Current consideration and management of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

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...

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

Diagnosis and treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation: a case report.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a pathologic syndrome with different medical disorders. Diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome is one of the difficult managements in medical science. Thromboelastogram is the only guide for early diagnosis and precise management of this syndrome. We describe a patient who developed disseminated intravascular coagulation due to endocarditis and spleen...

Thromboelastometry‐guided blood transfusion in septic shock complicated with disseminated intravascular coagulation: a case report

Approximately 25-50% of septic patients develop disseminated intravascular coagulation. The thromboelastometry evaluates whole blood clot formation and dissolution in real time and has been considered for management of bleeding in diverse clinical conditions. We present a case of thromboelastometry-guided bleeding management of a septic shock patient with overt disseminated intravascular coagul...

DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION: AN UPDATE FOR THE CLINICIAN Page 1 DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION: AN UPDATE FOR THE CLINICIAN

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a syndrome characterized by the systemic activation of coagulation, leading to widespread microvascular thrombosis which compromises organ perfusion and can contribute to organ failure. The ongoing activation of coagulation may exhaust platelet and coagulation factors, resulting in a hypocoagulable state and bleeding, particularly in patients at r...
