Hypercoagulability after trauma: Hemostatic changes and relationship to venous thromboembolism
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Major trauma induces a hypercoagulable state, which is frequently complicated by pathological thrombosis. However the sequential changes in coagulation markers and their relationship to clinical thrombosis have been poorly characterized.
METHODS: We measured several markers of in vivo coagulation and fibrinolysis and their regulation serially for 2 weeks after multi-system trauma in a prospective cohort of patients who received no …
