Hemostasis testing quality is determined by preanalytical
variables which encompass patient preparation, sample
collection, handling, transportation, processing and
storage. If any of the preanalytical variables are not
properly adhered to, incorrect or uninterpretable
results are reported resulting in possible adverse patient
consequences or delays in treatment. This webinar
will provide background on commonly performed
coagulation screening tests but also discuss the
impact of preanalytical variables on these tests.

When patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
are admitted into the hospital, there may be a need for
bridging parenteral anticoagulation especially for those
at high risk of thrombosis recurrence. By presenting
information on DOAC interference in laboratory assays,
institutional experience, and case studies, this webinar
will address questions surrounding management of
patients on DOAC therapy.

According to the National Trauma Institute, trauma
accounts for 41 million emergency room visits and
2.3 million hospital admissions annually in the US,
resulting in an overall annual economic burden of $671
billion in healthcare costs and productivity losses. This
educational presentation will outline the clinical issues
along with diagnostic and treatment practices enabling
participants to learn how to implement these practices
in their local settings.

Each webinar will be available for one day only at www.Stago-Edvantage.com
