hemostasis

[himos′təsis, hē′məstā′sis]

Etymology: Gk, haima + stasis, halting

the termination of bleeding by mechanical or chemical means or by the complex coagulation process of the body, which consists of vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, and thrombin and fibrin synthesis. Also spelled haemostasis. Compare blood clotting. See also platelet, thrombus, vasoconstriction.

hemostasis [he″mo-sta´sis, he-mos´tah-sis]

1. arrest of the escape of blood by either natural means (clot formation or vessel spasm) or artificial means (compression or ligation).

2. interruption of blood flow to a part.

Hemostasis. From Polaski and Tatro, 1996.

arrest of the escape of blood by either natural (clot formation or vessel spasm) or artificial (compression or ligation) means, or the interruption of blood flow to a part, or the artificial stimulation of clotting, e.g. electrocautery, topical collagen.
