Anticoagulants Antiplatelet drugs Thrombolytics Presented by Mina Nady Max Vascular Surgeon Specialist - MRCS

Overview Hemostasis. Assessment of Coagulation System. Classifications of Drugs used to treat Clotting disorders. Examples of Anticoagulants. Examples of Antiplatelet drugs. Examples of Thrombolytics.

Hemostasis Definition: a mechanism that leads to cessation of bleeding from a blood vessel. ( hemo = blood ; stasis = standing ) Steps of mechanism: Vasoconstriction (VC). Platelet plug formation (1ry hemostasis). Fibrin plug formation (2ry hemostasis). Fibrinolysis. Regeneration.

Platelet plug formation (1ry Hemostasis): Endothelial injury. Exposure of sub-endothelial matrix proteins (e.g. collagen). Release of von Willebrand factor ( vWf ) & tissue thromboplastin. Platelet adhesion. to the sub-endothelial matrix (directly or indirectly via vWf ). Platelet activation. Shape change to  increase surface area. Degranulation: release of platelet agonists as ADP & TXA2. Platelet aggregation. Fibrinogen binds to activated fibrinogen receptor ( GPIIb / IIIa ) on platelets that links platelets together. Vasoconstriction (VC): Local reflexes, Thromboxane A2 & Serotonin release.

Fibrin plug formation (2ry hemostasis): Intrinsic pathway. Activated by exposure of blood components to Sub-endothelial matrix proteins (e.g. collagen). Extrinsic pathway. Activated by Tissue factors (e.g. tissue thromboplastin, tissue phospholipid). Common pathway. Activated by formation of Prothrombinase complex (factors Xa , Va , Ca & platelet phospholipid).

vWF III (Tissue factor pathway inhibitor)

Fibrinolysis (Fibrinolytic system) Plasminogen Plasmin Fibrin Fibrin degradation products (FDPs) Tissue plasminogen activator ( tPA ) Urokinase Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 & 2 (PAI) Alpha 2-antiplasmin Alpha 2-macroglobulin Factor XIa , XIIa , Kallikrein Thrombin Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor Protein C

Clotting factors

Assessment of Coagulation System Assessment What to test? Lab tests 1ry hemostasis Platelets Platelets counts PFA-100 Bleeding time 2ry hemostasis Coagulation factors PT, aPTT, INR Fibrinolytic system TPA FDPs, D-dimer

Test What to test? Normal range Platelets counts Platelets counts 150,000 to 450,000 /  microliter of blood PFA-100 (Platelet Function Analyzer-100) Platelet function, vWF level, Platelet number & Hematocrit <180 seconds Bleeding time Platelets counts, function & Vascular integrity ( time of small puncture wound to stop bleeding) 1-8 minutes PT (Prothrombin Time) Extrinsic & Common pathways (factors I, II, V, VII & X). (time that plasma takes to clot after addition of tissue factor) 11 to 13.5 seconds aPTT (activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) Intrinsic & Common pathways (all factors except factor VII) (time that plasma takes to clot after addition of Reagent) 30 to 40 seconds INR (International Normalized Ratio) Extrinsic & Common pathways (factors I, II, V, VII & X). (PT of the patient / PT of normal range mean) 0.8 to 1.1 FDPs (Fibrin Degradation Products) fragments of protein that released from fibrinogen & fibrin by action of plasmin < 10 mg/L D-dimer The most notable subtype of fibrin degradation products < .5 mg/L

D-dimer Units Adult First trimester Second trimester Third trimester mg/L or µg/mL < 0.5 0.05 - 0.95 0.32 - 1.29 0.13 -1.7 µg/L or ng/mL < 500 50 - 950 320 - 1290 130 - 1700 nmol /L < 2.7 0.3 - 5.2 1.8 - 7.1 0.7 - 9.3 Reference ranges

Classifications of Drugs used to treat Clotting disorders Anticoagulants : A medication used to prevent the formation of blood thrombus and to maintain blood vessels opened. Antiplatelet drugs : A medication that interferes with the normal function of blood platelets. Thrombolytics : A medication used to dissolve thrombus in blood vessels to improve blood flow.

Thrombolytic Therapy for Blocked Catheters Alteplase If ≥ 30 kg: Inject 2 mg in 2 mL of saline inside blocked catheter. If < 30 kg: fill 100% of the internal lumen volume of the catheter (but do not exceed 2 mg ). Leave the agent for 30 minutes to 2 hours, then withdraw it. Repeat the same dose if needed. If this is unsuccessful, 2 mg/50 mL may be infused (IV) over 4 hours. Urokinase 5000 IU in each lumen. Leave the agent for 1-4 hours, then withdraw it. Repeat with 10,000 U in each lumen if needed. Streptokinase 250,000 IU in 2 mL of saline in each lumen over 1-2 minutes. Leave the agent for 2 hours, then withdraw it.
