AB Key  Clinical  Questions  What  are  the  initial  priorities  for  the  patient  with  severe  or  life-threatening  bleeding?  Is  the  bleeding  medically  remediable  or  does  it  require  structural  intervention  (interventional  radiology  or  surgery)?  Does  the  patient  have  a  coagulopathy  or  a  platelet  disorder  based  on  history  and  examination?  What  explains  an  elevated  international  normalized  ratio  (INR),  an  elevated  partial  thromboplastin  time  (PTT),  and  a  low  platelet  count?  How  should  coagulopathy  be  managed  in  the  bleeding  patient?  If  a  coagulopathy  is  present,  what  should  be  done  to  prepare  a  patient  for  an  invasive  procedure?
