Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring hemostasis in a connection with a recipient of an artificial surface device provide a multi-phase monitoring protocol. In a first, pre- and intra-operative phase, hemostasis of the recipient is monitored relative to preventing clot formation to achieve artificial surface patency. In a second, post operative phase hemostasis of the recipient is monitored relative to bringing about clot formation to achieve vascular recovery. In a third, stabilizing intensive care phase hemostasis of the recipient is monitored relative to balancing hemostasis toward an anti-coagulation bias. In a fourth, maintenance phase hemostasis is monitored relative to maintaining balanced hemostasis.

Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing hemostasis utilizing a communication network. A blood hemostasis analyzer tests a blood sample and provides a parameter indicative of hemostasis. The blood hemostasis analyzer is communicatively coupled via the communication network to an analysis tool. The analysis tool includes an algorithm operable on the parameter to provide a result. The diagnostic result may indicate normal hemostasis, a coagulopathy or other condition, and may provide a recommended course of treatment.

Abstract: A procedure for hemostasis and blood management, particularly for cardiovascular procedures, provides: sampling instructions, i.e., when to draw blood samples and how to pre-treat the blood samples, a decision tree to assist the interpretation of hemostasis analysis results allowing for the identification of various coagulopathies, and treatment suggestions related to the hemostasis analysis results. The analysis, interpretation and identification may be conducted by a suitably programmed computer.
