FIBRINOLYTIC PHASE Lab Tests Hemostasis •CBC-Plt •BT,(CT) •PT •PTT BV Injury Tissue Factor Neural Blood Vessel Constriction Platelet Aggregation Coagulation Cascade Primary hemostatic plug Reduced Platelet Activation Blood flow Fibrin formation Plt Study Stable Hemostatic Plug Morphology Function Antibody NORMAL CLOTTING Response to vessle injury 1. Vasoconstriction to reduce blood flow 2. Platelet plug formation (von willebrand factor binds damaged vessle and platelets) 3. Activation of clotting cascade with generation of fibrin clot formation 4. Fibrinlysis (clot breakdown) CLOTTING CASCADE Normally the ingredients, called factors, act like a row of dominoes toppling against each other to create a chain reaction. If one of the factors is missing this chain reaction cannot proceed. VASCULAR PHASE WHEN A BLOOD VESSEL IS DAMAGED, VASOCONSTRICTION RESULTS. PLATELET PHASE PLATELETS ADHERE TO THE DAMAGED SURFACE AND FORM A TEMPORARY PLUG. COAGULATION PHASE THROUGH TWO SEPARATE PATHWAYS THE CONVERSION OF FIBRINOGEN TO FIBRIN IS COMPLETE.

These antibodies are known as inhibitors. These patients are treated with high does of FVIIa for bleeds or surgery. This overrides defect in FVIII or FIX deficiency. Longterm management involves attempting to eradicate inhibitors by administering high dose FVIII (or FIX) in a process called immune tolerance Bleeding Disorders Clinical Features of Bleeding Disorders Platelet Coagulation disorders factor disorders Site of bleeding tissues Skin Mucous membranes Deep in soft (joints, muscles) (epistaxis, gum, vaginal, GI tract) Petechiae Yes No Ecchymoses (“bruises”) Small, superficial Large, deep Hemarthrosis / muscle bleeding Extremely rare Common Bleeding after cuts & scratches Yes No Bleeding after surgery or trauma Immediate, Delayed (1-2 Platelet Coagulation Petechiae, Purpura Hematoma, Joint bl.

Dental history Spontanous bruising Bleeding at surgery Bleeding into joints Menstrual bleeding Epistaxis One site only? Where ? When ? High yield questions        Family history Pattern of bleeding - where Difficult to stop or Re-bleeds Drug history Alcohol intake Co Morbid disease Physical Examination in Bleeding Disorders       Check sites of bleeding Is it local or generalized ? what are the manifestations, petichiae, ecchymoses, hematoma ? Are there vessel wall abnormalities, telangectasia, “palpable purpura, perifollicular hemorrhages” ? Are there signs of a connective disease process Are There signs of a systemic disease Laboratory testing  History and physical  Type of tests guided by clinical features  Screening tests  Further tests  Definitive tests Screening Tests     INR Extrinsic pathway PTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) intrinsic pathway Thrombin time final pathway Platelet count Laboratory tests further testing         INR PTT TT thrombin time Factor assays Tests of fibrinolysis platelet count platelet function tests Special tests Who is likely to bleed       Obvious Cirrhosis Renal dysfunction Age Drugs Right heart failure Interpretation of tests          If isolated abnormality likely a single defect eg PTT - possible hemophilia, vWd If unexplained do mixing test for inhibitor IF more than one abnormality then more complex eg.

PTT,TT heparin eg INR , PTT, TT, Platelets DIC or liver disease (Cirrhosis) New anticoagulants Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban Efficacy of route of administration Reversing INR with vitamin K        Depends on clinical scenario Complete reversal Partial reversal (too high INR) IV or oral forms prefered For complete reversal 5-10 mg IV q12h for 2 doses will reverse completely in 36-48 hours. 1-2 mg will decrease INR to therapeutic Level within 12-24 hrs ITP Immune thromboctopenic purpura       What is needed for diagnosis Bone marrow examination Anti platelet antibodies When isolated and very low ITP is most likely diagnosis Could be a part of another disease but not likely (SLE , inf mono) Does it require hospitalization ?
