Fibrinogen in Trauma
Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological processes associated with traumatic haemorrhage and trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) have resulted in improved outcomes for seriously injured trauma patients. However, a significant number of trauma patients still die from haemorrhage. This article reviews the role of fibrinogen in normal haemostasis, the effect of trauma and TIC on fibrinogen levels and current evidence for fibrinogen replacement in the management of traumatic haemorrhage.
A good review of the role of fibrinogen in normal haemostasis, the effect of trauma and TIC on fibrinogen levels and current evidence for fibrinogen replacement in the management of
traumatic haemorrhage.
