Coagulation

Coagulation

Colloidal solids are solid particles suspended in solution. They are usually negatively charged, attracting a compact primary layer of positively charged ions, which attract more counterions to form an electrical double layer. Electrostatic repulsion between the charged double layers prevents the particles from colliding, stabilizing the colloids. These solids are often undesirable because they can contain toxins that are difficult to remove. Coagulation is a technique that helps aggregate and...

Coagulation

Coagulation

The coagulation phase is a critical part of the body's process to prevent blood loss following injury to blood vessels. It involves chemical reactions that form a clot to seal the injured area. The clotting process begins shortly after injury, within 15-20 seconds for severe damage and 1-2 minutes for minor injuries.
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...

Area of Science:

Neonatal pathophysiology
Hematology
Pediatric critical care

Background:

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe secondary condition affecting the clotting cascade.
DIC causes microclots, consuming clotting factors and leading to bleeding.
Neonates possess altered hemostasis (developmental coagulopathy), increasing DIC risk when other systems are compromised.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the pathophysiology of DIC in neonates.
To review the etiologies, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of DIC in this population.
To identify current research gaps in neonatal DIC.

Main Methods:

Literature review of DIC in neonates.
Analysis of pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
Identification of areas needing further research.

Main Results:

DIC in neonates is a complex condition linked to underlying diseases.
Developmental coagulopathy predisposes neonates to DIC.
Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for improved outcomes.

Conclusions:

Understanding DIC nuances is vital for advanced practitioners.
Further research is needed to address knowledge gaps in neonatal DIC.
Improved management strategies can enhance prognosis for affected neonates.
