The program consists of five series of on-demand sessions that provide insights into diagnostic possibilities and interpretation of laboratory results in hemostasis and thrombosis.
Scroll through each series to see the topics that will be addressed and which health professionals are targeted, so you can attend those that suit your interests.
Series 1: Basic Coagulation
This series is recommended for specialists in clinical laboratory, hematology, intensive care, and emergency. By completing this basic coagulation module, you will learn:
- The importance of pre-analytical aspects on coagulation testing
- How basic coagulation and tests such as PT, aPTT, and fibrinogen can contribute to the diagnosis and related methodologies for optical and mechanical colorimetric/chromogenic assays
- Application and interpretation of tests in basic coagulation
Series 2: Bleeding Disorders
This series is recommended for specialists in cardiology, clinical laboratory, emergency, gynecology, hematology, and intensive care. Join us to learn the following:
- The diagnosis of bleeding disorders, severity, and whether they are hereditary or acquired based on laboratory tests
- Important pre-analytical impact related to platelet function, factors, and VWD
- Which assays are indicated, their applicability and methodologies, interpretation and comorbidities, and drug interactions that can affect assays for this type of pathology
Series 3: Thrombophilia
This series is recommended for specialists in cardiology, clinical laboratory, emergency, hematology, intensive care, neurology, and gynecology. Complete this thrombophilia unit to learn about:
- The various general diseases caused by thrombophilia, as well as their origin and how they occur (if they are acquired or hereditary)
- When and how to look for the presence of thrombophilia, and the role of clinical laboratory tests for diagnostic and prognosis follow-up
- The most harmful diseases caused by thrombophilia and forms of treatment/follow-up, indicated tests, applicability and methodologies, comorbidities, risk factors, drug interactions, and general interpretation
Agenda
Series 1: Basic Coagulation
Series 2: Bleeding Disorders
Series 3: Thrombophilia
Series 4: Anticoagulant Therapy
Series 5: Lupus Anticoagulant and Other Acquired Coagulopathies
