In trauma associated coagulopathy, the initial treatment consists of hypothermia and acidosis have to be treated aggressively. Already in in the emergency room, fibrinogen deficiency can be detected frequently, in addition, colloids interfere with fibrin polymerisation. Under these aspects, the early administration of fibrinogen seems to be justified. Depleted coagulation factors can be substit...

Bleeding is a common problem in major trauma. Coagulopathy could be detected in approximately 25% of all trauma patients on arrival in the emergency room. The reasons for that are blood loss, dilution of the remaining coagulation factors by fluids not containing coagulation factors, consumption of coagulation factors and hyperfibrinolysis. Hypothermia and acidosis are also well described contri...
