Hemostasis is a complex physiologic process that keeps circulating blood in a fluid state and then, when an injury occurs, produces a clot to stop the bleeding, confines the clot to the site of injury, and finally dissolves the clot as the wound heals. When hemostasis systems are out of balance, hemorrhage (bleeding) or thrombosis (pathological clotting) can be life-threatening. Hemostasis involves the interaction of vasoconstriction, platelet adhesion, and aggregation, and coagulation enzyme activation to stop bleeding. Primary hemostasis refers to the role of blood vessels and platelets in response to a vascular injury.
