim, cimetidine

…decrease effect: **Rifampin, cholestyramine, penobarbitol, cigarettes
*CYP2C9 mutations, VKORC

31
Q

Warfarin during pregnancy

A

1st trimester =» nasal hypoplasia

Later=» CNS issues/death

⭐️used in pts. w/ possible HIT

33
Q

Dagibatran

A

Pro-form of argibatran (directly inhibits ATIII); pro-drug converted to active form by plasma esterases

-Has less drug interactions as it does not react w/ CYP2C9 but it is a substrate for p-glycoprotein

Indications: Prevention of thrombotic stroke; prevention of stroke due to A-fib

***NO ANTIDOTE =» CAUTION W/ DECREASED RENAL FNXN

34
Q

Dipyridamole

A

Inhibits platelet PDE =» Increased cAMP levels
=»inhibition of platelet aggregation

-Commonly used alongside Warfarin

35
Q

Ticlopidine/Clopidogrel

CLOPY

A

Binds irreversibly to the ADP P2Y12 receptor (platelets need this and another ADP receptor to activate the GpIIIb-IIa complex)
-form disulfide links on a CYS residue

Indications: Reduced risk of stroke; (clopidogrel) acute coronary syndrome

*Ticoplidine ARs include: agranulocytosis, life-threatening thrombocytopenia

=»Clopidogrel PREFERRED

36
Q

Cangrelor

A

Reversibly binds to ADP P2Y12 receptor on platelets; very brief half-life

37
Q

Abciximab/Eftifibatide

A

Ab that binds the IIb/IIIa receptor; competitive reversible inhibition used w/ unstable angina or angioplasty procedures

  • Abciximab has 24hr half life and much stronger anticoagulant
  • Do not use w/ bleeding, Warfarin, thrombocytopenia, surgery
38
Q
