[Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy: Pathophysiology and Management]. Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther. 2019 Jun;54(6):413-423 Authors: Schlömmer C, Meier J Abstract Persistent, uncontrolled bleeding after trauma is one of the leading causes of fatalities in patients with severe injuries. 40% of trauma deaths are associated with massive haemorrhage. Hypoperfusion due to major loss of blood volume leads to tissue damage. In combination with acidosis and hypothermia, a generalized immune response with activation of coagulation is triggered. This leads to trauma-induced coagulopathy. A suitable, early treatment might lead to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality. PMID: 31212332 [PubMed - in process]
