PAER TITLE : EVIDENCE OF POSTTRAUMATIC COAGULOPATHY IN CASE OF THE                                                             SEVERE COMBINED THORACIC TRAUMA

AUTHOR'S NAME : Myroslav Stupnytskyi and Victor Zhukov

ABSTRACT

Early coagulopathy associated with trauma – result of exaggerate activity during the initiation phase ofcoagulation. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of the coagulopathy markers for metabolic monitoring of the severe combined thoracic trauma and it’s possibly to help in outcome prediction. This retrospective study was performed on 73 male polytrauma patients from 20 to 68 years old. The prothrombin time, fibrinogen concentration and β-Naphthol test were estimated on 1-2-d, 3-4-th and 5-6-th days after trauma. The results suggest that hypocoagulation occurs early in equal extent for survivals and non-survivals. Coagulation abnormalities are the result of vital functions disturbances rather than direct tissue injury. Disseminated intravascular coagulation with a fibrinolytic phenotype is the predominant and initiative pathogenesis of trauma-related coagulopathy with maximal expression on 5-6- th day. Appearance of positive β-Naphthol test on 5-6-th day increases probable mortality from 18.47 –19.37% to 26.91 – 28.08%.
