Coagulation assays are screening tools, interpret with specimen quality, reagent context, and institutional reference intervals.

  • Describe 1:1 patient: normal plasma mix procedure
  • Interpret immediate correction vs persistent prolongation
  • Distinguish time-dependent inhibitor (e.g., factor VIII inhibitor) requiring incubated mix per protocol
  • Acknowledge institutional variation in correction thresholds and incubation times
