Q

Patients with heterozygous PC deficiency are at lifelong risk for thrombosis, but the episodic nature of clinical thrombosis suggests that an _____ ______ _____ may be necessary to trigger a clinically significant thrombotic event.

A

acquired thrombogenic stimulus

27
Q

Protein C is activated upon

A

the production of thrombin.

28
Q

Thrombin generation promotes clot formation by

A

cleaving fibrinogen into fibrin

and also activates the protein C system.

29
Q

Activated protein C subsequently suppresses further thrombin generation and enhances what?

A

fibrinolytic potential

30
Q

Activated protein C, along with protein S, act to inhibit the intrinsic coagulation pathway by inactivating what factors?

A

factors Va and XIIa

31
Q

Activated PC also neutralizes

A

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor, which enhances fibrinolysis

32
Q

Is Protein C Deficiency a problem for Perfusionists?

A

Kinda bu not really, Patients’ should still achieve anticoagulation with heparin

33
Q

“Protein C deficiency is associated with what, following open heart surgery”?

A

massive cerebral thrombosis

34
Q

The possibility of an abnormally low anticoagulant potential at the time when the patient is separated from bypass and heparinization is reversed may be an important factor in what ?

A

subsequent morbidity associated with thrombotic complications

35
Q

How do you restore normal levels Protein C Pre-CPB ?

A

Prime- As per protocol with the addition of one unit of FFP to normalize Protein C levels

Q

What is the concentration of Protein C in FFP ?

A

87 ±15 U/dL

37
Q

As a general rule- 2 units of PC per kg. of body weight will give what ?

53
Q

What does Fibren degradation products (FDP) tell us?

A

If were clotting or breaking down clots.
