Summary

Perioperative management of hemostasis and coagulopathy is a complex, time-sensitive task for the anesthesiologist. The combination of anticoagulant medications and possible inherent bleeding disorders makes the ability to diagnose potential causes and risks of bleeding and guide therapy critically important. Point-of-care testing is an essential tool that has been used in clinical practice for decades and provides rapid results at the bedside. This chapter details recent advances in the monitoring of coagulation and hemostasis to assist the practitioner in guiding therapy, reduce the administration of unnecessary blood products, and improve patient outcomes
