Prevention & management of extraction complications Part 2 Flashcards
Do bacteria or salivary enzymes lyse blood clots prior to maturation/organization?
Salivary enzymes
What body part can you look at on a pt to see if bruising is a problem?
Hands
______ is a record of prothrombin time and a standardized control
(due to laboratory differences across nation)
International Normalized Ratio
What is the normal INR?
1
If INR is above _____, needs med consult
3
Direct pressure of socket with moistened gauze, folded to fit over socket
• Pressure for at least _____ -_____ min
30 – 45 mins
• Absorbable gelatin sponge • Acts as a physical tamponade, increases in size to exert internal pressure of bone • Acts as lattice for clot to form on • Liquefies in 2-5 days • Least expensive • Held in place with figure of eight suture • Can be used with topical thrombin
Gelfoam
What other hemostatic measure can be used with gelfoam?
Thrombin
Can you use thrombin with surgicel?
Nope
• Oxidized regenerated cellulose
• Promotes coagulation better than gelfoam
• Can be packed into socket under pressure (does increase in size
but not to the extent of gelfoam)
• Acts as lattice for clot to form on
• Bactericidal due to low pH
• More expensive
• CAN NOT be used with topical thrombin →thrombin is
inactivated
• Packed into socket and stabilized with figure of eight suture
SURGICEL®, ACTCEL ®
- Avitene®, CollaPlug®, Collatape®
- Promotes platelet aggregation
- Good for patients with qualitative platelet defects
- Can be packed into socket
- Very expensive
- Figure of eight suture placed to stabilize
Collagen
• Comes in separate powder and liquid vials, mix together
and then placed
• Great for coagulation factor defects
• Thrombin bypasses extrinsic and intrinsic systems and
directly convert fibrinogen (factor 1) to fibrin (factor 1a)
• Used with gelfoam
• Inactivated by oxidized cellulose
Thrombin
- Blood escaping into tissue spaces, more specifically subcutaneous tissue space
- Usually seen in elderly patients, due to
- Decreased tissue tone
- Increased capillary fragility
- Weaker cellular attachment
- Is not dangerous, does not cause pain, does not increase risk of infection
ECCHYMOSIS!!!
What is sometimes dangerous, causes pain and can get infected unlike ecchymosis?
Hematoma
– original hole into the sinus through the socket
Perforation
