5737 An Overview of Hemostasis

Thursday, October 28 9:30 am - 11:30 am

This in-depth course will provide an overview and update of hemostasis, including coverage of coagulation and fibrinolysis testing, as well as a brief review of laboratory evaluation of the most common thrombophilic risk factors. Case studies will be used to demonstrate many of the assays and concepts. Discussions will include frequently ordered hemostasis assays, laboratory evaluation for lupus anticoagulants, and much more. You will leave with the ability to:

Identify hemostasis assays that should be performed in patients with a bleeding diathesis but normal APTT and PT assays and interpret the results.
Implement evaluation of an abnormal APTT and/or PT.
Identify the assays commonly performed to evaluate for thrombophilia.
Recognize the clinical utility of certain assays used to evaluate for the presence of a lupus anticoagulant.

Moderator:
Dorothy M. Adcock-Funk, MD, FASCP, Esoterix

A259 Anticoagulation Therapy Optimizing Patient Safety

Saturday, October 30 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm

Get an overview of the laboratory monitoring of both established and new anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs. You will learn about identifying commonly misordered tests, tests that are affected by the draw times, the ways in which pharmacogenetics can optimize dosing and identify poor metabolizers, and ways to improve laboratory reports. You will leave with the ability to:

Discuss the pharmacology and laboratory monitoring of both established and newer anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications.
Recognize the ways in which pharmacogenetics optimize dosing or identify poor-metabolizers.
Identify ways in which the laboratory can improve the safety of patients on anticoagulant therapy.
