(44 cards)

1
Q

A

A life threatening state of generalized, insufficient perfusion due to hemodynamic instability (lack of blood flow)

Q

What happens at the cellular level when there is a hemorrhage

A

Depletion of cells (red and platelets), decreased platelet function, depletion of clotting factors and loss of activity,

Q

What are corrective measures the body tries to make during a hemorrhage

A

Active coagulation cascade (procoagulant effects), lactic acidosis, vasoconstriction, endothelium and neutrophil activation, increased vascular permeability

Q

T/F: Hemorrhagic shock causes a decrease in cardiac output, decrease in blood pressure, decrease in perfusion, and less oxygen for tissues

Q

Why does urine output decrease in hemorrhagic stroke

A

There is hypoperfusion of the kidneys (most likely other organs as well)

Q

What is the main job of albumin, can it be used in hemorrhagic shock

A

volume expansion, no

19
Q

What are the two preferred crystalloid solutions for resuscitation

A

Ringer’s lactate and 0.9 NaCl (both isotonic and stay in the vasculature)

20
Q

Which crystalloid is preferred in hemorrhagic shock and why

A

Lactated ringer: off set acidosis (converted to bicarbonate) and minimizes chloride load

21
Q

How much crystalloid should be given

A

Less than 3L in the first 6 hours (warm not cold)

22
Q

What should be monitored from improvement once given fluids

A

Urine output, CVP, blood pressure, heart rate

23
Q

What is the absolute best way to reverse the acidosis caused by hemorrhagic stroke, other methods

A

Restore perfusion and oxygenation, sodium bicarbonate adminstration: serum bicarbonate 6mEq/L and pH is less than 7.1 (also aids in catecholamine response)

24
Q

When a patient has hemorrhagic shock what are the vasopressors that should be used to maintain BP (order from most used to least used)

A

Phenylephrine, Vasopressin, norephinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine

25
What are the factor deficeint coagulopathies
Hemophilia A: deficiency of Factor 8 Hemophilia B: deficiency of Factor 9 Von Willebrand disease: Deficiency in vWf
26
What expensive concentrate of blood plasma would be good for hemorrhage caused by coagulopathy and low fibrinogen
Cryoprecipitate
27
What are the three indications for hemostatic agents
disease state coagulopathy, trauma, medication reversal
28
What are the drugs that can be given for Hemophilia A induced coagulopathy, MOA
Desmopressin:increases plasma Factor 8 activity and Antihemophilic Factor: Replaces missing Factor 8
29
What are the drugs that can be given for Hemophilia B induced coagulopathy, MOA
Coagulation Factor 9 recombinant: Replaces missing Factor 9 Factor 9 Complex: Contains Factor 9,2,7, 10 Recombinant Factor 7a: Complexed with TF activates 9a and 10a PLUS converts prothrombin to thrombin
30
For the hemophilia factors how are they all administered, what should be monitored, what are the severe ADEs
Administered IV, bleeding and thrombosis along with factor activity, anaphylaxis and thrombosis
31
What other disease states can cause coagulopathies
liver cirrhosis, malabsorption, cancer, bacterial infections, intense exercise
32
What agent can be used for coagulopathies caused by other,MOA
Aminocaproic acid (amicar): inhibits activation of plasminogen which decreases the conversion to plasminogen to plasmin
33
What is the trauma induced coagulopathy hemostatic agent
Recombinant Factor 7a
34
What medications that cause coagulopathies can be reversed with other agents
Warfarin, Heparin, LMWH (partially)," Xabans",
35
What medications cant be reversed by other agents
Direct Thrombin inhibitors and Antiplatelets
36
What is the reversal agent heparin
Protamine
37
What is the reversal agent Wafarin
Vitamin K and Prothrombin Complex Concentrate
38
What does coagulation Factor Xa recombinant reverse and what is the Brand name
Rivaroxiban and apixiban, Andexxa
39
What is the monoclonal antibody used to reverse a direct thrombin inhibitor, which direct thrombin inhibitor, whats the brand name
Idarucizumab: Praxbind/ Dabigatran
