HAEMOSTATISHAEMOSTATIS
Haemostasis is prevention ofblood loss after rupture orinjury/trauma of blood vesselsHaemostasis is prevention ofblood loss after rupture orinjury/trauma of blood vessels
It is achieved through:It is achieved through:
–Vascular spasms–Vascular spasms
–Formation of platelet plug formation–Formation of platelet plug formation
–Blood coagulation i.e. Developmentof insoluble fibrin clot–Blood coagulation i.e. Developmentof insoluble fibrin clot
All generate an Action Potentialand cause Myogenic spasm(constriction) and REDUCE bloodflowAll generate an Action Potentialand cause Myogenic spasm(constriction) and REDUCE bloodflow
The spasm last less than 1 minThe spasm last less than 1 min
