Hemostasis & Coagulation Flashcards
What are the primary steps of hemostasis?
- Vascular spasm
- Formation of the platelet plug
- Fibrin formation
steps of platelet plug formation
adhesion
activation
aggregation
adhesion
-dependent on factor VIII:v (vWF)
-GpIb receptor on platelet attaches to vWF on endothelium
-vWF is released from endothelial cells
activation
-thrombin combines with thrombin receptor on platelet
-platelet changes shape and releases mediators (ADP, Thromboxane A2, serotonin)
prostacycline
causes vasodilation
thromboxane A2
causes vasoconstriction
aggregation
-ADP & thromboxane A2 uncovers GpIIb/IIIa receptors
-fibrin links platelets together
-clot is water-soluble
secondary hemostasis
-fibrin is key player
-involves the extrinsic, intrinsic, and final common pathways along with all 12 clotting factors
-makes clot water insoluble
clotting factors made in the liver
1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
clotting factors not made in the liver
3-vascular wall of extravascular cell membranes
4- diet
8v (vWF)- vascular endothelial cells
clotting cascade
formation and cross-linking of fibrin to stabilize the clot
intrinsic pathway initiation
injury to the inside of the blood vessel
intrinsic pathway factor cascade
12-11-9-8
twelvE > EleveN > NinE > EighT
intrinsic pathway drug
Heparin
Intrinsic = I = IV (route of administration of Heparin)
intrinsic pathway labs
aPTT & ACT
extrinsic pathway initiation
injury occurring outside the blood vessel
extrinsic pathway factor cascade
3-7
*warfarin is cheap aka 37 cents
*3+7=10 (10 starts final common pathway)
intrinsic pathway drug
Coumadin
Extrinsic = E = esophagus (route of administration of Coumadin)
extrinsic pathway labs
PT & INR
final common pathway initiation
factor 8 intrinsic or factor 7 extrinsic
