22HT00046 Understanding Hemophilia
February 24, 2022
5:00 PM Eastern, February 23, 2024
The estimated time to complete this activity is 120 minutes.
"Understanding Hemophilia" is a 6-part online learning activity that aims to enable clinicians at U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Centers to gain knowledge and develop expertise on the pathogenesis, inheritance, symptoms, potential complications, and clinical management of hemophilia.
This 6-part online learning activity introduces basic concepts of hemophilia.
Part 1: Pathogenesis & Inheritance examines the coagulation system and processes, the deficit in hemophilia that interferes with clot formation, differences among types of hemophilia, and the sex-linked inheritance pattern of hemophilia.
Part 2: Symptoms & Sequelae distinguishes bleeding patterns and clinical presentation of hemophilia based on severity, differentiates types of bleeding episodes, and discusses physical/psychosocial sequelae of hemophilia.
Part 3: Factor Concentrates & Hemophilia Management discusses episodic and prophylactic management of hemophilia with clotting factor concentrate, different factor therapy protocols, and nursing considerations in administration of clotting factor concentrates.
Part 4: Introduction to Inhibitors explains the immune response and inhibitor development, signs/symptoms and risk factors of inhibitors, the impact of inhibitors on persons with hemophilia, inhibitor treatment strategies and challenges, and the positive health outcomes of immune tolerance induction therapy.
Part 5: Emicizumab covers the novel agent emicizumab, including its indications, mechanism of action, dosing options, lab considerations; as well as management of breakthrough bleeding, the boxed warning of emicizumab, use of emicizumab concurrently with bypassing agents, and potential considerations in the management of persons with hemophilia with or without inhibitors who utilize emicizumab.
Part 6: Carrier Considerations reviews hemophilia sex-linked genetics and introduces recommendations for the management of carriers and women with hemophilia, neonatal diagnosis and circumcision in males with hemophilia, and key considerations of postpartum management of carriers and women with hemophilia.
This enduring material is intended for nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other clinical staff within the federally recognized U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) network who wish to develop an understanding of basic concepts of hemophilia. The activity is particularly appropriate for clinicians within their first six months of employment at an HTC.
