Term
What Factor has the shortest 1/2 life?
Definition
VII
Term
Heparin
Definition
IV, SubQ
Unfractionated
LMWH
Binds antithrombin III inactivates Factors Xa, XIa, XIIa
Term
Heparin
Definition
IV-loading dose is 70-100
Maintenance dose: 18
check aPTT, check levels every 6 hours
Monitor CBC, platelets
Look for signs of bleeding
Term
Adverse effects of Heparin
Definition
Hemorrhage
Thrombocytopenia
Paradoxical thrombosis
Term
If overdose on Heparin
Definition
Protamine- resists anti-coagulation
Whole blood
Fresh frozen plasma, give this unless major bleed
Term
LMWH
Definition
DVT and PT Tx
don't monitor PTT
Anti-factor X assay (people at risk for bleeding)
Factor X specific
Less chance of HIT
Term
LMWH
Definition
end in -parin
Enoxa
Dalte
Arde
Tinza
Term
Enoxaprin
Definition
1 mg/kg SQ q12h
Term
If person has SE of heparin use?
Definition
Fondaparinux-a heparinoid
Contraindicated of CRCl < 30
Term
Direct Thrombin Inhibitors
Definition
Binds to unique sites on thrombi
Term
Direct Thrombin Inhibitors: Divalent
Binds to 2 sites
Definition
Hirudin
Lepirudin, IV, continuous infusion, aPTT
Bivalirudin, IV, continuous infusion, aPTT
Term
Direct Thrombin Inhibitors: Univalent
Binds to 1 site
Definition
Argatroban, IV
Dabigatran, PO
Term
Lepirudin
Definition
Aternative to heparin
Works in presence of HIT
Less monitoring
Term
Bivalirudin
Definition
Quick onset
Short 1/2 life
Used for angioplasty
Term
Argatroban
Definition
Used in patients with HIT
Term
Warfarin Facts 1
Definition
Antagonizes vitamin K
Depletes factors II, VII, IX, X, protein C and protein S
Onset of action: 1-2days
Anticoag: 2-7 days, avg 5
Term
Warfarin Facts 2
Definition
Well absorbed
Highly protein bound= increased chance of drug interactions = increased chance of bleeding
Metabolized by liver
Term
Warfarin Facts 3
Definition
check INR and PT
No loading dose
No pregnant women
Term
Warfarin Dosing
Definition
Start one day after heparin
A therapeutic PT doesn't mean true anticoagulation
Term
Warfarin SE
Definition
Bleeding
Thrombocytopenia- less likely than heparin
Term
Warfarin + enzyme inducers
Definition
Risk of clotting
Term
Warfarin + enzyme inhibitors or protein displacement
Definition
Risk of bleeding
Term
Warfarin Adverse Interactions
Definition
Vit K containing foods
Antacids
Smoking
Term
If bleeding on Warfarin?
Definition
FFP
Vitamin K
Term
Pre-Procedural Management
Definition
Stop warfarin 5-7 days prior to procedure
Start enoxaparin at treatment dose
Last dose of enoxaparin 24 hours prior to procedure
Restart enoxaparin and warfarin the evening following the procedure and continue till INR is therapeutic and then stop enoxaprin
Term
Antiplatelet agents
Definition
Inihibit ADP-dependent activation of GP IIb/III a complex
Used for ACS, stroke prevention, and post-stroke
End in -grel
Term
Thrombolytics
Definition
MI and stroke, must start as soon as diagnosis is made
Act on plasminogen to form plasmin, dissolves clots
end in -plase
