Abstract
COVID‐19 is associated with significant hypercoagulability. However, despite prophylactic anticoagulation, critically‐ill patients with this condition develop thromboses. This forum discusses the lungs as the epicentre for the haemostatic issues, put forwards a proposal for staging COVID‐19 coagulopathy based on available diagnostic markers, and suggest considering current and future treatment options based on these different stages.
