25
What is the half life of factor IX?
18-24 hours
26
What is the most common congenital bleeding disorder in the world?
von willebrand disease
27
What is von willebrand disease?
a family of disorders caused by quantitative and/or qualitative defect
28
What does von willebrand factor do?
mediates platelets adhesion and prolongs factor VIII's half life
29
Where is von willebrand factor stored and synthesized?
endothelial cells and platelets
30
What is the overall role of von willebrand factor?
dual role in hemostasis, affecting both platelet function and coagulation
31
What are the 3 specific roles of VWF?
platelet adhesion- vascular site of injury to PLT's GIb receptor Platelet aggregation- PLT GIIb/IIIa receptor to PLT GIIB/ IIIa receptor carrier molecule for factor VIII and cofactor for factor IX
32
What is type 1 VWD?
mild-moderate reduction in level of vWF | mild bleeding symptoms- easy bruising, nosebleeds
33
What is the most common type of VWD?
type 1
34
What is type 2 VWD?
qualitative defects of vWF | 4 subtypes
35
what is the % of type 2 vWD?
9-30% of patients
36
What is type 3 vWD?
nearly undetectable, severe quantitative phenotype
37
What is platelet-pseudo type wvd?
defect in platelet's GIb receptor
38
what determines the treatment of vWD?
location and severity of bleeding
39
What are the replacement goals of major surgery with vWD patient?
maintain factor VIII levels >50% for 1 week | prolonged treatment in type 3 patients >7days
40
What are the replacements goals of minor surgery with vWD patient?
maintain factor VIII level >50% for 1-3 days | maintain factor VIII level >20%-30% for an additional 4-7 days
41
How would you treat a vWD patient for a dental extraction?
single infusion to achieve factor VIII level <50% | desmopressin prior to procedure for type 1
42
What is generated in response to an insulting factor during DIC?
thrombin
43
What is an insulting factor?
endotoxins in sepsis, amniotic fluid embolism
44
What does thrombin cause?
intravascular clotting then dissemination
45
What do the blood clots cause in DIC?
end-organ dysfunction
46
What is depleted or used up in DIC?
coagulation factors depleted and platelets are used up
47
What is activated in. DIC and results in bleeding?
fibrinolysis
48
what are the symptoms of DIC?
related to widespread clot formation chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, problems with speaking or moving patients can be clotting or bleeding or both
49
Where do hemorrhages occur during DIC?
they occur simultaneously from distant sites while there is ongoing thrombosis in the microcirulation IV sites, catheters, drains
50
What are the 9 causes of DIC?
``` sepsis (bacterial, viral, fungal) surgery trauma cancer (more chronic) pregnancy complications (amniotic fluid embolism, HELLP syndrome) snake bites (venom) frostbite burns transfusion reaction ```
51
Acute DIC is
processes of coagulation and fibrinolysis are dysregulated | widespread clotting with resultant bleeding
52
what are the two processes that cause bleeding and clotting?
1. fibrin deposits as thrombosis in the circulation | 2. depletion of platelets and clotting factors
53
What is tissue factor?
present in many cell surfaces (endothelial macrophages, monocytes) and tissues (lung, brain, placenta)
54
What happens with tissue factor in DIC?
exposed and released | binds wit FVIIa and activates IX and X to form thrombin and fibrin in the common final pathway
55
Fibrinolysis creates a fibrin degradation products that cause what 3 things?
inhibit platelet aggregation have antithrombin activity impair fibrin polymerization all contribute to bleeding
56
What is the paradoxical effect of acute DIC?
coagulation inhibitors are also consumed= more clotting increased clotting leads to more clotting thrombocytopenia occurs due to platelet consumption dysfunctional platelets occur due to inflammatory processes
57
Thrombin allows for
depletion of platelets and clotting factors | fibrin degradation products
58
What does the excess and unregulated thrombin generation causes
consumption of coagulation factors and increased fibrinolysis which in conjunction with platelet dysfunction can lead to bleeding
59
What causes thrombotic complications?
consumption of anticoagulant proteins with high antifibrinolytic activity and platelet aggregation also induced by thrombin leads to complications
60
What labs diagnosis DIC?
``` DIC panel low platelets low fibrinogen high INR and PT high PTT HIgh D dimer TEGs and ROTEMs ```
61
How do you treat DIC?
``` recongition treat underlying conditions infection- give antibotics trauma- resuscitation, remove insult supportive- give platelets, cryo, fibrinogen concentration FFP heparin TXA (if in coagulation phase) PCCs (contain fewer natural anticoagulant than FFPs) ```
62
Thrombin is
a potent proinflammatory protein and platelet aggregator
63
Neutralizing what is crucial in acute DIC?
thrombin
64
Throbomodulin
binds to thrombin and decreases the pro-inflammatory response (limited clinical trials)
65
Direct thrombin inhibitors
no RCTs yet
66
Heparin in DIC
variable outcomes reserved for early or highly prothrombotic states high risk of additive bleeding reduce end-organ dysfunction discontinued if/when overt bleeding starts difficult to monitor because PTT is already prolonged due to coagulation factor consumption
67
What is generated during severe trauma?
excessive thrombin to rescue the host from excessive bleeding plasmin is also generated to breakdown the microvascular clots, but unfortunately is not able to isolate leading to widespread hemorrhage
68
What can tranexamic acid treat?
early hyperfibrinolysis | consider single upfront bolus during period as later the balance is tipped toward thrombosis
