Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) case study: A 30-year-old male presents with acute trauma. The final diagnosis is Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The blood-clotting disorder known as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is extremely rare yet potentially fatal. Uncontrolled bleeding can occur as a result of this disease in which the blood does not clot properly.
Cancer and septic shock patients are at increased risk for DIC. Pregnant women, new mothers, and those who have recently undergone surgery or been injured can all be at risk.
1. Discuss the clotting mechanism.
2. What do prolonged PT and aPTT tests indicate?
3. Fibrin degradation and split products are common to DIC patients. Why?
4. Identify two additional conditions that can initiate DIC and how?
