.
Damage outside (extrinsic to) blood vessels triggers the release of ____________ (________,_________) from damaged cells.
thromboplastin
Factor III, tissue factor
Thromboplastin activates factor VII. VIIa, when complexed on the surface of the platelet with _________ and ____________ activates factor X (Xa), Which pathway
calcium (factor IV)
thromboplastin (IIIa)
EXTRINSIC
Trauma to the blood itself or exposure of the blood to collagen in a traumatized blood vessel wall activates factor ____. Which pathway
XII
EXTRINSIC
IXa when complexed on the platelet surface with activated factor _______ and _____ activates factor X (Xa). Which pathway?
VIII:C (VIII:Ca)
Ca++
INTRINSIC PATHWAY
Look at slide 7
.
Heparin acts as a catalyst to ____. To neutralize what?
Antithrombin III
Neutralizes:
- Thrombin
- Factor Xa
Heparin comes from ______
Porcine
Heparin MOA
Heparin induces a conformational change in the AT III that makes the reactive site more accessible to the protease
Heparin uses
Every type of clotting disorder
Heparin activity
Only acts on unbound factors
Heparin: The more you give, _______ DOA
Longer
Heparin is cleared by the ____________ system
reticuloendothelial
Heparin does NOT cross the placenta
.
Heparin resistance due to:
- Increased concentration of Factor VIII.
- Accelerated clearance of the drug with massive PE activates reticuloendothelial system ^ clearance
- Inherited ATIII deficiency.
- Acquired AT III deficiency in patients with cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome or DIC.
Heparin Toxicity
-Bleeding (major bleeds in 1-33% of pts.)
-Thrombocytopenia (HIT)
-Abnl LFTs (increased transaminases)
Infrequent risk of osteoporosis and spontaneous vertebral fractures – (due to the fact that calcium is included in clotting cascade)
Look at slide 16
.
HIT reaction
Immune mediated response
Acts as a heparin antagonist by complexing with strongly acidic and anionic heparin to form a stable salt.
Protamine
LMWH: If emergency reversal is needed, protamine will neutralize about ____ of Anti-Xa activity of LMWHs.
65%
Protamine onset/Duration
Onset <5 mins, can last 2 hours
Look at slide 21-23
.
Protamine O.D.
Protamine may result in bleeding theoretically because it has anticoagulant and anti-platelet effects when given alone or in excess of heparin.
LMWH MOA
- Inhibition of Factor Xa by antithrombin.
- Have some Factor IIa inhibition effect.
LMWH Adverse effects (3)
- Thrombocytopenia (<1%)
- Do not use in patients with HIT
- Decrease dose in patients with chronic renal insufficiency
No effect on platelet function.
Fondaparinux (Arixtra)
Same risk of spinal or epidural hematoma as with LMWHs
Fondaparinux (Arixtra)
VTE px for adults in hospital for acute med illness only
Betrixaban (Bevyxxa)
If it has ”xa” in generic name, means _____ Xa inhibitor
oral
look at slide 33
.
Warfarin clotting factors take longer to regenerate
stop 5 days before procedure
Reverses Xa inhibitors, IIa inhibitors, Fondaparinux, and heparin. how does it bind?
Ciraparantag
Binds to anticoagulants through a hydrogen bond
