    Study Notes

    Coagulation and Anticoagulation

    • Protein C inhibits thrombin-induced activation of factor VIII.

    Thrombus Formation

    • The main component of a thrombus is a platelet plug.
    • The main manifestation of clot formation in the venous circulation is swelling.

    Contraindications for Heparin Administration

    • Severe liver disease and elevated prothrombin time (PT) are contraindications for administering unfractionated heparin (UFH) due to its potential to induce bleeding.
    • Inability to supervise and monitor treatment constitutes a contraindication for unfractionated heparin (UFH).

    Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

    • Factor Xa mediates clot formation in deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
    • Symptoms of DVT include pain, swelling, and warmth.

    Heparin Therapy

    • If major bleeding occurs during unfractionated heparin therapy, protamine sulfate should be administered.
    • Common symptoms of bleeding associated with heparin therapy include bruising, petechiae, and easy bleeding.

    Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins (LMWHs)

    • The advantage of LMWHs over unfractionated heparin (UFH) is that they have a more predictable dose response and lower incidence of thrombocytopenia.
    • The major advantage of LMWHs over UFH in terms of clearance is that they are eliminated more slowly and have a longer half-life.

    Warfarin Therapy

    • Warfarin therapy monitors the international normalized ratio (INR).
    • Warfarin inhibits vitamin K-dependent clotting factors to exert its anticoagulant effect.

    Thrombolytic Agents

    • Thrombolytic agents are proteolytic enzymes that dissolve thrombi.
    • Thrombolytic agents do not have a direct effect on previously circulating clotting factors or formed thrombi.

    Risk Factors and Associations

    • Venous stasis is associated with venous thromboembolism.
    • A risk factor for venous thromboembolism is immobilization.

    Coagulation Cascade

    • Thrombin plays a key role in the coagulation cascade by enhancing platelet aggregation.
    • The pulmonary vascular endothelium complex inhibits the activity of thrombus arising from the systemic circulation in the pulmonary blood vessels.
    • Heparin binds to antithrombin to exert its anticoagulant effect.
