Abstract
A review is presented of those aspects of hemostatic mechanisms that differ between neonates and older children. Practical laboratory tests to evaluate bleeding disorders in the newborn infant are discussed, as are the most frequently encountered primary and secondary conditions that affect hemostasis, both in the otherwise healthy newborn and in the sick low birthweight infant. Pathophysiology and treatment approaches will be briefly reviewed.Entities:
