This presentation will showcase case studies to enhance problem-solving in the coagulation laboratory. We’ll analyze diagnostic interpretation, therapeutic decisions, and pre-analytical issues, while suggesting cost-effective testing patterns. Attendees will gain insights into managing complex coagulation abnormalities and learn best practices for accurate, step-by-step testing to improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the role of different routine and specialized coagulation assays in diagnosis of hemostatic problems, especially thrombosis
- Present current methods for screening and confirmation of problems related to hypo- and hypercoagulability
- Correlate coagulation testing to specific clinical cases
