Study Notes
Critical Bleeding
- Critical bleeding can occur during surgery, medicine, and obstetrics.
- Critical bleeding can be a life-threatening condition.
Blood Coagulation
- Understanding traditional and cell-based models of coagulation helps pharmacists explain pharmacotherapeutic mechanisms of action.
- Knowledge of blood coagulation allows pharmacists to appropriately use therapies for managing and arresting blood loss.
Hemostatic Function Studies
- Hemostatic function studies were conducted on twelve patients with elevated blood non-protein nitrogen (urea).
- Eleven patients displayed platelet abnormalities.
- Three patients had mild thrombocytopenia.
- Eight patients had thrombocytopathia.
- Four patients showed deficiencies in two or more plasma factors: prothrombin, proconvertin, proaccelerin, or PTC.
