IDENTIFYING DIC ( DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION)

Updated 12/25

What is DIC?

DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation)

DIC is a hemorrhagic syndrome. There is an
obvious disturbance in the clotting mechanism
in the blood. Platelets and fibrin have lost their
ability to clot.

 Internal hemorrhage occurs and a serious
continuation of bleeding throughout the body
 begins. The liver is also involved in clotting.

Treatment is directed at correcting the clotting 
factors involved. Blood transfusion may be
necessary. Hemodynamic monitoring  is
necessary. 

DIC is sometimes brought on secondary to other

medical conditions, examples are:trauma, sepsis,
abruptio placenta renal failure and more.
