PT: which factors are you measuring?
Definition

Extrinsic

Thromboplastin --> 7 --> 10

Term
PTT: which factors are you measuring?
Definition
Intrinsic: 12 --> 11 --> 9 --> 7 --> 10
Term
Vit K deficiency causes long bleeding and affects intrinsic and extrinsic factors (2, 7, 9, 10, C, S). What is the first sign?
Definition
PT due to short 1/2 life of factor 7
Term
What does Vit K do?

CV
Term
What risk index is used to assess and stratify risk?
Definition

Goldman Cardiac Risk Index

 

S3 gallop, JVD = CHF

MI w/i 6 mo = CV injury

EKG abnormal = Conduction problem

>5 PVC / min = inc excitability

Age > 70 = inc comorbidity

Poor health = inc morbidity

Aortic stenosis = L ventricular outflow obstruction

Peritoneal/thoracic/aortic surgery = major surgery

Emergent = emergency surgery
