Abstract
Invasive procedures performed by anaesthetists and singeons should only be carried out if the haemostatic function of the patient is such that the chance of haemorrhagic complications is minimal. This chapter attempts to provide some guidelines as to what constitutes minimally acceptable haemostatic parameters prior to surgery and invasive anaesthetic procedures.
