Thromboelastometry‐guided blood transfusion in septic shock complicated with disseminated intravascular coagulation: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximately 25-50% of septic patients develop disseminated intravascular coagulation. The thromboelastometry evaluates whole blood clot formation and dissolution in real time and has been considered for management of bleeding in diverse clinical conditions. We present a case of thromboelastometry-guided bleeding management of a septic shock patient with overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Septicemia in the young infant, particularly the newborn, has a high mortality despite the use of potent anti-microbial agents. Case reports and studies reporting the successful use of Exchange Transfusion (E. T.) in Septicemia of the newborn prompted us to apply this measure in this patient. 1.2 However we have not found any reports on the use E.T. beyond the neonatal period, in the critically...
