ANTICOAGULATION & FIBRINOLYSIS Vascular Wall Anti-Coagulation Factors Fibrinolytic Factors
ANTICOAGULATION & FIBRINOLYSISVascular Wall • Endothelial Cell • prostacyclin (PGl2) • heparan sulfate • thrombomodulin • tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) • Muscle • muscular dilation
Protein C • vit K dependent zymogen • produced in liver • inactivates Va and VIIIa Protein S • vit K dependent binding protein • co-factor for protein C • binds C4b-binding protein XII XI IX VIII VII X V II I XIII Stable clot
AnticoagulationHeparin • Heparin activates Antithrombin III (AT III) • AT III inactivates Thrombin and Factor Xa • rapid onset of action Laboratory monitoring: • aPTT : ~1.5X – 2.5X normal mean • heparin level : 0.2 – 0.4 U/mL by protamine titration 0.35 – 0.70 by Factor Xa inactivation assay XII XI IX VIII VII X aPTT V II I XIII Stable clot

Coagulation Tests 1. Bleeding Time : in vivo test measures adequacy of plt function normal : <6 min. 2. Platelet Count normal : >200,000/mL 3. aPTT : intrinsic pathway (XII, XI, IX, VIII, X, V) used to guide heparin therapy 4. 50/50 mixing study pt’s plasma + nl. plasma if mixing correct aPTT = Pt is deficient in intrinsic factor(s) no correction = circulating anticoagulants or inhibitors 5. Prothrombin Time (PT) : extrinsic pathway (II, VII, V, X) monitoring warfarin/coumadin effects
Coagulation Tests 6. Fibrinogen Level normal : 200 – 500 mg/dL 7. ADP platelet aggregation 8. Ristocetin aggregation test • test for presence or activity of vWF 9. Thrombin Time (TT) normal : 20 – 30 sec • measures 3rd stage of coagulation • prolonged if • def or abnormality of fibrinogen • presence of fibrin split products • presence of heparin
History & Physical Examaremost importantmost sensitivemost specificTests of Hemostasis
Antithrombin III (AT III) • naturally-occuring anticoagulant • binds to factors IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa (slow) • accelerated by heparin manyfold Implication: Heparin has almost NO anticoagulant action without AT III
Coagulation Factors Roberts HR, et al. Current Concepts for Hemostasis. Anesthesiology 2004;100:3. 722-30.
Fibrinolysis • Plasminogen →plasmin • Release of tPA by the endothelium • Lysis of clot→ FDPs or FSPs • Reopening of blood vessel
Laboratory MonitoringProthrombin Time (PT) • test of extrinsic pathway activity • measures vitamin K - dependent factors activity (factors II, VII, IX, X) • thromboplastin + Ca+2 to plasma = clotting time • normal values: 12-14 seconds • International Normalized Ratio (INR) ▪ standardizes PT reporting • normal values: 0.8 -1.2 seconds
Laboratory MonitoringProthrombin Time (PT) • monitors coumadin therapy • most sensitive to alteration in F VII levels • prolonged: 55 % ↓ of normal F VII activity • antithrombotic activity: reduction of factor II and factor X activity (after several days)
Laboratory MonitoringActivated Partial Prothrombin Time (aPTT) • test for intrinsic and common pathways • dependent on activity of all coagulation factors, except VII and XIII • normal values: 25 -35 seconds • monitors heparin tx & screen for hemophilia
Laboratory MonitoringActivated Prothrombin Time (aPTT) • prolonged: heparin, thrombin inhibitors, fibrin degradation products (FDP) • citrated plasma + surface activators + phospholipid • prolonged only if coagulation factors reduced to < 30 % of normal
Laboratory MonitoringActivated Clotting Time (ACT) • monitors heparin anticoagulation in the OR (cardiac and vascular surgeries) • normal values: 90 - 120 seconds
Laboratory MonitoringThrombin Clotting Time (TCT) • reflects abnormalities in fibrinogen → fibrin • plasma + excessive amount of thrombin • prolonged: heparin, thrombin inhibitors, low fibrinogen, dysfibrinogenemia • monitors hirudin, bivalirudin, LMWH tx • INR & PT may be normal or ↑ • TCT prolonged with adequate therapeutic levels
Laboratory MonitoringThromboelastography (TEG) • continuous profiles during all phases of clot formation • provides more accurate picture of in vivo coagulation process • to evaluate: • hypo / hypercoagulable state • hemophilia • dilutional coagulopathy • rare coagulation disorders anticoagulation tx • coagulation problems with liver transplantation
Thromboelastogram (TEG)
Bleeding time • monitors platelet function • not specific indicator of platelet function • not very reliable • very operator - dependent • variable from each institution
Bleeding time • other factors: degree of venostasis, depth and direction of incision • no evidence as • a predictor of risk of hemorrhage • useful indicator of efficacy of antiplatelet therapy • insensitive to mild platelet defects
