1
Q

Which drugs bind to AF?

A

UF, LMWH, fondaparinux

2
Q

What does AT do?

A

inactivates thrombin and other proteases involved in blood clotting, including factor Xa LMWHs inhibit factor Xa more specifically

3
Q

MOA of warfarin?

A

vitamin K antagonist

4
Q

What factors are involved in clotting?

A

factors II, VII, IX, X

5
Q

MOA of direct thrombin inhibitors?

A

block thrombin directly, decreasing amount of fibrin

6
Q

What is the choice for HIT?

A

argatroban

7
Q

What are factor Xa inhibitors?

A

apixaban, betrixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban

8
Q

MOa of UFH

A

binds to AT which then inactivates thrombin (factor IIa) and factor Xa and prevent conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin

9
Q

UFH prophylaxis of VTE?

A

5,000 units SC Q8-12H

10
Q

UFH treatment of VTE?

A

80 units/kg IV bolus and then 18 units/kg/hr infusion

Which medications can increase bleeding risk with UFH and LMWH?

A

anticoagulants, antiplatelet, herbals, NSAIDs, SSRI, SNRI, thrombolytics

17
Q

What is HIT?

A

immune mediated IGG drug reaction that is associated with a high risk of venous and arterial thrombosis

18
Q

HIT can lead to?

A

further platelet activation and causes a release of PF 4 and other pro coagulant micro-particles (prothrombotic state)

19
Q

When does HIT usually start?

A

5-14 days and platelet drop 50%

20
Q

HIT treatment?

A

Stop all forms of heparin and LMWH and warfarin and admin vitamin K –> argatroban –> do not start warfarin until platelet have recovered to at least 150,000
