  • Fibrin Glues
  • Surgicel
  • Amicar or Cyklokapron Mouthwashes

VWD Dental Guidelines

A

Surgery can begin immediately after Factor transfusion

Cryoprecipitate contains 10 times the amount of Factor VIII compared to
FFP & the highest concentration of VWF

The use of Cryoprecipitate is strongly discouraged by National
Hemophilia Foundation, (except in life-threatening situations) when no
VWF concentrate is available
This is because Cryoprecipitate is NOT virally inactivated

87
Q

ORAL ANTI-FIBRINOLYTIC DRUGS:

A

t

89
Q

ITP is treated with

?

A

Corticosteroids, immune-globulins or splenectomy

  • Initial(1mg/kg/day Prednisone, P.O for 2-6 weeks)
  • Subsequent (Prednisone dose is individualized, usually tapered to < 10mg per day x 3 months and then withdrawn)
  • Splenectomy is done if discontinuation of Prednisone causes a relapse
90
Q

In patients who have mild to moderate VWD what can be given for hemostasis?

A

Tranexamic acid is given topically as “swish & spit” every 6 hours

Applied pressure
Other Topical agents
Suturing of surgical sites

91
Q

Platelet transfusion when needed is given______prior to planned procedure

A

20 minutes

1 platelet concentrate transfusion increases the platelet count by 10,000

92
Q

With chronic steroid use, check for ___?

A
  • oral candidiasis,

  • osteoporosis
93
Q

VWD Dental Guidelines

A

Consult with the patient’s MD for the Type & severity of the condition

Relay to the MD the type of procedures planned, both major and minor dentistry

Confirm if DDAVP/Factor/Platelet transfusion/Topical rinses is/are needed

With IV DDAVP the surgery can begin in 30-60 minutes

With oral/PO or intranasal DDAVP, the surgery can begin 60-90 minutes later

With Platelet transfusion the surgery can begin in 20 minutes

94
