Streptokinase is a thrombolytic medication activating plasminogen by nonenzymatic mechanism. [1] As a medication it is used to break down clots in some cases of myocardial infarction (heart attack), pulmonary embolism, and arterial thromboembolism. [2]
In PE, INRs between 2.0 and 3.0 are generally considered ideal. [5] If another episode of PE occurs under warfarin treatment, the INR window may be increased to e.g. 2.5–3.5 (unless there are contraindications) [ citation needed ] or anticoagulation may be changed to a different anticoagulant e.g. LMWH. [ 5 ]
Bleeding occurs in 30 to 40% of those receiving ECMO and can be life-threatening. It is due to both the necessary continuous heparin infusion and platelet dysfunction. Meticulous surgical technique, maintaining platelet counts greater than 100,000/mm 3, and maintaining the target activated clotting time reduce the likelihood of bleeding ...
Thrombolysis, also called fibrinolytic therapy, is the breakdown of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication.It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and in cases of severe venous thromboembolism (massive pulmonary embolism or extensive deep vein thrombosis).
Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is a medication and naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan. [3] [4] Heparin is a blood anticoagulant that increases the activity of antithrombin. [5] It is used in the treatment of heart attacks and unstable angina. [3] It can be given intravenously or by injection under the skin. [3]
2 points if the fall is between days 5–10 after commencement of treatment 1 point if the fall is after day 10. If someone has been exposed to heparin within the last 30 days and then has a drop in platelet count within a day of reexposure, 2 points are given. If the previous exposure was 30–100 days ago, 1 point

DVT and PE are the two manifestations of the cardiovascular disease venous thromboembolism (VTE). [2] VTE can occur as DVT only, DVT with PE, or PE only. [3] About two-thirds of VTE manifests as DVT only, with one-third manifesting as PE with or without DVT. [12] VTE, along with superficial vein thrombosis, are common types of venous thrombosis ...
