anticoagulate
Stop blood thickening
To anticoagulate is to prevent blood from clotting, or to treat blood or a patient with substances that inhibit coagulation.
The term appears mainly in medical contexts: The patient was anticoagulated before surgery.
Anticoagulants like heparin and warfarin are used to prevent strokes, treat deep vein thrombosis, and keep blood flowing through medical devices.
