Antiplatelet Anticoagulant Thrombolytic Agents

Course Overview

Learners can learn about the different types of antiplatelet anticoagulant thrombolytic agents, their mechanisms of action, and their potential adverse effects. They can also learn about platelet plug formation, the coagulation cascade, and fibrinolysis. Additionally, learners can gain an understanding of the neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, and peripheral and central vascular events associated with these agents. They can also learn about the use of these agents for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, prevention of circuitry/catheter clotting, and drug level monitoring. Finally, learners can gain an understanding of drug reversal and practice problem solving related to antiplatelet anticoagulant thrombolytic agents.
