Coagulation, Inflammation, and Responses to Injury

      This paper is only available as a PDF. To read, Please Download here.
      Several mechanisms contributing to the development of post-traumatic alterations in organ function are reviewed. The importance of interactions between clotting and inflammatory mediators is detailed. A discussion of management strategies emphasizes the role of early recognition and aggressive treatment of organ dysfunction.
