1. What are the main components we look at with coagulopathy?: Answer 1. RBC 2. Platelets 3. Fibrin 2. Generally, the rupture of smaller or more manageable blood vessels is managed via a three-step process.These steps are:: Answer 1. Vascular spasm (vaso-constriction) 2. Formation of a platelet plug/coagulation 3. Fibrinolysis (prevents clots from growing too large) 3. Failure of any part of the three step process that manages ruptured bloodvessels will result in...: Answer Hemorrhage 4. The coagulation cascade has two pathways, which are:: Answer 1. Extrinsic - triggered via vascular insult or trauma that allows blood to escape the vascular system 2.Intrinsic - (begins in bloodstream) is triggered via internal damage to vessel walls 5. What is hyper-coagulability?: Answer A condition in which coagulation is unbalanced,resulting in excessive thrombus formation. 6. What are the three components of Virchow's triad?:
