About this book
New edition of a concise, comprehensive, easy-to-read pocket book distilling the most clinically up-to-date information on thrombotic and bleeding disorders
In a concise manner, Blombäck's Essential Guide to Blood Coagulation distills the most clinically up-to-date information on thrombotic and bleeding disorders, including the latest treatment strategies for key conditions and diseases. This book covers both the stable and the acute stages of hereditary and acquired bleeding and thrombotic disorders in adults, children, and geriatric patients. It also highlights the laboratory tests that can aid in diagnosing and identifying the cause of bleeding and/or thrombosis in a patient.
The book is organized into four main sections, each featuring numerous updates in this new edition. The first part introduces the reader to laboratory hemostasis and hemostasis physiology. The second part covers bleeding disorders, including a new chapter on bleeding disorders and aging. The third part discusses thromboembolic disorders, with a new chapter on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The final section addresses special issues in hemostasis, with new chapters on hemostasis in renal disease, liver disorders, and cancer, as well as updated information on thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
This edition of Blombäck's Essential Guide to Blood Coagulation also includes updates on:
- Hemostasis in COVID-19 and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a rare condition observed during pandemic

- The greater paradigm shift in the treatment of hereditary bleeding disorders since the last edition was published
