Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can induce coagulopathy at the base of sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), which is an important cause of death in these patients. Cytokine storm causes imbalance in coagulation and fibrinolytic system. A combination of hypercoagulability state, decrease or inhibition of fibrinolysis and endotheliopathy causes thromboembolic events. Underlying diseases such as diab...

In severe trauma patients, coagulopathy is frequently observed in the acute phase of trauma. Trauma-induced coagulopathy is coagulopathy caused by the trauma itself. The pathophysiology of trauma-induced coagulopathy consists of coagulation activation, hyperfibrino(geno)lysis, and consumption coagulopathy. These pathophysiological mechanisms are the characteristics to DIC with the fibrinolytic ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Coagulopathy is a common complication of snakebite, but there is little information on the clinical importance of coagulopathy. We analyzed the characteristics of coagulopathy after envenomation. METHODS Ninety-eight patients who experienced snakebite were enrolled in this study. We divided all the patients into three groups by the ISTH DIC scoring system: the normal, simple c...

BACKGROUND Coagulopathy in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with poor neurological outcomes and higher in-hospital mortality. In general principle of trauma management, hypothermia should be prevented as it directly worsens coagulopathy. Therefore, we examined the safety of mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) in patients with coagulopathy following severe TBI. METHODS We re-eva...

Abstract Purpose of Review Coagulopathy is a complex pathological condition manifested through the insufficient or excessive tendency to form blood thrombi, which can be caused by trauma and surgery. A promising strategy mitigate coagulopathy balanced restoration generation thrombin — main enzyme in blood-coagulation system. We review studies focusing on thrombin, traumatic coagulopathy, hemost...

Nearly one-fourth of all trauma admissions present in varying degrees of coagulopathy. According to a US study, 40% of trauma fatalities are due to hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock, and nearly all patients who are alive when they reach the hospital are coagulopathic when they die. Once coagulopathy develops, patient morbidity drastically increases. Because of the clinical significance of trauma...

this study was done to determine whether high or low dose of anti-snake venom (asv) is better in coagulopathy in victims of envenoming by vipers. this retrospective study was conducted on the 154 patients (mean age ± sd, range) of viper snake bites who were referred to the emergency ward of razi hospital, ahvaz, iran over 2 years period (2004 - 2006). according to the treatment dosage the patie...

This prospective multicenter study investigated the association of the course of coagulation abnormalities with initial computed tomography (CT) characteristics and outcome in patients with isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI). Patient demographics, coagulation parameters, CT characteristics, and outcome data of moderate and severe TBI patients without major extracranial injuries were prospect...
