Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH·2016

Trauma significantly disrupts normal blood clotting, leading to high rates of hemorrhage and deep vein thrombosis in polytraumatized patients. Effective management requires prompt shock treatment and balancing bleeding vs. clotting risks.

Area of Science:

Trauma and Hemostasis
Coagulopathy in Critical Illness
Thromboembolic Complications in Polytrauma

Background:

Polytrauma patients exhibit significant hemostatic defects, manifesting as hemorrhage and/or thrombosis.
Clinicians must consider recent advancements in understanding, risk assessment, and prevention of these complications.

Framework:

Expert symposium reviewed recent developments in trauma-associated hemostatic complications.
Focus on integrating current knowledge for clinical practice.

Implementation:

Trauma and shock severely compromise hemostatic balance.
Coagulopathy is multifactorial, with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) frequently observed.
High incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) despite preventive measures.

Implications:

Rapid and effective shock treatment is crucial for managing hemostatic disorders.
Preventing thromboembolic complications is paramount.
Balancing hemorrhage and thrombosis risks is essential for optimal patient outcomes.
