Wolff PAD Flashcards
1
Q
MOA of Cilostazol?
A
- type 3 PDEI, this prolongs life of cAMP in platelets and cells
2
Q
Effects and clinical application of Cilostazol?
A
- Used for intermittent claudication
- inhibits platelet aggregation
- acts as vasodilator
3
Q
AE of Cilostazol?
A
- HA
- Diarrhea
- Palpitations
- dizzy
- peripheral edema
4
Q
BBW for Cilostazol?
A
Contraindicated in those with HF, its use decreases survival in class III and IV HF
5
Q
Unfractionated Heparin MOA?
A
- mix of long polysaccharide chains
- Pentasaccharide sequence found along length that binds and activates antithrombin III to inhibit factor Xa via formation of thrombin
6
Q
Effects and clinical use of heparin?
A
- Blocks generation of thrombin and inactivates thrombin
- prevents red clot formation
- Used for PE, stroke, DVT, DIC, MI
- Can be used in pregnancy
7
Q
Antidote to Heparin and pharmacokinetics?
A
- protamine, with many positive charges that bind ionically with negative heparin
- Given IV or SC as can’t cross cell mem
- intensive monitoring of plasma levels with PTT
8
Q
Contraindications/warnings for Heparin?
A
- thrombocytopenia and uncontrollable bleeding
- surgeries involving brain eye or spinal cord
- liver/kidney disease
- HITT
9
Q
What is enoxaparin and it’s MOA?
A
- low molecular weight heparin
- shorter length heparin that inhibits factor Xa preventing red clots
10
Q
Clinical application of Enoxaparin?
A
- prevent DVT after surgery
- tx DVT w/wo PE
- Prevent ischemic complications
- safe in pregnancy
11
Q
Pharmacokinetics of Enoxaparin?
A
- easier to use with predictable dosing
- first choice for tx/prevent DVT
- long half life
- costly
12
Q
Toxicities of Enoxaparin?
A
- bleeding (protamine is antidote)
- HITT
- severe neurologic injury with spinal puncture or epidural
13
Q
What is Fondaparinux and MOA/effects?
A
- Synthetic pentasaccharide identical to antithrombin binding structure of heparin
- Selectively inhibits factor Xa preventing conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
- slightly more effective than enoxaparin but increased risk of bleeding
14
Q
Use of fondaparinux?
A
- prevent/tx DVT
- tx PE use with warfarin
15
Q
Toxicities of Fondaparinux?
A
- bleeding NOT reversible with protamine
- does not cause heparin induced thrombocytopenia
