Early activation of humoral proteolytic systems in patients with multiple trauma

Critical Care Medicine
B RisbergA C Teger-Nilsson

Abstract

Coagulation, fibrinolytic, kallikrein, and complement systems were studied in 20 patients with multiple trauma. Three of four patients with a trauma score less than 10 on hospital arrival died, compared to one of 16 with a score over 10. Five patients developed disseminated intravascular coagulation. Signs of activated cascade systems were evident in most patients on hospital arrival. Changes were not related to trauma score, but patients with an arterial pressure below 110 mm Hg had significantly lower levels of antithrombin III and alpha 2-antiplasmin than those with higher BP. This study confirms that the cascade systems are activated very soon after multiple trauma.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
