Hemostasis Flashcards
(99 cards)
what are the 3 parts to hemostasis?
- Primary hemostasis
- Secondary Hemostasis
- Anticoagulation
What is the main Factor in Hemostasis?
platelet
what is part 1 of hemostais and what if the main objective
Primary hemostasis
Platelet plug
what is part 2 of hemostasis and what if the main objective
Secondary Hemostasis
Fibrin production
what is part 3 of hemostasis and what if the main objective
Anticoagulation
break down clot
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
what are the 3 steps in primary hemostasis?
- Adhesion
- Activatiion
- Aggregation
ALL A’s
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
How is Adhesion accomplished?
Adhesion of platelets to damaged vascular wall
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
Adhesion of the platelets requires what hemostasis factor
vWF (VIII)
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
how is activation accomplished?
activation of platelets requires thrombin (factor IIa)
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
how is aggregation accomplished?
aggregation of platelets requires ADP and thromboxane A2
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
again the main ingrediant to all hemostasis is what?
the platelet
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
what is required for adhesion
vWF
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
what is required for activation?
thrombin (IIa)
Steps in primary Hemostasis:
what is required for aggregation
ADP
Thromboxane A2
Adhesion of Platelets:
what is platelets life span
8-12 days
Adhesion of Platelets:
normal platelet count
150,000-400,000 cells/mL
Adhesion of Platelets:
Approx 33% of platelets are sequestered where?
Spleen
Adhesion of Platelets:
what factor Adheres platelets to the collogen layer of the subendothelium?
vWF
Adhesion of Platelets:
vWF is synthesized and reeased from where?
endothelial cells
Adhesion of Platelets:
the illistration show vWF anchoring platelets to the wall of a damaged blood vessel.
this is the adhesion aspect of the primary hemostasis

Adhesion of Platelets:
Magnified look at how vWF anchors platelets

Adhesion Disorders:
what is the most common inherited coagulation defect
von Willebrands disease
Adhesion Disorders:
what is the 1st line treatment for von Willebrands disease
D-amino-D-arginine vasopressin (desmopressin, DDAVP)
Adhesion Disorders:
how does DDAVP work
causes release of endogenous stores of vWF
