Antifibrinolytic

recent studies on the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) as an “anti-clot buster” have sparked interest in development of protocols allowing pre-hospital administration of the drug by EMS agencies in treatment for traumatic hemorrhage (Fox 2016). As an antifibrinolytic drug, TXA works to inhibit the breakdown of clots and reduce blood loss in trauma patients to fight the onset of hemorrhagic shock (Dubose et al., 2012). Following massive trauma, the body’s coagulative response works to promote normal clotting

Genetics and Genomics: Assignment 3 Tasha Blue Jacksonville State University NU 352: Health Assessment Across the Lifespan September 2016 Learning about von Williebrand Disease According to the National Hemophilia Foundation (n.d.), von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective von Willebrand factor (VWF), a clotting protein. VWF binds factor VIII, a key clotting protein, and platelets in blood vessel walls, which help

Management of Hemophilia in Maxillofacial Surgery: A Case Report Introduction: Hemophilia is an ancient disease, described “as early as in the fifth century AD, and was referred as Babylonian Talmud” (1).” A description of the disorder in the early 1800s by American physician Otto” (2), accurately described the pattern of inheritance. The “disease shows X chromosome linked hereditary transmission. As a result, women are able to carry the disease but do not suffer from it. The only exception is

From its evidential discovery with the Romanov Family to its appearance in the modern era, Hemophilia has become more prominent over time. Hemophilia is an inherited genetic disorder in which certain blood factors do not clot properly. Hemophilia can cause spontaneous bleeding episodes, and there are many ways to treat it. Hemophilia is caused by a variety of different things. Hemophilia is caused by clotting factors in the blood, inheriting it from family members, and acquiring it. Each

The article I chose to appraise is titled Tranexamic acid administration to pediatric trauma patients in a combat setting: The pediatric trauma and tranexamic acid study (PED-TRAX). It is a retrospective review of all the pediatric trauma admissions to North Atlantic Treaty Organization Role 3 Hospital, Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. Patients were treated between 2008 and 2012. They used the Joint Theater Trauma Registry which is a data collection of US coalition and civilian trauma casualty data which

Name: Hemophilia Overview: The Hemophilia is a rare disease in which the blood fails to clot normally; those suffering from hemophilia may bleed more than usual after an injury, you may also experience internal bleeding, especially in the knees, ankles and elbows, which can damage organs or tissues and endanger the patient's life. Hemophilia is usually an inherited disorder, which is transmitted from parents to children through genetic heritage; those suffering from hemophilia have clotting factors

Rangel-Castillo et al. (2008) state that induced hypothermia can be used as an adjunctive treatment for increased ICP when other medical treatments are not fully effective. Induced hypothermia, 32-34 degrees Celsius, may provide some neuroprotective effect to TBI patients by reducing the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption. A single degree decrease in temperature will drop the brain oxygen consumption rate by 5-7%, thereby maintaining cerebral metabolism. However, there is not enough data

that is only found in Europe, however, plasma infusions are used to stop bleeding in the United States. If treatments fail to proceed in positive effects there are ongoing treatments to provide extra help. Physical therapy, vaccinations, and antifibrinolytics are treatments that can reduce hemophilia symptoms. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining healthy dental hygiene can help avoid excessive bleeding. If a family member has this disorder it is a good idea to see a

Due to this genetic defect, blood clotting doesn’t occur because the blood lacks or doesn’t have any of the clotting proteins. From the outside, an outsider won’t be able to if you have this disorder, but what happens inside your body's internal bleeding especially into joints. A side effect of bleeding into joints is a type of crippling arthritis. And bleeding in the brain, throat, and abdomen which can be life threatening. A daily challenge with people with this disorder is worrying about internal
