Stroke and coagulants Flashcards
What procedures call for use of coagulants?
oral anticoagulant overdoses, CABG, orthopedic procedures
What are 2 ways to enforce clotting?
Facilitate clot cascade, Prevent fibrinolysis
Factors given to hemophiliacs?
Hemophilia A- Factor 8, Hemophilia B- Factor 9
What drugs can prevent coagulopathies?
FEIBA, Novoseven, Prothrombin complex concentrate, Cryoprecipitate
what are uses for anti-inhibitors?
Hemophilia A and B patients for surgery, Pradaxa antidote
ADR for anti-inhibitors
Allergy, Thrombotic events- stroke
What is the MOA for anti-inhibitors?
precursor and activated forms of factors 2,7, 9, 10
Prothrombin complex mechanism?
contains factors 2, 7, 9, 10, protein C and S
Use of prothrombin?
warfarin reversal
how does factor VIIa work?
activates factors 9 and 10, injectable until bleeding stops
Indications for factor VIIa use?
hemophilia A and B, unapproved uses (bleeding from trauma or surgery, intracranial bleeds, warfarin reversal)
what drugs stop fibrinolysis?
aminocaproic acid, tranexamic acid
MOA of aminocaproic acid
binds with plasminogen so it can’t convert to plasmin and plasmin can’t breakdown fibrin
uses of aminocaproic acid
acute bleeding in a surgical setting
MOA of tranexamic acid
displaces plasminogen from fibrin and inhibits fibrinolysis inhibiting the proteolytic activity of plasmin
uses of tranexamic acid
hemophillia to reduce or prevent hemorrhage following tooth extraction, treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding
MOA of topical thrombin
activates platelets and converts fibrinogen to fibrin
MOA of cellulose (oxidized), ferric subsulfate, and gelatin absorbable
aids in clot formation
