Conventional concepts of traumatic coagulopathy as a late occurring condition in response
to iatrogenic haemodilution are redundant. ATC is an endogenous impairment of …

Introduction: Injury is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and as much as 40% of
injury-related mortality is attributed to uncontrollable hemorrhage. This persists despite …

Introduction Fibrinogen may be reduced following traumatic injury due to loss from
haemorrhage, increased consumption and reduced synthesis. In the absence of clinical …

Thromboelastography (TEG) is emerging as the standard in the management of acute
coagulopathies in injured patients. Although TEG is sensitive in detecting abnormalities in …

ABSTRACT The Trauma Hemostasis and Oxygenation Research Network held its third
annual Remote Damage Control Resuscitation Symposium in June 2013 in Bergen …

Introduction Fibrinogen plays a key role in hemostasis and is the first coagulation factor to
reach critical levels in massively bleeding trauma patients. Consequently, rapid estimation of …

Fibrinogen plays an essential role in clot formation and stability. Importantly it seems to be
the most vulnerable coagulation factor, reaching critical levels earlier than the others during …

In trauma, hemostatic functions should be maintained appropriately to prevent massive
bleeding. This study elucidated the time-dependent changes in platelet count and …

The identification and management of coagulopathy is a critical component of caring for the
severely injured patient. Notions of the mechanisms of coagulopathy in trauma patients have …

Objective To review the current literature in reference to the pathophysiology and diagnostic
modalities available for acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) in relationship to traumatic …
