A

Amicar, TXA, DDAVP, protamine, Vitamin K

29
Q

What does aPTT measure and what is normal?

A

intrinsic and common pathway disorders; 25-32 seconds

30

A

30-40 mmHg

31
Q

What factors are in the final common pathway?

A

5, 10, 1, 2, 13 (the FCP can be purchased at the five and dime for 1 or 2 dollars on the 13th of the month)

32
Q

What is the mnemonic for coagulation factors?

A

foolish people try climbing long slopes after christmas some people have fallen

33
Q

What is factor 7?

A

stable factor

34
Q

What is factor 3?

A

tissue factor

35
Q

What do platelets work in conjunction with in the coagulation cascade?

A

plasma proteins

36
Q

What is factor 9?

A

Christmas factor

37
Q

What is an example of fibrinolytics? Does it increase or decrease bleeding?

A

increases bleeding- tPa, streptokinase

38
Q

What are the 3 lines of defense that are impaired for GERD to develop?

A

LES barrier impairment, decreased clearance of refluxed materials from esophagus, decreased esophageal mucosal resistance

39
Q

What factors are in the extrinsic pathway?

A

3, 7 (you can buy the extrinsic pathway for 37 cents)

40
Q

What are some drugs that lower LES tone?

A

alpha adrenergic agonists, anticholinergics, beta adrenergic agonists, CCBs, diazepam, dopamine, meperidine, nitrates and other vasodilators, estrogens/progesterones, prostaglandins, theophylline

41
Q

What is factor 11?

A

plasma thromboplastin antecedent

42
Q

What are some examples of antiplatelet drugs? Do they increase or decrease bleeding?

A

increase bleeding- ADP receptor inhibitors (clopidogrel), GpIIb/IIIa receptor antagonists (abciximab), COX 1-2 inhibitors (ASA, NSAIDs)

43
Q

What does ACT measure? What is normal?

A

ability to clot- 80-150 seconds

44
Q

What occurs during adhesion?

A

vWF emerges from endothelin, GIb receptors emerge from platelets and attach to vWF (attracts platelets), and vWF makes platelets sticky

45
Q

What occurs during activation?

A

platelet undergoes conformational change (swells and becomes oval/irregular), glycoproteins IIb/IIIa project themselves outward on platelet and link other platelets to form plug

46
Q

What should you do before extubating a patient who has been in Trendelenberg position?

A

Ensure there is an air leak after deflating the cuff- evaluates for airway edema

47
Q

What are the 3 types of vWD?

A

type 1- reduced vWF
type 2- abnormal vWF
type 3- complete absence of vWF

48
Q

What should you keep Hct in somebody with sickle cell disease?

A

30-35%

49
Q

A

pain, hypothermia, hypoxemia, acidosis, dehydration

Q

What lab values evaluate the extrinsinc and common pathway? What is normal?

A

INR (1.5-2.5 seconds) and PT (12-13 seconds)

51
Q

How much must factor decrease by before PT and aPTT is prolonged?

A

30%

52
Q

What is normal fibrinogen degradation products?

A

<10 mcg/mL

53
Q

What is on the inside of the platelet and what do they do? (7 things)

A

actin and myosin (contracts platelet to form plug), thrombosthenin (contraction), ADP (activation and aggregation), calcium (multiple functions), fibrin stabilizing factor (crosslinks fibrin), serotonin (activates nearby platelets), growth factor (helps repair damaged vessel walls)

54
Q

What factors are in the intrinsic pathway?

A

12, 11, 9, 8 (if you can’t buy the intrinsic pathway for $12, you can buy it for 11.98)

55
Q

What are some things that can lower LES tone?

A

food bolus, LMA, pregnancy, certain drugs

56
Q

What do plateletes produce?

A

thrombin

57
Q

What are s/s of a gas embolism? How do you treat?

A

hypotension, dysrhythmia, hypoxia, pulmonary edema, mill wheel murmur;
d/c insufflation and release pneumoperitoneum, 100% FiO2, L lateral decubitus, central line to aspirate air bubble

58
Q

What occurs during aggregation?

A

platelets release granules to promote procoagulant activity which forms unstable clot (primary plug is enough for hemostasis if injury is minute)

59
Q

What is factor 8?

A

antihemophilic factor

60
Q

What clears platelets?

A

macrophages in the reticuloendothelium system and the spleen

61
Q

What are some examples of anticoagulants? Do they increase or decrease bleeding?

A

increase bleeding- heparins, thrombin inhibitors (argatroban), factor 10 inhibitors, Vit K antagonists (warfarin)

62
Q

What is the open vs closed technique for establishing a pneumoperitoneum?

A

open- Hasson technique with incision

closed- Veress needle

63
Q

Why might you have decreased urinary output in laparoscopic procedures? Should you give them fluid?

A

compression of kidneys and IVC, increased levels of ADH; no

64
Q

What normally inhibits platelet function?

A

prostaglandin I2 and nitric oxide secreted by the endothelium

65
Q

What is the difference between sickle cell trait and having sickle cell anemia?

A

sickle cell trait is heterozygous (AS genes) where both HbgA and S is present- asymptomatic

sickle cell anemia is homozygous (SS genes) where majority of Hgb is S
