100

What is the most common hemolytic anemia inherited

Hereditary Spherocytosis

100

What is the R time?

time takes for clot to start forming?

norm 5-10 min

100

if type I, 


CONTRAINDICATED in type II

100

250-400 ml


warfarin reversal is 5-8 ml/kg

200

vWfactor binds to platelets how?

Gp1b Receptors on platelet surface

200

Acute chest syndrome is PNA like complication with pulmonary infiltrates plus one of the following: list 5

chest pain, 

temp >38.5, 

tachypnea

Wheezing

cough

200

what would a TEG look like in the 1st stage of DIC?

short R time- hypercoaguable

High MA


200

What is the most common inherited coagulation disorder?

Von willebrands dx

200

What factors are in cryo?

1, 8, 13, vwf

300

What coagulation component stops tPa and urokinase from activating plasminogen to plasmin

Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 & 2

300

What is the primary cause of MACROCYTIC anemia

Folate & vitamin B12 def

caused from ETOH & malabsorption

300

If you had a large (long) alpha angle on your teg, what would you do?

give CRYO

its a problem with fibrinogen

b/c it checks the speed of fibrin formation

300

What lab would be the best to measure a liver patient's bleeding tests?

viscoelastography


PT/PTT do not reflect the hematologic state

300

If you give 1 unit of platelets, how much will the platelet count go up?

5000-10,000

400

What is the normal ACT?

90-150 (slides

90-120 (APEX)

400

What is the d/o where blood viscocity is high, and perfusion decreased with HCT >55%

polycythemia

400

If your pt had low platelets, how would you expect your teg to look?

MA would be smaller (vertical amp)

400

What do you treat hemophilia A with ?

A. DAVP, factor 8 concentrate, FFP or cryo


B. factor 9:PT concentrate, factor 9a, FFP


C. rarely needed, but FFP, XI:protrombin concentrate or recombinant XIa

400

What is the dose for cryoprecipitate?

1 u/5kg


will raise fibrinogen by approx 100 mg/dL

500

What does the aPTT check?

Instrinsic pathway

(all FACTORS except 3 & 7)

500

What are the 4 disorders of rbc metabolism?

1. Embeden-Meyerhof

2. Methemoglobin reductase

3. Luebering-Rapaport

4. Phosphogluconate

500

What is the Rtime + the time to MA?

it is the total time of clot formation
500

For pt with thrombocytopenia, what is the goal for platelet count before surgery- minimally?

Minor surgery 25,000

Major 50,000

Neuro 100,000

500

Why do we transfuse a patient?

1. replace the clotting factors

2. replace the fluid

3. increase O2 carrying capacity
