急性创伤性凝血病发病机制的研究进展

急性创伤性凝血病发病机制的研究进展

急性创伤性凝血病发病机制的研究进展任小强【摘要】急性创伤性凝血病的发病机制十分复杂,涉及凝血系统的多个方面,其主要发病机制尚未完全明确.目前认为急性创伤性凝血病并不是一个简单的消耗性凝血障碍,而是促凝系统、抗凝系统、血小板、纤溶系统及内皮系统动态平衡的紊乱.进一步地改进复苏策略、改善创伤患者预后,需要对急性创伤性凝血病病理生理有更好的理解.【期刊名称】《医学综述》【年(卷),期】2014(020)018【总页数】3页(P3294-3296)【关键词】创伤;凝血障碍;病理生理;蛋白C【作者】任小强【作者单位】苏州大学附属第一医院急诊科,江苏苏州215006【正文语种】中文【中图分类】R554;R363.21急性创伤性凝血病(acute traumatic coagulopathy,ATC)是指严重创伤后出现的凝血功能紊乱,该病发展迅速,在创伤后不久,液体复苏前就已存在凝血异常,是一个内生性的凝血障碍[1-2]。

大出血是创伤死亡的主要原因,伴有凝血障碍的患者其多器官功能障碍发生率高,在重症加强护理病房或住院时间长,与正常者相比,死亡率将增加4倍[5]。

虽然损伤控制复苏策略的运用,但大出血仍然是患者创伤后24 h内死亡的主要机制。

有效地控制出血,恢复循环的稳定成为早期治疗创伤的关键。

目前对ATC发病机制的认识仍然不清楚,将对有效复苏策略的选择产生影响。

多种假设已经去解释如何以及为什么会出现止血的损坏,然而现在的证据不足。

现对ATC的病理生理学的理解做如下综述。

创伤性凝血病被认为是一个多种因素共同作用的结果。

严重的组织损伤和系统的灌注不足是ATC发展的先决条件。

Frith等[3]的一项大样本回顾性队列研究发现,并不是单一的因素与ATC有关,组织损伤和休克的程度共同引起临床相关的凝血病。

另一项对接受大量血液输注的战伤患者的回顾性研究发现,爆炸伤组与枪伤组相比,虽然有相同的格拉斯哥昏迷评分、创伤严重度评分、年龄、血红蛋白、死亡率,但爆炸组入院时国际标准化比率显著升高,有更高的碱缺失,有较大的凝血障碍发生率,对比碱缺失<-6 mmol/L的患者,爆炸组仍有较大的国际标准化比率[4]。

颅脑损伤的致残率和病死率较高,而伤后迟发性颅内出血是影响患者病情及预后的重要因素之一。

研究发现,凝血功能紊乱是颅脑损伤后常见并发症,发生率高达3%~64%[1-2],它能激活凝血系统使血液处于高凝状态,并继发纤溶亢进,甚至导致弥漫性血管内凝血(DIC )[3-4]。

但目前临床上关于颅脑损伤(TBI )患者早期凝血纤溶功能变化与迟发性颅内出血的研究相对较少,本文回归性分析河北大学附属医院神经外科收治的142例TBI 患者的凝血纤溶指标,旨在探讨其与颅脑损伤程度及迟发性颅内出血的关系,现报道如下:1资料与方法1.1一般资料选择河北大学附属医院神经外科2011年1月~2012年6月收治的颅脑损伤患者142例。

入组标准:①已经初步排除血液、肝脏系统疾患和功能障碍,且均经CT 或MRI 证实颅脑损伤;②近期无服用抗凝药物史。

其中男98例,女44例;年龄29~71岁,平均(41.3±10.6)岁。

受伤到入院时间1~10h ,平均(4.2±1.5)h 。

致伤原因:车祸伤67例,坠落伤35例,钝器伤25例,其他15例。

1.2分组入院时按格拉斯哥(GCS )评分标准分为轻型组(13~15分)47例,中型组(9~12分)39例,重型组(3~8分)56例。

同时选择同期本院进行体检的健康体检者50例作为对照组,其中男26例,女24例。

治疗1个月后按是否出现迟发性颅内出血将患者分为无迟发性颅内出血组(93例)和迟发性颅内出血组(49例)。

血液科病人颅内出血急救流程

血液科病人颅内出血急救流程

血液科病人颅内出血急救流程英文回答:When it comes to the emergency management of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in hematology, prompt action is crucial. As a hematologist, I have encountered numerous cases of patients with ICH, and I follow a specific protocol to ensure the best possible outcome for my patients.First and foremost, upon receiving a patient with suspected ICH, I quickly assess their vital signs and level of consciousness. It is essential to stabilize the patient and ensure their airway, breathing, and circulation are intact. In severe cases, I may need to intubate the patient to secure their airway and provide adequate oxygenation.Next, I order a stat computed tomography (CT) scan of the head to confirm the diagnosis and determine thelocation and extent of the hemorrhage. This information iscrucial in guiding further management decisions. If the CT scan reveals a significant bleed, I consult with a neurosurgeon immediately to discuss the possibility of surgical intervention.While waiting for the neurosurgeon's evaluation, I initiate medical management to control the bleeding and prevent further complications. This typically involves administering medications to manage blood pressure and reduce intracranial pressure. For example, I may prescribe intravenous antihypertensive drugs such as labetalol or nicardipine to lower blood pressure and minimize the risk of rebleeding.In some cases, the patient may require transfusion of blood products to correct any coagulation abnormalities. For instance, if the patient has a low platelet count, I may administer platelet transfusions to improve clotting function.Throughout the management process, I closely monitor the patient's neurological status, including their level ofconsciousness, pupillary response, and motor function. Any deterioration in neurological status prompts immediate intervention, such as repeating the CT scan or adjusting medication dosages.Once the neurosurgeon evaluates the patient, they may recommend surgical intervention, such as evacuation of the hematoma or placement of a ventricular drain to relieve intracranial pressure. In such cases, I collaborate closely with the neurosurgeon to ensure optimal coordination of care.After the acute phase of ICH management, I focus on the patient's recovery and rehabilitation. This may involve physical and occupational therapy to regain motor function and improve activities of daily living. Additionally, I provide counseling and support to the patient and their family, as I understand the emotional impact such a traumatic event can have on them.中文回答:对于血液科的颅内出血(ICH)的急救管理,迅速行动至关重要。

Methods.We performed a MEDLINE search from 1966to April2007with various MESH headings,focus-ing on head trauma and coagulopathy.We identified441 eligible English language studies.These were reviewed for relevance by two independent investigators.A meta-analysis was performed to calculate the frequencies of coagulopathy after TBI and to determine the association of coagulopathy and outcome,expressed as odds ratios. Results.Eighty-two studies were relevant for the pur-pose of this review.Meta-analysis of34studies report-ing the frequencies of coagulopathy after TBI,showed an overall prevalence of32.7%.The presence of coagu-lopathy after TBI was related both to mortality(OR9.0; 95%CI:7.3–11.6)and unfavourable outcome(OR36.3; 95%CI:18.7–70.5).Conclusions.We conclude that coagulopathy follow-ing traumatic brain injury is an important independent risk factor related to prognosis.Routine determination of the coagulation status should therefore be performed in all patients with traumatic brain injury.These data may have important implications in patient management. Well-performed prospective clinical trials should be un-dertaken as a priority to determine the beneficial effects of early treatment of coagulopathy.Keywords:DIC;coagulopathy;meta-analysis;progno-sis;review;treatment;traumatic brain injury;head trauma. IntroductionDisturbances of the haemostatic mechanism are highly relevant in traumatic brain injury(TBI).Micro-hae-morrhages occur frequently in the brain parenchyma and a normal coagulation status is important to prevent progression of these to larger haematomas.Haemo-rrhage is a major cause of in-hospital mortality in patients with TBI[83].Coagulation abnormalities are not only a result from injury,but may also cause further secondary injury.Coagulation disorders in TBI are complex and can be characterised by a combination of coagulopathy and hypercoagulability.Hypercoagulability is the in-creased capacity of formation offibrin in the blood ves-sels.A hypercoagulable state may be generalised in the case of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)or local with the development of microthrombi in the pen-All authors were involved in writing the review. Correspondence:B.Sanjay Harhangi,M.D.,Ph.D.,Department of Neurosurgery,Erasmus MC,P.O.Box2040,3000CA Rotterdam,The Netherlands.E-mail:b.s.harhangi@erasmusmc.nlumbra of a contusion.DIC is characterised by the wide-spread activation of coagulation,which results in the intravascular formation offibrin and ultimately throm-botic occlusion of small and midsize vessels[56,57,65]. In this review coagulopathy is defined as any coagula-tion abnormality in TBI as defined by the different cri-teria of the various studies.Coagulopathy may result from depletion of platelets and clotting factors following blood loss or consumption due to DIC,and may further be enhanced by dilution,acidosis and hypothermia[6]. The resulting disorders of the coagulation status may invoke both bleeding and ischaemia.Many studies have shown progression of parenchymal lesions,particularly in patients with coagulopathy[21,90,92–94,97].More-over,the presence of coagulation abnormalities is related to poorer outcome[66,69,87].Disorders of coagulation may be amenable to treatment,and adequate and prompt intervention may prevent secondary complications and poorer outcome[61].The aim of this review is to sum-marise the current literature on pathophysiology,inci-dence,nature,prognosis and treatment of coagulation disorders following TBI.Pathogenesis of coagulation disorders in TBIIn healthy individuals,coagulation andfibrinolysis are balanced to prevent excessive haemorrhage or thrombo-sis[15,56,71,79].Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)are at risk of developing abnormalities of both coagulation andfibrinolysis[43,76,85,101,105]. The nature of the coagulation abnormalities differs be-tween patients with isolated head injury and patients with multiple injuries.There is evidence that the extent of traumatised brain tissue,rather than traumatic shock or hypoxia,plays an important role in the occurrence of coagulation disorders after TBI[85].In the early seven-ties,the release of tissue factor(TF),formerly called thromboplastin or thrombokinase[11],from injured brain tissue was postulated as the cause[49].Tissue factor is a protein present in subendothelial tissue,plate-lets,and leukocytes necessary for the initiation of the coagulation cascade that eventually leads to thrombin formation from the zymogen prothrombin.TF is the main physiological initiator of coagulation[35]and its release therefore can also activate the coagulation system excessively in patients with head trauma.It is suggested that this activation depends on the amount of TF released from damage to brain tissue[7,39,49, 73].Recently,Gando and co-workers[33]demonstrated higher levels of TF in head injured patients than in non-head-injured trauma patients.However,this concerns plasma levels of soluble tissue factor antigen and it is yet unclear what these levels mean and its function is totally unknown.In addition,Pathak and co-workers [73]demonstrated increased TF activity in patients with TBI as compared to controls,highlighting the role of TF in coagulation disorders following TBI.Early exposure of TF to both factor VII and VIIa results in the FVIIa= TF complex.This complex forms and generates small amounts of factor Xa and factor IXa.Factor Xa in col-laboration with the membrane surface activates a small amount of prothrombin to thrombin.The generation of trace amounts of thrombin will activate platelets and factors V and VIII,that will thereby provide a suitable surface on which the prothrombinase complex can be assembled and which will lead to much more thrombin generation,required for the conversion offibrinogen to fibrin[55,58].This tissue factor-dependent activation of coagulation,formerly known as the extrinsic pathway, causes both micro-and macrovascularfibrin thrombiFig.1.Schematic diagram of traumaticbrain injury and coagulopathy166 B.S.Harhangi et al.formation.Control mechanisms,including tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI),the protein C system,anti-thrombin and glycosamineglycans are active to counter fibrin formation and to localise fibrin formation to the site of injury,but are frequently insufficient after exten-sive TF exposure.DIC,instigated by TF activation,inhi-bits these antithrombotic mechanisms through cytokine release and upregulation causing defective physiological anticoagulation pathways.This may cause necrosis and haemorrhage in many organs,eventually leading to multi organ failure (MOF)[45,56,57,63,79,104].Current concepts of haemostasis and DIC,far beyond the scope of this review,were recently reviewed [56,58,79].A schematic diagram of the proposed mechanism of coagu-lation disorders following TBI is shown in Fig.1.Various studies have confirmed a correlation be-tween the presence of coagulation abnormalities and poorer outcome [66,69,87].The association between clotting abnormalities and delayed intracerebral haemor-rhage has become well established [21,90,92–94,97].Adequate control of haemorrhage remains an important aim in the management of TBI.Considerable contro-versies,on the diagnosis and treatment of coagulopathy after TBI still exist and it remains uncertain whether initiation of specific treatment in the early hypercoagu-lable phase may indeed prevent progression of lesions and improve outcome.Material and methodsWe performed a Pubmed search from 1966to April 2007.First of all,we defined appropriate keywords and subject headings.We combined different keywords and noted the number of studies observed with and without restric-tion to the English language (Table 1).Since the largest number of studies was observed when combining head trauma and coagulopathy (n ¼429,Table 1)we used these terms to identify relevant studies.To identify ad-ditional eligible studies,the other keyword combinations and the reference list of the selected studies were screened and 12additional studies were identified.Even-tually,this search strategy yielded 441hits eligible for this study.Two separate reviewers determined the rele-vance of all titles =abstracts and excluded non-relevant studies.We excluded among others,studies on pharma-cologic coagulopathy,chronic subdural haematoma,pre-existing coagulation disorders such as haemophilia and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura,spinal trauma and studies on ‘‘non-traumatic’’disorders.This selection resulted in retaining 90studies.Following a more de-tailed review we excluded an additional 8studies since coagulopathy was not studied.In total,this review was therefore based on 82studies.When available,frequen-cies of coagulopathy as defined and presented by the authors in relation to outcome were extracted from the studies to create two by two tables.These numbers were used to calculate crude odds ratios with 95%confidence intervals (95%CI).In the second stage,a summary (pooled)estimate is calculated as a weighted average of the effects estimated in the individual studies by using the Mantel Haenszel (MH)method,a widely recognised fixed effect method of meta-analysis.ResultsNone of the studies met the criteria for Class I evidence.Many studies had been performed retrospectively and some were limited to case reports.Twenty-six publica-Table 1.Pubmed search results KeywordsAll English HITS –review of titles =abstracts =references Cranio-cerebral trauma coagulopathy590414Exclusion of non-relevant

as defined in the different stud-ies,and mortality or Glasgow Outcome Scale(GOS) 1–3(bad outcome),versus GOS4–5(good out-come).Data for the association between coagulopathy after TBI and the risk of mortality are presented in Table3A.Odds ratios in the studies vary between4.2 and161.Data for the association between coagulopathy after TBI and the risk of bad outcome are presented in Table3B.In these studies odds ratios vary between16 and58.All presented point estimates were statistically significant,although important modifiers(such as age and GCS)were not considered.When the crude data are pooled wefind an overall odds ratio for the risk of bad outcome(GOS1–3)of33.2(95%CI:15.9–69.1) and the risk of mortality of9.4(95%CI:7.6–11.6)Table2.Epidemiological classification of the studiesStudy

disordersThe incidence of coagulopathy in TBI is high,but actual numbers vary considerably between studies.The wide variation in frequency is not striking because different study designs and definitions for coagulopathy have been used.The definitions of coagulopathy have been changed over time,and in addition,other techniques for measuring DIC have become available in the last de-cade.Recently the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)simplified the laboratory diag-nosis of DIC by calculating a DIC score based on platelet count,elevated fibrin-related marker,prolonged prothrombin time and fibrinogen level [98].However,none of the studies included in our review have used this score,but instead were mainly based on other para-meters,including fibrinogen,fibrinogen degradation prod-ucts and antithrombin levels.Overall,in this review,one out of three patients with TBI have signs of coagulopa-thy (Table 3)and according to the literature it occurs in more than 60%of patients with severe TBI [8,24,42].In mild TBI coagulopathy is probably less than one percent [37].Kuo and colleagues [52]reported an inci-dence of coagulopathy in 100%of patients dying from head injury whereas Chiaretti and colleagues [22]pre-sented a frequency of 10%in patients with TBI.Studies from the late 1970’s already reported a decrease of platelets and fibrinogen during the first five days after injury,indicating consumptive coagulopathy [8,9],but could not confirm the presence of ter studies,utilising more sensitive laboratory techniques for detect-ing a hypercoagulable state,reported an increased fre-quency of DIC following head injury up to 76%[51,63,69,77,104].According to some authors 15–40%of patients with severe TBI meet the criteria for symp-Table 3B.Crude odds ratios for the risk of bad outcome according to GOS after TBI and coagulopathy StudyNo.of patients Coagulopathy GOS1-3No coagulopathy 3GOS1-3Coagulopathy GOS >3No

DIC[18,41,63,94],however as indicated above different criteria for DIC were used.DIC seems to occur most frequently in patients with acute subdural haematoma,or parenchymal contusions[51].Haemo-static activation may be more prominent in cerebrovas-cular blood than in peripheral blood[67].The presence of local cerebral intravascular coagulation has been con-firmed in surgical specimens of human cerebral contu-sions,and cerebral contusions of rats and pigs[90].Severity of TBI and coagulopathy Hypercoagulability after injury is most prevalent during thefirst24h and more pronounced in women[86]. Children with a glasgow coma score(GCS)<14after TBI are at greater risk for coagulopathy and this risk is even more increased at lower GCS levels[50].Several studies have demonstrated thatfibrin degradation prod-uct(FDP)levels correlate positively with the degree of brain damage[46,51,69,102].Stein and colleagues [92]found that almost50%of patients with TBI devel-oped delayed brain injury,as defined by the occurrence of new intracranial lesions or progression of lesions ini-tially present on admission.In that study,abnormalities in the prothrombin time,partial thromboplastin time,or platelet count at admission were present in55%of pa-tients with evidence of delayed injury,versus only9%of patients without delayed injury.In particular,mean pro-thrombin time and partial thromboplastin time at admis-sion were significantly longer in patients developing delayed injury.More recently,Yokota and colleagues [116],found that V on Willebrand factor(vWF)and thrombomodulin(TM)are useful indicators of cerebral endothelial injury and that increased TM levels predict delayed brain injury.PrognosisThe presence of coagulopathy is not only related to the risk for developing delayed injury,but also to a poorer outcome.Continued bleeding is one factor,but not the only one responsible for a poorer outcome.As men-tioned above,DIC,which involves,by definition,‘‘in-travascular coagulation’’,causes multiple organ failure by thromboembolic ischaemia and may also be respon-sible for a bad outcome.Similarly,the DIC after TBI causes intravascular coagulation-induced cerebral is-chaemia and may be related to a bad prognosis.It is striking that the risk of mortality in patients with coa-gulopathy after TBI is approximately ten times higher than in these patients without coagulopathy(Table3A). The risk of bad outcome in patients with coagulopathy after TBI is even more than thirty times higher than in these patients without coagulopathy(Table3B).We are aware that bias plays an important role in these studies and the various prevalences cannot be compared due to different criteria of coagulopathy in each of the studies. Moreover,the parameters of coagulopathy in these stud-ies differ and this variation will lead to clinical hetero-geneity.This is an important limitation of our study. However,these results are consistent with thefindings of two similar studies[69,87]in which logistic regres-sion models with adjustment of different parameters were used to calculate the probability of a bad outcome after TBI and coagulopathy.Various large clinical stud-ies have demonstrated that DIC is an important predictor of poor outcome in head injury[46,63,94].This rela-tionship was absent in only one of the presented studies [67].Kushimoto and colleagues[53]studied the clinical significance offibrinolysis andfibrinogenolysis in patients with closed head injury and found that indices offibrinolytic activity likefibrinogen degradation pro-ducts(FDP),andfibrin degradation products(FbDP) were correlated to outcome.A limitation of this study is that they did not adjust for confounders such as gen-der,age or extent of brain tissue damage.The interpre-tation of different studies on the predictive value of coagulation parameters and outcome is complex due to differences in study design,population and definitions of DIC.Some studies have a relatively small sample size and short follow up periods whereas others only present cross-sectional data.Some authors claim that laboratory values for coagulation status may be a better predictor of mortality than midline shift or pupillary reactivity[52], but only few have investigated the predictive value of coagulopathy adjusted for other predictors.Olson and colleagues[69]and Selladurai and colleagues[87]stud-ied the predictive value of coagulopathy in TBI with logistic regression models.Both studies found that high FDP levels predict poor outcome independently of other variables and that prognosis worsens as the level of FDP increases.In patients with mild head injury,this high FDP level may lead to a rapid deterioration and eventu-ally to death.In patients with an intermediate level of severity of brain injury,the activated partial thrombo-plastin time(APTT)appeared to be of greater prognostic value.Increased plasma concentrations of FDP and plas-min-alpha2-plasmin inhibitor complex and decreasedfi-brinogen levels are associated with a high percentage of unfavourable outcome three months after injury.Similar170 B.S.Harhangi et al.results have also been reported in children[106].Very recently,results from the IMPACT(International Mission for Prognosis And Clinical Trial)study showed that the prothrombin time is a powerful independent prognostic factor after TBI[66].TreatmentGuidelines for the treatment of coagulopathy following TBI do not exist.No randomized studies have been performed to study any intervention such as infusion of fresh frozen plasma(FFP),antithrombotic drugs or antithrombotic coagulation factor concentrates after TBI. Therefore opinions on preferred approaches vary.These differences reflect the complexity of the problem and the strong heterogeneity in type,degree and phase of coag-ulation disturbances.In general,the therapy of coagula-tion disturbances should be aimed at treating the primary cause.Stein and colleagues[91]recently argued that the objectives of treatment should be to combat coagulation, to lyse existing clots,to replete clotting factors and re-verse hyperfibrinolysis.Fresh frozen plasma and platelet concentrates are recommended for patients with active bleeding.May and colleagues[60]have advocated the use of FFP as resuscitationfluid in patients with a GCS 7.However,Winter and co-workers[113]did notfind any benefit on outcome with the use of FFP.Keller and colleagues[50]propose administration of FFP to all children presenting the GCS<8in an attempt to combat coagulation disorders and prevent progression of lesions. According to Rubin and Colman[82]heparin anticoa-gulation followed by aggressive replacement with plate-lets and FFP is indicated as a treatment of patients with DIC in general.This treatment might be extrapolated to DIC in TBI.However,administration of these products may carry a risk of enhancing coagulation by adding procoagulant factors.Rubin and Colman[82]proposed administration of heparin in therapeutic doses,sufficient to overcome the coagulant forces that may have prod-uced a relative heparin-resistant state in the blood. Most clinicians treating TBI however will be extremely reluctant to administer heparin for fear of increasing intracranial haemorrhage and in view of the lack of clin-ical evidence we consider this approach,although theo-retically sound,debatable[27].DIC also occurs frequently in sepsis where activated protein C,a potent anticoagulant and profibrinolytic agent,has shown to improve coagulation disturbances and improve outcome in septic patients,who developed multiple organ failure[32].Nevertheless,an increased risk of bleeding has been observed with the administra-tion of protein C to patients with sepsis[16,32]and in children it may even cause serious bleeding events[36]. To date,no such studies have been performed in patients with TBI.Various other approaches have been explored to correct coagulopathy in TBI.The early administration of antithrombin III(AT III)to patients with TBI could inhibit or significantly shorten the time of coagulopathy. Grenander and colleagues[40]described a marginal re-duction of hypercoagulation parameters following ad-ministration of AT III but could not confirm a benefit on progression of lesions,on outcome or on length of ICU stay.Antifibrinolytic agents like aprotinin,tranexa-mic acid and[epsilon]-aminocaproic acid are commonly used in cardiac surgery.The role of antifibrinolytic agents in trauma patients with massive blood loss is yet not clear.The CRASH-2(Clinical Randomisation of Antifibrinolytic in Significant Haemorrhage)trial is a World Health Organization(WHO)supported large international multi-centre randomised placebo con-trolled trial of the effects of the antifibrinolytic agent tranexamic acid on death and transfusion requirements in adult trauma patients with significant haemorrhage.In this large study,recruitment is expected to be completed in December2009and will provide us more insight in the use of antifibrinolytic agents in trauma patients[80]. To our knowledge,no randomised data are available on the administration of antifibrinolytics after traumatic brain injury.Preliminary data indicate that recombinant factor VIIa(rFVIIa)provides a rapid and successful correction of coagulopathy in the head-injured patient which may suggest an alternative strategy for treating coagulopathy in TBI[64].Interestingly,treatment with rFVIIa within four hours after the onset of intracerebral haemorrhage limits the growth of the haematoma,re-duces mortality,and improves functional outcomes at 90days[61].Very recently,however,a completed phase 3,randomised,controlled trial involving821patient presented on the16th European Stroke Conference Glasgow,United Kingdom2007,showed that there was a significant reduction in the size of the intracere-bral haematoma but no effect on mortality and severe disability on day90(unpublished data).Since TBI is commonly associated with cerebral contusions and hae-morrhage[2]these results may be extrapolated to TBI as was reported recently[112].However,rFVIIa should be administered with caution due to the increased risk of thromboembolic complications[61].To date there is only one published randomised placebo-controlled trial of the use of rFVIIa in trauma[17].The authors showedCoagulation disorders after traumatic brain injury171。
