AB The  most  important  considerations  for  maintaining  surgical  hemostasis  begin  before  the  operation  starts.  This  chapter  provides  practical  tools  to  approach  patients  before,  during,  and  after  the  surgical  procedure.  Below  is  a  summary  explanation  of  normal  hemostasis,  and  how  it  can  be  conceptualized  into  four  basic  components.  Explanations  are  provided  to  illustrate  the  uses  and  limitations  of  the  routine  coagulation  tests.  Common  coagulation  disorders  are  briefly  discussed.  Preoperative  management  of  anticoagulants  is  discussed.  The  routine  clinical  application  of  these  basic  concepts  of  blood  coagulation  can  enhance  practice  and  benefit  patients.
