Introduction to Hemostasis

Hemostasis is a complex physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It's crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system, as it ensures that our blood remains fluid while still within the vascular network and yet clots to prevent blood loss upon vessel injury.
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development of global haemostasis assays.
  • To summarize the current state-of-the-art in global haemostasis testing.
  • To discuss the clinical applicability and future directions of these assays.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on global haemostasis assays.
  • Summary of assays measuring thrombin and plasmin generation.
  • Inclusion of turbidity and thromboelastography/thromboelastometry methods.

Main Results:

  • Global haemostasis assays are under development, combining multiple factors.
  • Existing assays cover various aspects of the haemostatic process.
  • No single assay currently meets all desired criteria for sensitivity and specificity.

Conclusions:

  • Global haemostasis assays hold promise for improved diagnostics.
  • Automation and miniaturization are key future developments for standardization.
  • These advancements are expected to enhance the clinical utility of global haemostasis assays.
