51
Q

heparin

A

proteoglycan. sythesized by mast cells. makes antithrombin more effective, inactivating IIa, IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa. Acute TE, after non-hemmorhagic stroke, DIC. IV or SQ. narrow TI. safe for pregnancy

52

specifically inactivates Xa. longer half-life and more predictable kinetics. less likely to cause HIT, but patients with HIT can’t be given LMWH. supplanting standard heparin. for some reason does not prolong PTT in vitro

53
Q

HIT/HATT

A

anti-body mediated thrombocytopenia (with thrombosis). antibodies against heparin+platelt protein. 5-10 days after drug or 24 hrs if previously sensitized.

54

55
Q

56
Q

Rivaroxiban/apixaban

A

57
Q

warfarin/coumadin

A

blocks recycling of vitamin K. decreases 2, 7, 9, 10 (anticoag) and C/S (transient procoag). range of half-lifes. patients on Abx at risk for bleeding. binds to albumin, metabolized by P450. risk of bleeding, not safe with pregnancy. skin necrosis (induction with heparin). prolongs PT. target INR varies. higher INR = higher risk of bleeding.

58
Q

fibrinolytics

A

streptokinase, urokinase, t-PA. break up clots in PE, MI, arterial occlusion, DVT. bleeding, reactions (expecialy strepto). risk of bleeding.
