Disseminated intravascular coagulation
(Con impuestos)
Disseminated Intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an uncommon but complex disease process with a high mortality. Paramount to success is early detection and invention. The clinician can increase their chance of successfully managing the patient with DIC by both implementing current standards in therapy but more importantly, preventing the disease from occurring by understanding the diseases that predispose the patient to developing DIC. In this lecture we will cover pathophysiology of DIC, predisposing conditions and current standards in human and veterinary care. We will also review whole body system coagulation and it’s relevance to this disease process.
