Disseminated intravascular coagulation.

چکیده
OBJECTIVES To provide an overview of the pathophysiology, manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) as it occurs in cancer. DATA SOURCES Published articles, research reports, and book chapters. CONCLUSIONS The syndrome of DIC is a serious hypercoagulation state that in its acute form may be life-threatening. The hemorrhage and intravascular coagulation that occur with DIC may lead to irreversible morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition and emergency treatment are necessary to help minimize morbidity and mortality. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Nurses can play an important role in early recognition of DIC to allow for prompt intervention. Nurses caring for patients affected by DIC will be providing complex nursing care, in addition to psychosocial support to patients and families.

Although frequently triggered by underlying disease such as infection or tumor, if not recognized and treated approp...

BACKGROUND The aims of the present study were to confirm the consumption coagulopathy of disseminated intravascular coagulation with the fibrinolytic phenotype at an early phase of trauma and to test the hypothesis that thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, neutrophil elastase, and plasmin contribute to the increased fibrinolysis of this type of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Fu...
