PY - 2017 T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Blood leaks or vascular occlusions may compromise blood delivery with potentially fatal consequences. The role of the hemostatic system is to maintain blood fluidity and to stop leaks once the vessel wall is damaged. It is a dynamic system maintained by a balance of factors that promote and factors that inhibit clotting. Disruption of this equilibrium leads to either bleeding or thrombotic complications.
