Q

venous thrombi

A

develop at sites where blood flow is slow; venous stasis initiates this; long tails that break and can cause pulmonary embolism

Q

Heparin

A

activate antithrombin and Xa; preferred for PE, DVT, open-heart surgery, renal dialysis, DIC; also for MI; IV or SUB 1.5 half life works within minutes

16
Q

Anticoagulants: Low Molecular Weight Heparins

A

inactive Xa no affect on thrombin; lower bleeding risk; 1st line DVT; half-life 6x longer 1-2x a day;

enoxaparin
dalteparin

17
Q

Anticoagulants: warfarin (Oral)

A

decrease prothrombin and factors VII IX X (vit K); vit k antag, high protein-bound, delayed; DVT PE prosthetic heart valves a FIb

18
Q

warfarin half life

A

6 hr to 2.5 days; peak can take several days; if stopped effects continue for 2-5 days

19
Q

Anticoagulants: warfarin (Oral) labs

A

PT for time of blot to clot; INR no INR without PT; normal INR about 1; TX INR 2-3

20
Q

warfarin side effects

A

Hemorrhage
Antidote: VITAMIN K
Can cause fetal hemorrhage in pregnancy

21
Q

Anticoagulants: warfarin (Oral)-Education

A

take vitamin K; dark greens, mayo, oil; soft bristle toothbrush and electric razor; report signs of bleeding; wear alert band, no new meds

22
Q

warfarin drug interactions

A

blood thinners, antibiotics, OTC pain relievers, and seizure medications

Patient’s taking carbamazepine will need to increase their dose

23
Q

Anticoagulant (Oral): Direct Thrombin Inhibitors

A

direct inhibition of thrombin; rapid onset EMPTY TUM; no need to watch blood levels; low bleed risk; no food interactions

Dabigatran etexilate (oral)

24
Q
Dabigatran etexilate (oral)
uses
A
A-fib
DVT/PE prevention
VTE prophylaxis following Knee or hip replacement
NO MOISTURES
13hr half life
25
Q

admin of Dabigatran etexilate (oral)

A

reversal praxbind; do not crush chew or open; doses twice daily

GI symptoms

26
Q

Anticoagulant (Oral): Xa Inhibitors

A

directly with Xa; rapid onset fixed-dose low risk fewer interactions no routine labs;

DVT PE strokes
Rivaroxaban
Apixaban

27
Q

Rivaroxaban

A

80-90 bioavailable
high protein bound
5-9 half life

Andexxa reversal for rivaro and apixaban

28
Q

Apixaban

inhibits XA, uses prevent strokes, systemic embolism; low risk drug interactions

50 bioavailable
2-4 hr peak
12 hour half life
high protein bound

29
Q

Antiplatelet Drugs

A

prevent thrombosis in the arteries by suppressing platelet aggregation; aspirin, P2Y12, GP llb/llla

30
Q

aspirin

A

irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase; 1 dose 7-10days; reduce MI stroke(death) reocclusion vascular mortality; and prevent MI
