Abstract

This chapter covers the diagnosis and treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) may be found in patients with a variety of disease states.

DIC is always a consequence of another pathologic process and represents the final common pathway of coagulation dysregulation.
