The Mechanism of the Emergence of Defibrillation Syndrome: Methods of Immediate Diagnosis and Treatment

Different mechanisms leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are briefly dis­cussed and the hemorrhagic diathesis which is brought about by this consumption coagulopa­thy is visualized.  Since there is an emergency need for correct management of the disorder. The problem is simplified in order, any physician, to be able to understand the syndrome and to be catious in treating t...
