Lab interpretation for DIC - ANSWER-No need to memorize all these normal lab values. They are easy to look up. Just know that an abnormality in a certain direction suggests DIC. Ex. Low platelets = possible DIC. High platelets ≠ DIC. Things that make clots will be low. Clot breakdown products will be high. Coags elevated. Treatment for DIC - ANSWER-The primary focus should be resolution of the precipitating problem. Management goals include adequate perfusion and avoiding bleeding. F...

Mrs. Jing Chow has a TBI, ICP greater than 20 , and hemicraniectomy. She develops multiple lower extremity ecchymosis, hematuria, and bloody sputum during ET suctioning. Which of Mrs. Chow's findings will help confirm a diagnosis of DIC? *ALL except PLT 374,000 and H&H You are caring for Ms. Louise Knapp who is on day four of IV UFH and warfarin for a PE. Platelet count today is 75,000 and was 175,000 on admission. Her 4T score of four is intermediately probable for HIT. At what point s...

Which two lab values must be monitored carefully with multiple blood transfusions? - correct answer Calcium (blood bank blood has low calcium due to anticoagulant used and high potassium due to aged blood and hemolysis The laboratory findings most specifically indicative of DIC as the cause of bleeding are: - correct answer Elevated fibrin degradation products, especially D-Dimer Heparin may be used in the course of DIC because it: - correct answer Neutralizes. Circulating thrombin which p...
