Disseminated intravascular coagulation and head injury.

Lack of correlation between delayed traumatic intracerebral haematoma and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

The relationship between delayed traumatic intracerebral haematoma and disseminated intravascular coagulation was investigated. Eighteen patients with delayed traumatic intracerebral haematoma were selected as the study subjects from 268 consecutive patients with head trauma and compared with another two groups of patients with closed head injury (20 cases) and with multiple injuries (24 cases)...

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in a Case of Brucellosis Misdiagnosed as Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation after Surgery for Facial Injury

A case of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) presenting after surgery for facial trauma associated with multiple facial bone fractures is described. With regard to the oral and maxillofacial region, DIC has been described in the literature following head trauma, infection, and metastatic disease. Until now, only 5 reports have described DIC after surgery for facial injury. DIC seconda...

Plasma Fibrinogen and D-dimer in Children With Sepsis: A Single-center Experience

Background & Objectives:  In sepsis, enhanced fibrin formation, impaired fibrin degradation, and intravascular fibrin deposition lead to a prothrombotic state. The current study aimed at measuring various coagulation parameters to predict an early marker for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods: The current prospective s...

Microvascular thrombosis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

This paper will review the involvement of disseminated intravascular coagulation-induced microvascular thrombosis in the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and the interaction between disseminated intravascular coagulation and systemic inflammatory response syndrome in critically ill patients. The published literature on clinical and experimental studies are the data sources of...
