説明

<jats:p>Hemostasis and thrombosis in trauma patients consist of physiological hemostasis for wound healing and the pathological reaction of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Whole body trauma, isolated brain injury, and fat embolism syndrome, if extremely severe, can cause DIC and affect a patient's prognosis. Shock-induced hyperfibrinolysis causes DIC with the fibrinolytic phenotype, contributing to oozing-type severe bleeding. If uncontrolled, this phenotype progresses to thrombotic phenotype at the late stage of trauma, followed by microvascular thrombosis, leading to organ dysfunction. Another type of pathological hemostatic change is acute coagulopathy of trauma shock (ACOTS), which gives rise to activated protein C–mediated systemic hypocoagulation, resulting in bleeding. ACOTS occurs only in trauma associated with shock-induced hypoperfusion and there is nothing to suggest DIC in this phenomenon. This review will provide information about the recent advances in hemostasis and thrombosis in trauma and will clarify the pathogeneses of the pathological processes observed in trauma patients.</jats:p>
