Essential Guide to Blood Coagulation

Written for interns, hematologists, other medical specialists, this two-color, almost-pocket reference (5.5x8.5") offers practical guidance on diagnosing and managing both the stable and the acute stages of hereditary and acquired thrombotic and bleeding disorders. Sections cover general hemostasis, bleeding disorders, thromboembolic disorders, and special issues (hemostasis in obstetrics and gynecology, hemostasis defects in children, and emergency conditions associated with coagulation activation). The book was originally published in Swedish as Coagulation News, and has been revised to include the latest treatment strategies.
