Introduction to Hemostasis Webinar

Coagulation is a balancing act in our blood between the risk for bleeding and the risk for thrombotic events. In this presentation, you will learn about the different stages of coagulation, the most commonly ordered assays in hemostasis, and the related clinical indications for a hemostasis assessment.
At the end of this session you will be able to:
Describe the different stages of coagulation
Describe the clinical indications for a hemostasis assessment
Describe the most commonly ordered assays in hemostasis
