P&P II Exam 2 Flashcards
Adhesion of Platelets Require?
von Willebrand’s (Factor 8, vWF:VIII)
Activation of Platelets Require?
Thrombin (Factor 2, II)
Aggregation of Platelets Require?
ADP and Thromboxane-A2
Platelet Lifespan
8-12days
Normal (PT)
Prothrombin Time
12-14 seconds
Coumadin / Extrinsic
Crosslinks Fibrin
Fibrin Stabilizing (Factor 13)
Normal Bleeding Time
3-10 minutes
Platelet Function
Normal (aPTT)
Partial Thromboplastin Time
25-35 seconds
Heparin / Intrinsic
Normal (ACT)
Activate Coagulation Time
150-180 seconds
Heparin / Intrinsic
Heparin Sites of Action
2a, 10a > 9, 11, 12
Antithrombin-III binds and increase 1,000 times
Coumadin Sites of Action
2, 7, 10
Vitamin-K: 2, 7, 9, 10
Normal Platelet Count
150,000-440,000mm3
Lifespan of Red Blood Cell
120 dyas
Determinant of Blood Viscosity
Hematocrit
Blood is (3) more viscous than water
Increase from 60-70% Hct causes 10x increase in blood viscosity
How does Aspirin affect clotting?
ASA inhibits platelet function for life 7-12days (irreversible)
NSAIDs inhibits platelet function for 24-48hrs (reversible)
What Clotting Factors from the Liver?
ALL except - Thromboplastin (3), Calcium (4), von Willebrands (8)
Vitamin-K Clotting Factors
2, 7, 9, 10
(2) Components of Factor-8
von Willebrand’s (VIII:vWF) and Anti-Hemophilic (VIII:c)
What is the significance of factor VIII:vWF
von Willebrand’s is release form endothelial cells, and is needed for platelet ADHESION. Also releases VIII:c
Which clotting factor is not a protein?
Calcium (4)
What breaks Fibrin down?
Plasmin digest fibrin. Plasmin is formed from tPA
Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP)
Contains what factors?
ALL clotting factors accept platelets
(5) and (8) are the most abundant
Must (FFP) be ABO compatible
YES, requires ABO-compatibility
How long does FFP increase PT?
12-18hrs - then patient returns to baseline
What coagulation factors are in Cryoprecipitate
1 (fibrinogen), 8 (vWF), 13 (Fibrin Stabilizing)
Most common INHERITED bleeding disorder?
1st: Von Willebrand’s Disease (not enough VIII:vWF)
2nd: Hemophilia-A (not enough VIII:c)
Treatment for Von Willebrand’s Disease
1st: DDAVP 0.3mcg/kg over 15minutes
2nd: Crypoprecipitate
(4) Disorders of Thrombocytopenia
- Chemotherapy or Cancer
- Liver disease
- DIC
- Pre-eclampsia
