3 Primary Hemostasis Collagen vwf Granule Contents Platelet-Vessel Interactions

4 Secondary Hemostasis X Extrinsic TF VIIa II XIII Fibrin Thrombin Va Xa TF VIIa IXa VIIIa Coagulation Pathways X XIa Intrinsic

5 Suspected Bleeding Disorder 1 o Hemostatic Defect (platelet/vessel wall)_ Mucocutaneous (spontaneous) Immediate after trauma / surgery Petechiae, ecchymosis (> 3 cm) 2 o Hemostatic Defect (coagulation factors)_ Deep tissue / joints Delayed after trauma Ecchymosis, purpura, hematoma, hemarthrosis Consider mixed / multifactorial pathophysiology

6 Suspected Bleeding Disorder Screening Tests for 1 o Hemostasis (1) Platelet count and blood smear Plt satellites on PMNs Large platelets & ITP Chris Lawrence

7 Suspected Bleeding Disorder Screening Tests for 1 o Hemostasis (1) Platelet count and blood smear (2) Platelet function Bleeding time (BT)* * Low sensitivity/specificity (may cause keloid scar) Platelet function analyzer (PFA-100 )** ** Requires platelet ct > 100,000/µL & Hct > 28%

8 PFA Closure Time Plt Function ADP or Epi Collagen Platelet Research Laboratory; Coll/Epi & Normal Coll/ADP Aspirin effect Coll/Epi & Coll/ADP Platelet dysfunction
