Objectives

• Identify the factors that influence the effectiveness of hemostatic processes.
• Describe the mechanisms that are involved in the arrest of blood flow from a damaged vessel.
• Identify key aspects associated with primary and secondary hemostasis.
• Explain the role of various coagulation components in hemostatic processes.
• Define the extrinsic, intrinsic, and common pathways that are part of the coagulation cascade, identifying the coagulation factors that are associated with each pathway.
• Describe the function of various laboratory tests in evaluating hemostasis.
• Identify common coagulation disorders, their symptomology, and subsequent treatment.
• Explain the role of the prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time in monitoring anticoagulation therapy.
