Practical-Haemostasis.com
Welcome to Practical-Haemostasis.com. This site is designed to teach you practical laboratory haemostasis and was written for laboratory staff, doctors in training and anyone who has an interest in haemostasis. Its origins are based upon a series of seminars that have run in Cambridge for some years and from numerous requests for practical data interpretation exercises in haemostasis.
The aim of the site is to allow you work through the various tests and to have hands-on experience of data-interpretation with the answers provided and an explanation of why (we think) the answers are correct.
We have included comprehensive data on the interpretation of the various tests and we hope, useful comments. Much of this is based upon our own experience but also from a comprehensive review of the published literature.
The site is free to use but we would ask that you register with us so that we know who is using the site [see Guest Book on the Navigation Bar]. Feel free to leave your comments and in particular anything that you would like to see on this site. You can also email us if you like. Just click on 'Contact Us' on the Navigation Bar and this should load your email programme. If not our email address is: mail@practical-haemostasis.com.
Any information you send us is confidential and will not be forwarded on to any third parties.
We aim to make the site an invaluable aid for laboratory haemostasis and as up-to-date as possible. In addition we plan to include those tests that we still read about but are not in routine laboratory practice.
At the moment many parts of the site are still under construction and in evolution - keep coming back!
How to Use This Site
The site is very straightforward to use. The navigation bar on the left will guide you through the site. We have added links on various pages to speed the process. Clicking on a link will take you to a different but relevant part of the site.
The Data Interpretation Section includes both Questions and Answers with an explanation as to how these answers were arrived at. You can navigate to this area either by working through a particular section in which case you will find the Data Interpretation Section at the end of the page. Alternatively if you click on the Data Interpretation Section on the menu bar you will be taken to a separate page which lists all the Data Interpretation Question topics and from which you can choose a topic of interest to you.
To overcome the problems with printing out Web pages - each page can be viewed and printed as an Adobe .pdf file. You will need Adobe reader to view these. Click HERE to go to the Adobe site and download the relevant browser for your operating system.
