I found this lecture very interesting. As a medical imaging nurse I assess patients 'bleeding studies' prior to procedures and this lecture clarified some points that I was previously a little confused about. The lecture was informative and on a level that I could understand.

Excellent lecture and well presented. I loved the learning tips and mathematical associations to help remember the order of the clotting factors in the clotting cascade pathways - genius! Engaging lecturer who is great at simplifying what is a complex cascade - well done!

Short video covering the clotting cascade. Broke it down into simple terminology. Gave ways to remember it. Primarily discussed the Intrinsic, Extrinsic and Common pathways and how it functions to form a clot. Briefly covered Anticoagulants and how they work.

Very interesting way of trying to untangle the complexity of the Clotting Cascade. Explained the different stages, factors & significance of deficiencies in cascade factors.
