Coagulants

[tryingstudent]

Hi everyone. I'm in my first semester of nursing school and need a little help. I'm having to get some information on coagulants and can't seem to be turning up anything. I need some names of some coagulant (not anti-coagulant, I've found plenty on those) drugs. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thanks

Having known a hemophiliac, I hope this helps:
Amicar® (aminocaproic)
Factor VIII (Human): Alphanate® (antihemophilic factor (human))
Hemofil M® (antihemophilic factor (human))
Humate-P® (antihemophilic factor (human))

Antiinhibitor:
Feiba VH® (antiinhibitor coagulant complex)

In the ER, we use Thrombin sometimes to stop bleeding from road rash or on other site that won't stop bleeding.... It comes in a powder or a spray (both topical).

I can think of 3.

1. Vitamin K
2. FFP (Fresh Frozen Plasma)
3. Thrombin
