Q

What would you assess recognize cues for Thrombosis?

A

history of any type of VTE
assess risks for developing VTE - prolonged sitting/bedrest, recent surgical procedures or factors that may affect coagulation

Q

what are some physical assessments of S&S of VTE?

A

may be asymptomatic

S&S of DVT: calf or groin tenderness, pain and sudden unilateral swelling of leg

palpate site observe for induration (hardening), warmth and edema, redness

Q

what are you analyzing/ prioritizing hypothesis of VTE

A

priority problem for most patients with VTE is potential for injury due to complications of VTE and anticoagulation therapy

Q

nonsurgical management of VTE:

A

Patient education
* Leg exercises
* Early ambulation
* Adequate hydration
* Graduated compression stockings
* Intermi ent pneumatic compression, such as sequential
compression devices (SCDs) * Venous plexus foot pump
* Anticoagulant therapy - drug of choice

Q

what is hemostasis?

A

multistep process of controlled blood clo tting, resulting in localized blood clo tting in damaged blood vessels to prevent excessive
blood loss while continuing perfusion of liquid blood and individual cells to all other areas.

Q

what is platelet aggregation?

A

begins forming a platelet plug by having platelets clump together, a process essential for blood clo tting

Q

when collagen is exposed what happens due to damaging of blood vessels what happens (extrinsic factors)

A

collagen activates platelets to form platelet plug within seconds -starts the protective healing process

20
Q

true or false about clotting factors: they are inactive enzymes that become activated in sequence. At each step, the activated enzyme from the previous step activates the next enzyme.

A

TRUE

21
Q

what is the last phase of blood clotting?

A

fibrin clot formation

22
Q

true or false: Thus whenever the clo ing cascade is started, anticlo ing forces are also started to limit clot formation only to damaged areas so normal perfusion is maintained everywhere else.

A

true

23
Q

true of false: When blood procloting and anticloting actions are balanced, cloting occurs only where it is needed, and normal perfusion is maintained.

A

true

24
Q

what is fibrinolysis mean? ** remember lysis means disintegration

A

is the process that dissolves fibrin clot edges with special enzymes

25
Q

true or false: Deficiency of any anticloting factor decreases the risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) such as pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction (MI), and strokes.

A

false, increase

26
Q

what does Prothrombin time (PT) measure

A

how long blood takes to clot - reflects clotting factors II, V, VII and X and how they function

27
Q

what does International normalized ratio (INR) measure?

A

same as PT , established normal mean or standard for PT

28
Q

anti-factor Xa

A

measures the amount of anti-activated factor X (anti-Xa) in blood, which is affected by heparin. - used to monitor heparin in patients

29
Q
A
30
Q

true or false: Platelet aggregation, or the ability to clump, is tested by mixing the patient’s plasma with an agonist substance that should cause clumping.

A

true

31
Q

what are anticoagulants?

A

Drugs that activate antithrombin
heparin and enoxaparin
warfarin

32
Q

whats another word for Vitamin K agonist?

A

NOTHING! if ur thinking warfarin its a vitamin k Antagonist

33
Q

what is the action of anticoagulants?

A

decreases the formation of fibrin - used to prevent thrombosis in veins and atria of heart

34
Q

what is oral anticoagulants and parental anticoagulants?

A

oral is PO, for example warfarin
parental is IV or subQ ex Heparin and Enoxaparin

35
Q

can enoxaparin be administered via IV?

A

no, its SubQ - longer half life then heparin

36
Q

what is a low molecular weight heparin? what does it do in MOA?

A

Enoxaparin, reduces the activity of Xa more than they reduce the activity of thrombin

37
Q

true or false: Heparin suppresses coagulation by helping antithrombin inactivate clotting factors, primarily thrombin and factor Xa.

A

true

38
Q

does heparin only bind to antithrombin when inactivating Xa ?

A

YES

39
Q

true or false: By activating antithrombin, and thereby promoting the inactivation of thrombin and factor Xa, heparin ultimately suppresses the formation of fibrin.

A

true

40
Q

can heparin be absorbed and cross membranes?

A

no thats why it is admin via IV and SubQ, Because it cannot cross membranes, heparin does not traverse the placenta and does not enter breast milk.

41
Q

half life in heparin is short unless renal impairment is present

A

yes

42
Q

what are some adverse effects for heparin?

A

hemorrhage, Spinal/Epidural Hematoma, Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia, Hpersensitivity

43
Q

why does it take days for results to be seen with warfarin?

A

only works once the clots are decaying, have no effect on clotting factors in circulation (though it acts quickly to inhibit synthesis)

44
Q

what are some adverse effects of Warfarin?

A

Hemmorhage, Fetal hemorrhage, use when breast feeding (oral so enters milk)

45
Q

what is the adverse effects of clopidogrel?

A

risk of bleeding, thrombotic thrombocytopenic Purpura

46
Q

what is an antifibrinolytic agent?

A

Aminocaproic Acid - given IV and tablet
