Early Predictive Factors of Hypofibrinogenemia in Acute Trauma Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important phenomenon that occurs after trauma and worsens these patients’ outcome is the lethal complex of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy.[6] It is well-known that the events resulting in acute coagulopathy of trauma begin early after severe injury. This problem is already present in about 25%–30% of trauma cases at the time of their admission to the emergency room (ER).[4,7,8] Acute coagulopathy of trauma is associated with increased amount of bleeding, increased transfusion requirements, and increased mortality rate in this group of patients.[7,9]

Early Predictive Factors of Hypofibrinogenemia in Acute Trauma Patients
Background Uncontrolled hemorrhage still remains a major cause of trauma-associated mortality. The events resulting in acute traumatic coagulopathy, particularly hypofibrinogenemia, make control of bleeding difficult. It is essential to timely predict, diagnose, and manage trauma-induced coagulopathy. Aims The aim of this study is to determine clinical and easily available laboratory variable...

متن کاملEarly Acute Kidney Injury based on Serum Creatinine or Cystatin C in Intensive Care Unit after Major Trauma
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in critically ill patients and is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, serum cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine in early detection of renal function impairment. We compared estimated GFR based on serum cystatin C with estimated GFR based on serum creatinine for early detection of ...
