title: Thrombosis and intravascular coagulation.
abstract: Stress, including trauma and sepsis, is associated with a state of hypercoagulability. In these circumstances the patient is at risk of generalized or local thrombotic complications. New laboratory investigative procedures facilitate diagnosis and permit improved assessment of therapy, which at present remains of unproven efficacy both in the general and local situation.
