Hyperfibrinolysis elicited via thromboelastography predicts mortality in trauma
BACKGROUND: The acute coagulopathy of trauma has been identified as a critical
determinant of outcomes. Antifibrinolytic agents have recently been demonstrated to
improve outcomes. This prospective study was designed to assess coagulopathy in trauma
patients using thromboelastography. STUDY DESIGN: Trauma patients meeting our
institution's highest tier of trauma team activation criteria were prospectively enrolled during
a 5-month period ending April 1, 2011. Thromboelastography was performed at admission,+ …
