The time taken for blood to coagulate under usual conditions.
Time required for blood to clot, usually determined by observing clot formation in a small sample of blood, used to diagnose some clotting disorders and to monitor anticoagulant drug therapy.
The duration required for blood coagulation is determined through laboratory examinations, wherein a blood sample is observed under controlled conditions. This process assesses the time it takes for the blood to form a clot.
The period required for a blood sample to clot under normal conditions is typically between five to eight minutes.
