Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation after Surgery for Facial Injury

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

[Postoperative excessive blood loss after cardiac surgery can be predicted with International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis scoring system].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prediction of postoperative excessive blood loss is useful for management of Intensive Care Unit after cardiac surgery. The aim of present study was to examine the effectiveness of International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis scoring system in patients with cardiac surgery. METHOD After obtaining approval from the institutional review board, the medical records ...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation at an early phase of trauma is associated with consumption coagulopathy and excessive fibrinolysis both by plasmin and neutrophil elastase.

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...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation and head injury.

Blood coagulation tests were performed on admission to the hospital and on consecutive days after severe and moderate head injury in 34 patients. Platelet counts and fibrinogen were normal at admission and raised thereafter. The partial thromboplastin time was shortened at admission and lengthened in the following days. Fibrinolytic activity was enhanced at admission. The ethanol gelation test ...

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)...
