INTRODUCTION Hemostasis is an ordered process involving cellular and biochemical components that functions to limit blood loss secondary to vascular injury, maintain intravascular blood flow, and promote revascularization after thrombosis. Normal physiologic hemostasis is a constant balance between procoagulant pathways…

Patient Blood Management: Coagulation

Key Points ▪ Normal hemostasis is a balance between generation of a localized hemostatic clot and uncontrolled thrombus formation. ▪ The extrinsic pathway of coagulation begins with exposure of blood plasma to tissue factor and represents the initiation phase of…
