Hemostasis in surgical practice
Hemostasis is a complex process requiring the delicately coordinated activation of platelets and plasma clotting factors to form a platelet-fibrin clot. It is a fundamental principle of good surgical practice. Hemostasis was first referenced in the battle of troy and has hence been developing along with the science of surgery.
