  • ACS or stroke

    What is the main outcome of White Clots?

  • DVT, PE

    What is the main outcome of Red Clots?

  • form in areas of low pressure/stagnation

    How do red clots form?

  • white; red

    ________ clots have a slow rate of formation while _______ clots have a fast rate of formation.

  • red; white

    _______ clots occur in low flow system (venous) while _______ clots occur in

    a high flow system. (arterial)

  • true

    Clots in the thigh are more likely to break off vs. other parts of the body. T/F?

  • higher during childbearing years

  • cancer, protein c/s deficiency, IBS, nephrotic syndrome, heart failure, pregnancy

    Medical conditions that can increase hyper-coagulation? (6)

  • D-Dimer

    -by product of fibrin degradation; clots are composed of fibrin

  • unilateral pain, erythema, warmth, swelling

    Symptoms of DVT? (4)

  • dilated superficial veins, elevated d-dimer, homan's sign

    Signs of DVT? (3)

  • compression ultrasound

    -an ultrasound of the leg looking for DVT

  • computed tomographic angiography (CTPA)

    -an x-ray post dye-injection to see pulmonary vasculature

  • ventilation/perfusion scan (V/Q)

    -uses radioactivity to see what parts of the lungs are getting air

  • the first 180 days after initial

    When is recurrent VTE the highest?
