Question 1
Question
The vascular endothelium protects platelets from subendothelial aggregating substances i.e. collagen
Question 2
Question
Vasoconstriction around injured site helps coagulation how?
Answer
-
Reduced blood flow decreases pressure and loss of blood
-
Reduced blood flow brings coagulation factors into tissue contact more readily
-
Reduced blood flow decreases wall diameter, decreasing size of breach
Question 3
Question
Why is Fibrinolysis necessary?
Answer
-
It prevents inappropriate extension of the fibrin plug
-
Prevents clotting from damaging nearby cell
-
Prevents clotting in case of infected blood
Question 4
Question
To prevent inappropriate prevention of coagulation, where are coagulation inhibitors limited to?
Answer
-
Intact endothelium
-
Breached endothelium
-
Free flowing blood
Question 5
Question
Inhibitors are triggered by late products of coagulation
Question 6
Question
What is inhibited by the Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor?
Answer
-
FX reversibly
-
FX permanently
-
FVII
-
FV
Question 7
Question
Anthithrombin deactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system
Question 8
Question
Protein S & C work the same way
Question 9
Question
The Protein C pathway is initiated by what?
Answer
-
Thrombin
-
Antithrombomodulin
-
Antithrombin
Question 10
Question
Thrombomodulin works in the free flowing blood
Question 11
Question
Both thrombin and thrombomodulin work on the endothelial cell surface
Question 12
Question
What is the role of thrombomodulin?
Question 13
Question
Excess thrombin binds to thrombomodulin on intact cells, which allows it to be altered
Question 14
Question
Protein C acts as an anticoagulant by degrading Factors
Question 15
Question
Protein C needs Mg in order to function
Question 16
Question
Which of the following support Protein C activity?
Answer
-
Protein S
-
Inactive F V
-
Active F V
Question 17
Question
60% of patients with thrombophilia have a
Answer
-
Factor II deficiency
-
Protein C deficiency
-
Protein S deficiency
Question 18
Question
VTE = Venous Thromboembolism
Question 19
Question
What is thrombosis?
Question 20
Question
Name the risk factors for thrombophilia
Answer
-
Alteration in blood components i.e. pregnancy
-
Circulatory stasis i.e. venous problems
-
Artificial surfaces i.e. a STENT
Question 21
Question
VTE occurs when blood coagulation overwhelms fibrogenlysis/anticoagulant mechanisms
Question 22
Question
Thrombophilia is linked to Lupus Anticoagulant Syndrome
Question 23
Question
Name some examples where Anticoagulation therapy is necessarry
Question 24
Question
How is Heparin administered?
Answer
-
Intravenously
-
Subcutaneously
-
Ingestion
Question 25
Question
How does Heparin work?
Answer
-
Increases action of Antithrombin
-
Increases Protein C activity
-
Increases degredation of platelets
Question 26
Question
Why is Low Molecular Weight Heparin better?
Question 27
Question
Dabigatran is only used in cases of Atrial Fibrilation
Question 28
Question
Dabigatran is a FX inhibitor, Rivaroxabin is a thrombin inhibitor
Question 29
Question
Warfarin works how?
Question 30
Question
Without Vitamin K, why is coagulation so much slower?
Answer
-
Non carboxylated factors cannot bind to Ca2+
-
Non carboxylated factors cannot bind to phosphorylated
-
Non carboxylated factors cannot be inhibited
Question 31
Question
Warfarin is used when all four clotting factors are low
Question 32
Question
What is the leading dose of Warfarin?
Answer
-
6mg for 3 days
-
3mg for 6 days
Question 33
Question
What test is used to monitor warfarin activity?
Question 34
Question
What is the reference for Prethrombin Time?
Answer

Standard reference thromboplastin
-
Potency is ISI- International Sensitivity Index
-
Standard reference antithrombin
