Thanks to my colleague Carlo Ledesma, MS, SH(ASCP)QLS, MT(ASCPi), MT(AMT) for pointing me to an in-depth hemostasis review, Versteeg HH, Heemskerk JWM, Levi M, Reitsma PH. New Fundamentals in Hemostasis. Physiol Rev 2013;93:327–58.

Yesterday, 9-1-20, a colleague contacted George [me] because her physcian had ordered a PT
and PTT
as part of a pre-procedural workup. She asked what the PT/PTT accomplished, and both the physician and nurse practitioner offered no
explanation. After considerable discussion, the PT/PTT order was canceled.

Our November, 2019 Quick Question asked, "What may you substitute for the PT
when LAC
prolongs the PT
