Abstract

With the development of veterinary medicine and the increasing number of surgical patients, proper
surgical procedures, haemostasis and preventing postoperative complications have become more important. Precision in performing surgical procedures reduces intraoperative complications, and significantly reduces the occurrence of postoperative complications. One of the most common and life-threatening complications is bleeding, so proper haemostasis is extremely important in surgical patients. Success of haemostasis during surgical procedures is greatly facilitated by a wide selection of sterile topical haemostatic agents. Some surgical procedures are impossible to complete if there are disorders of the physiological process of coagulation. Any surgical procedure that is associated with clotting disorders can lead to more serious complications. It is therefore important to be acquainted with coagulation disorders in order to be able to identify and treat them. Recognizing and treating blood clotting disorders is facilitated by many laboratory tests and tests to diagnose these disorders.
