Q

UFH Dosing adjustments

A

can be used in pregnancy, ESRD and renal impairment with no changes

30
Q

UFH Antidote

A

Protamine

1mg/100 units of UFH, Max 50 mg

31
Q

LMWH Antidote

A

Protamine
1mg/1mg enoxaparin
1mg/ 100 unit anti-Xa units dalteparin

32
Q

Black Box warning of LMWH

A

Epidural or spinal hematomas may occur in patient who are on LMWH or heparin and are receiving neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing a spinal procedure and could result in paralysis

33
Q

ADR LMWH

A

Bleeding
HIT (1/3 compared to UFH)
Hyperkalemia

34
Q

aPTT

A

Activated partial thromboplastin time

use for monitoring UFH

Elevates function of cofactors in intrinsic and common pathway

includes Factors 12,11,10,8,5,2 (prothrombin) & 1 (fibrinogen)

35
Q

Anti Xa

A

used for monitoring UFH, LMWH and maybe oral factor Xa inhibitors

36
Q

Prothrombin Time

A

used for monitoring warfarin with INR

37
Q

Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)

A

immune mediated adverse reaction due to production of IgG antibodies that recognize complexes of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and heparin on the platelet leading to platelet activation

more common in pt who receives UFH than LMWH

Thrombosis occurs in 30-50% of pt, mortality 5-10%

38
Q

Steps in diagnosis HIT

A
  1. 4Ts score (if intermediate or high risk continue)
  2. ELISA (immunoassay, if positive continue)
  3. SRA (Gold standard, can take days)

If low probability or other 2 tests negative then can use heparin

39
Q

Management of HIT

A
  1. Discontinue all heparin-containing products
  2. Add heparin to allergy with description of HIT
  3. initiate non-heparin anticoagulant
40
Q

Dabigatran (Pradaxa) Adverse effects

A

** Bleeding and Dyspepsia (indigestion) **
Same BW as LMWH
increased risk of thrombosis if non-adherent

41
Q

Dabigatran (Pradaxa) PK info

A

prod drug to overcome poor bioavailability
renal elim = req dose adjustment
metabolized via p-gp
has to stay in original packaging

42
Q

How often is Dabigatran (Pradaxa) dosed

A

twice daily

43
Q

Dabigatran (Pradaxa) antidote

A

Idarucizumab 5g IV

44
Q

Antidote to Factor Xa inhibitors

A

Andexaneta alfa (Andexxa)

45
Q

How often is apixaban (Eliquis) dosed?

A

Twice daily

46
Q

Factor Xa inhibitor adverse effects

A

increased risk for thrombosis if non-adherent
bleeding and use caution in renal impairment
Same BW as LMWH

47
Q

Warfarin (Coumadin & Jantoven) Mechanism

A
  • Factors 2,7,9,10 need enzyme for which vitamin K is a co factor.
  • Warfarin reduces vitamin K reductase = reduced factors = less clotting

Warfarin blocks enzyme that turns vitamin K from Oxidized - reduced, also inhibits protein C/S

48
Q

Which isomer is more active for Warfarin?

A

S - isomer

49
Q

What metabolizes S-isomer warfarin

50
Q

What metabolizes R-isomer warfarin

A

CYPs 1A1, 1A2, 3A4

51
Q

Need for warfarin dose adjustments if have polymorphism in…

A

CYP2C9 and VKORC1

52
Q

How long for anticoagulants effect of warfarin?

A

within 24hrs, but 2-5 days for peak effect

53
Q

Adverse effects of warfarin?

A

Bleeding
Purple toe syndrome
Skin necrosis = rare, 1st 10 days (due to protein C/S)
Harmful fetal effects so don’t use in pregnancy

54
Q

INR

A

Also known as PT, but INR is just normalized/standardized so that we can discuss around the world

55
Q

Typical INR warfarin goal

56
Q

AT9 guidelines for no evidence of bleeding

A

INR 4.5-10 = no need for vitamin K

INR >10 = give oral vitamin K

57
Q

AT9 guidelines for evidence of bleeding at any INR

A

Rapid reversal with 4-factor PCC

Vitamin K 5-10mg via slow IV injection

58
Q

Signs & Symptoms of bleeding

A

Nose bleeds that won’t stop
bleeding from gums, GI, in urine/stool
Bad bruising

59
Q

higher INR =

A

Bleeding risk

60
Q

Lower INR =

A

Clotting risk

61
Q

Issue with Vitamin K

A

pt can become warfarin resistant, which can take about a week for warfarin to become therapeutic again

62
Q

Increase INR Warfarin Interactions

A
  1. Dec intake of Vitamin K (leafy greens
  2. CYP450 inhib (Metronidazole, Bactrim, Azole antifungals, amiodarone, fluoroquinolones, acute alcohol use)

** FAB = Flagy, Amiodarone, Bactrim **

63
Q

Decrease INR Warfarin Interactions

A
  1. Inc intake of Vitamin K
  2. CYP450 inducers ( cig smoke, Rifampin, Carbamazepine, Nafcillin/Dicloxacillin)
  3. Hypothyroidism
64
Q

How do anti0infectives impact INR?

A

reduce gut flora that produce Vitamin K

65
Q

HAS-BLED score

66
Q

UFH & LMWH antidote

67
Q

Dabigatran antidote

A

Idarucizumab

68
Q

Warfarin antidote

A

Vitamin K (Phytonadione)

69
Q

Rivaroxaban & Apixaban Antidote

A

Andexxa (FDA approved)

70
Q

Edoxaban, Fondaparinux, Enoxaparin antidote

A

Andexxa (Not FDA approved)
