Hematology Week 1: Hemostasis Flashcards
(89 cards)
Hemostasis Definition
The stopping of a flow of blood
3 things that can kill the patient in seconds that are hemostatic disorders
Massive Stroke
Massive MI
Massive pulmonary embolism
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
The importance of balance in hemostasis

Vasoconstriction

Primary hemostasis
Platelet adhesion to injury sites
Secondary Hemostasis
formation of a fibrin clot

Fibrinolysis
enzymatic breakdown of fibrin clot
