    Synopsis

    The physiology and pathophysiology of hemostasis will be reviewed in detail, including a review of pharmacologic agents impacting hemostasis and thrombosis. A literature-based review of the perioperative management of patients on these medications will be provided and the future of pharmacologic agents in hemostasis will be reviewed.

    Learning Objectives
    1. Describe the physiology of hemostasis and the pathophysiology of disorders of hemostasis commonly seen in practice;
    2. List the contemporary medications impacting on hemostasis and their mechanisms of action, and describe how these medications impact clinical practice. Develop evidence-based protocols to perioperatively manage patients on anti-thrombotic medications; and
    3. Incorporate antithrombotic medications into their practice.
