HEMOSTASIS SURGICAL BLEEDING TRANSFUSIONS Flashcards

Q

hemostatic process

A
  • Process involves interaction between blood vessel wall, platelets, and coagulation proteins
  • When systems coordinate, a clot is laid down initially to stop bleeding, followed by eventual clot lysis and tissue remodeling.
  • Abnormal bleeding can result from diminished thrombin generation (eg, due to factor VIII deficiency) or enhanced clot lysis (eg, due to alpha-2-antiplasmin deficiency).
  • Conversely, excessive production of thrombin can lead to thrombosis
    ⦁ decreased clot formation or increased clot breakdown –> abnormal bleeding

Q

phases of hemostasis

A

1) endothelial injury & formation of platelet plug
2) clotting process by coagulation cascade
3) termination of clotting by antithrombotic mechanisms (plasmin, antithrombin, protein S & protein C - degrade factors 5a & 8a)
4) Removal of clot by fibrinolysis

Q

ADP function

A

adenosine diphosphate

released from platelets upon platelet activation and functions to recruit additional platelets and amplify platelet aggregation

ADP is released from platelets when stimulated –> recruits more platelets to the site of injury

Plavix / Clopidogrel blocks platelet activation by ADP

Q

PLATELET ACTIVATION

After injury to vessel wall

A

⦁ Vasoconstriction for about 60 seconds
⦁ Next platelets adhere to site of vascular injury; physiologic platelet stimuli – Collagen and thrombin (further activates platelets), ADP.
⦁ ADP adenosine diphosphate is released from platelets upon platelet activation and functions to recruit additional platelets and amplify platelet aggregation

(this is where Plavix works - prevents platelets from being able to signal to one another for aggregation)

Q

PLATELET ADHESION

A

After activation platelets undergo significant shape changes that make the platelets extremely adhesive.

Platelet adhesion is primarily mediated by the binding of platelet surface receptor GPIb/IX/V complex to von Willebrand factor (VWF) in the subendothelial matrix

Q

von Willebrand disease

A

deficient or abnormal function of VWF = most common of inherited bleeding disorders;

platelets can’t adhere to vessel, and factor 8 gets broken down faster and can become deficient too (leading to hemophilia A)

Q

coagulation pathway summary

A
  • Various coagulation factors are activated to generate fibrin
  • Extrinsic Pathway
    ⦁ begins with thromboplastin (= tissue factor = factor 3)
    ⦁ thromboplastin / TF / factor 3 -> activates factor 7 to 7a -> activates factor 10 to 10a
  • Intrinsic Pathway
    ⦁ Requires factors 12, 11, 9 and 8 to convert factor 10 to 10a
  • Common Pathway
    ⦁ involves factor 10, 5, 2 (prothrombin) and 1 (fibrinogen)
    ⦁ factor 13 = fibrin stabilizing factor; creates crosslinks to hold fibrin strands together
