Cards

Term
Bleeding associated with dentistry
Definition
1. Surgery and Trauma
2. Tooth extraction
3. Perio. therapy
4. Vital pulpal exposure
Term
What can make bleeding abnormal?
Definition
1. Duration
2. Volume Lost
3. Extra treatment required
Term
Haemostasis
Definition
The prevention of blood loss
Term
Haemostasis mechanism
Definition
1. Vascular spasm
2. Platelet plug formation
3. Blood coagulation
4. Growth of fibrous tissue
Term
Vascular spasm
Definition
1. Prevents excessive blood loss
2. Smooth muscle in the vessel wall contracts
3. Vessel diameter reduced
Term
Formation of platelet plug mechanism
Definition
1. Platelet adhesion
2. Platelet release action
3. Platelet aggregation
Term
1. Platelet adhesion
Definition
Platelets detect damage to a blood vessel and adhere to damaged surface
Term
2. Platelet release action
Definition
Once stuck platelets begin to change. First create extensions to communicate. Second release their contents- this stimulates nearby platelets and cause vasoconstriction
Term
3. Platelet aggregation
Definition
Platelets become sticky and adhere to each other. Creates a platelet plug which stops the loss of blood through small holes in vessels
Term
Two clotting cascade pathways
Definition
Intrinsic - blood plasma
Extrinsic - tissue damage
Term
Intrinsic pathway initiator
Definition
Factor XII
Term
Extrinsic pathway initiators
Definition
TF- VII and Factor III
Term
What is prothrombin (factor II) converted to?
Definition
Thrombin (factor IIa)
Term
What effect does thrombin have on fibrinogen?
Definition
Converts fibrinogen to fibrin monomers which can then make fibrin polymers
Term
What roles does factor XIII have?
Definition
Creates covalent bonds between fibrin polymers which then create a cross linked fibrin meshwork
Term
What activates prothrombin?
Definition
Factor Xa
Term
What increases the effect of Factor X?
Definition
Factor V - positive feedback loop
Term
What activates factor X?
Definition
Factors III, TF-VIIa and IXa
Term
Effects of blood loss?
Tissues
Stomach
Definition
1. Bruising
2. Vomiting
Term
What does reduced blood volume cause?
Definition
Shock
Term
Tests of bleeding function for warfarin?
Definition
INR - international normalised ratio
Term
Test of bleeding function for heparin?
Definition
APTT - activated partial thromboplastin time
Term
Fibrinolytic system
Definition
Plasminogen converted to plasmin which degrades fibrin clot. Degredation products when endocytosed by macrophages
Term
Effect of warfarin
Definition
Prevents the action of vitamin K. Prevents carboxylation of clotting factor precursors
Term
Role of vitamin K
Definition
Required for production of Factors 2, 7, 9 and 10 in the liver
Term
Effect of anitbiotics on warfarin
Definition
Enhances effect of warfarin
Term
Clotting factor half lives
Definition
Up to 60 hours
Term
Time taken for warfarin to take effect
Definition
7 days
Term
Reasons for patients on warfarin
Definition
1. Heart valve abnormalities
2. Thromboembolytic disease
3. Atrial fibrillations
4. Cardiac/vascular abnormalities
Term
When is blood INR taken in warfarin protocol?
Definition
Day of surgery
Term
What is the determining INR value?
Definition
4
Term
INR 4 or less?
Definition
Proceed with surgery using any neccessary antibiotics and LA
Term
After surgical extraction?
Definition
Place surgicel in pocket with layer of Vicryl Rapide on top. Then keep for 30 minutes
Term
After 30 minutes following surgical extraction?
Definition
Check if bleeding stopped. If not apply further local measures. If stopped bring back in one week for review.
Term
Asprin mechanism
Definition
Irreversibly binds to platelets. Inactivates COX required for thromboxane A2 mediated aggregation
Term
Ibuprofen mechanism
Definition
Binds to platelets reversibly
Term
Use of asprin
Definition
Same as warfarin
Where platelet aggregation (thrombi) likely to occur in vascular systyem
Term
Antifibronolytic drugs use
Definition
Haemophilliacs to back up factor VII replacement
Term
Use for warfarin patients?
Definition
Effective as a mouthwash for heamostasis in warfarin anticoagulant patient for XLA
Term
Implications of antifibrinolytic effectiveness
Definition
That fibrinolysis is an important factor in prolonged bleeding
