What treatments are indicated for a patient with severe abdominal pain and an INR of 4, and for a patient with vaginal bleeding and a platelet count of 5000?
Understand the Problem
The image presents two clinical scenarios with suggested treatments. The first describes a patient with severe abdominal pain and an INR of 4, suggesting administration of Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP). The second involves vaginal bleeding and a platelet count of 5000, suggesting steroid administration. These appear to be notes related to medical treatment protocols.
Answer
Severe abdominal pain and INR of 4: give FFP. Vaginal bleeding and platelet count of 5000: give steroids.
For a patient with severe abdominal pain and an INR of 4, Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) is indicated. For a patient with vaginal bleeding and a platelet count of 5000, steroids are indicated.
Answer for screen readers
For a patient with severe abdominal pain and an INR of 4, Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) is indicated. For a patient with vaginal bleeding and a platelet count of 5000, steroids are indicated.
More Information
FFP helps to correct the elevated INR by providing clotting factors, while steroids can help increase platelet count in cases of severe thrombocytopenia to reduce bleeding risk although platelet transfusion would be more typical.
