An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Coagulation
The ability to control bleeding hinges primarily on the availability of both platelets and coagulation factors, as well as their adequate functionality.
It is important to note, however, that there are limits in the size, or the degree of damage that can be controlled and repaired without outside (medical) intervention.
As one may expect, and the prior chart illustrates, damage to a larger vessel yields a more substantial bleed, and in turn consumes a greater quantity of coagulation components.
These variables can radically alter the effectiveness of hemostatic control mechanisms.
