caused by damaged what?

Definition

Middle meningeal artery

Lens shaped on CT (biconvex)

initial loss of consciousness-->lucid period-->deterioration

crescent shaped on CT

 

can be chronic in elderly after minor fall

Term
Clotting factor with the shortest half-life?
Definition
F VII
Term
Mechanism of action of DDAVP?
Definition

Release VWF and VIII from endothelium

 

(useful in patients with renal failure too)

Term

Two most common uses for Cryoprecipitate?

 

(other than in the CT SICU)

Definition

Von Willibrand's disease

and

Hemophilia A (F VIII deficiency)

 

*Cryo contains highest concentration of VWF and VIII*

Term

Prostacyclin (PGIis produced by what?

 

What is its function?

Definition

Produced by ENDOTHELIUM

 

DECREASES platelet aggregation and promotes vasoDILATION

Term

Where is THROMBOXANE (TXA2) produced?

 

What is its function?

Definition

Produced by PLATELETS

 

INCREASES platelet aggegation by exposing GIIb/IIIa receptor

&

vasoCONSTRICTION (Ca release via PIP signaling)

Term
Best test for synthetic liver function?
Definition
PT
Term
Treatment of Von Willebrand's (type I and III)?
Definition
DDAVP or Cryoprecipitate
Term
Treatment of VonWillebrand's Type II?
Definition
Cryoprecipitate
Term
Abnormal coag profile in Hemophilia A and B?
Definition
Prolonged PTT, normal PT
Term
Abnormal bleeding profile in Factor VII deficiency?
Definition
Prolonged PT, normal PTT
Term
Coag abnormalities in Von Willebrand's Disease:
Definition

Prolonged PTT

Long bleeding time

+ Ristocetin test

 

(3 types, 3 abnormalities)

Term
Pathophysiology of Glanzman's Thrombocytopenia and treatment:
Definition

GIIb/IIIa deficiency, so platelets can't bind to one another.

 

Tx = PLATELETS!

Term
Pathophysiology of Bernard-Soulier disease and treatment?
Definition

GpIb receptor deficiency (plts can't bind to collagen--VWF normally links the two)

 

Tx = PLATELETS!

Term
Mechanism of action of plavix (clopidogrel)?
Definition

ADP receptor antagonist

 

(decreases ADP-dependent platelet aggregation)

Term
