Q

Heparin

A
  • Increases binding affinity of antithrombin for factor 2 (thrombin) and 10a
  • Causes impaired coagulation, followed with PTT
  • Has a short half life and rapid onset of action (IV only)
  • Used for quick antiocagulation, also used when warfarin is started to prevent skin necrosis
  • Does not cross the placenta and is safe to use in pregnancy
  • Overdose can predispose to bleeding and can be treated with protamine sulfate
  • LMWH has more effect on factor 10 and has a longer half life

Q

HIT

A
  • IgG antibodies to hapten of heparin and platelet factor 4.
  • Causes destruction of platelets leading to thrombocytopenia and also causes thrombosis from platelet fragments in circulation.
  • Give direct thombin inhibitors otherwise (lepirudin, bilirudin)

Q

Warfarin

A
  • Inhibit vitamin K dependent gamm carboxylation of factors 2, 7, 9, 10, C, S in liver. Epoxide reductase
  • Most commonly used for anticoagulation with A fib or DVT prophylaxis
  • INR is how you follow it (PT)
  • Metabolized by P450 system. Inducers will decrease anti-coagulation effects
  • Can cross the placenta and cause teratogenicity including blindness and hydrocephalus
  • Causes warfarin induced skin necrosis (C has shorter half life. Always give heparin at first does)
  • Overdose treated with vitamin K. If acute need give FFP that contains clotting factors.

Q
