Q

What is the vascular response in hemostasis

A

vessel contract and almost immediately when injured, this narrows the lumen of the vessel, which decreases rate of blood loss and creates an area for platelets to adhere

Q

What is the platelet response in hemostasis?

A

-become “sticky” (adhere to vessel wall and each other)
-this requires von Willebrand factor, which serves to stabilize the platelet plug
-granules become activated and release, which send a message to begin the Coagulation Cascade

36
Tx of a severe bleeding episode requires
transfusion of canine blood products
37
_ products can be transfused pre-operatively to prevent surgical hemorrhage
plasma
38
_ _ can also be used to improve hemostasis in dogs with mild subtype (Type 1) vWD
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP)
39

sutures, bandages, or wound glue
40
Dogs affected with vWD should not be given drugs that interfere with normal blood clotting mechanisms, These drugs include:
aspirin, sulfa-type antibiotics, and heparin
41

50%
42
2 Hemostasis- Synopsis requires
coagulation factors and cofactors (calcium, tissue factors, vitamins)
43
Coagulation factors all made in the _
liver
44
Cascade=
conversion of inactive factors to active factors (like domino effect)
45
Synopsis is _ lasting (minutes to hours)
long
46
When do coagulation factors become activated?
when blood vessel or tissue injury occurs, or in co-operation with platelets, produce a clot at the site of injury
47
There are _ different clotting factors. These factors are activated in a specific sequence following two different pathways or sequences
13
48
What are the pathways of coagulation
intrinsic, extrinsic, and a final common pathway
49
What pathway is described? -ALL component needed for this pathway are present in the blood -Outside tissue damage is NOT needed to stimulate this pathway -Contact activation= activated by contact with collagen and some platelet products -Has factors XII, XI, IX, VIII (cost $12 not $11.98)
Intrinsic
50
What pathway is described? -Requires a tissue factor for activation (tissue factor= thromboplastin) -Thromboplastin is released from injured cells of any kind -Reacts with factor VII
Extrinsic

Common
52
What are the Vitamin K dependent factors?
II, VII, IX, X
53
In 2 Hemostasis- production of coag factors, the liver synthesizes all factors except part of factor _

spontaneous bleeding
59
Dx of hemophilia A
Lab test called APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) can test for clotting disorders but cannot distinguish among the various types of hemophilia

61
2 Hemostasis acquired defects
-Deficiency of Vitamin K-dependent factors -Liver disease/failure -DIC
62
What is DIC
Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy -small clots for throughout the body which results in consumption of coagulation factors and then hemorrhage occurs
63
DIC is secondary to conditions like
heat stroke, viremia, endotoxemia, massive necrosis, trauma, septicemia, IV hemolysis
64

lysis of a clot or thrombus through activation of plasminogen into plasmin
67
What is plasminogen called when it binds with fibrin (clot) and becomes activated
plasmin
68
Bound plasmin hydrolyses fibrin which produces
FDPs (fibrinogen degradation products)
69
FDPs have _ activity; block thrombin and inhibit platelets
anticoagulant
70
Fibrinolysis defects
Excessive FDP/FSP production (DIC and liver failure)
71
