Why Hemostasis Matters
Captions available
The idea
Hemostasis, controlling bleeding, keeps the surgical field visible and protects the patient from blood loss.
In practice
The body's own hemostasis handles small vessels; larger vessels usually need surgical control with clamps, ties, clips or energy devices.
Where people slip
Excessive bleeding can become hemorrhage, one of the intraoperative complications the whole team prepares for.
