[Coagulation disorders due to burns. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and its possible prevention].
Coagulation data were studied in 77 patients with severe burns divided into two groups (A, 45 cases, and B, 32 cases). Increased PDF, platelet deficiency, enhanced fibrinogen turnover, and paracoagulation tests showing disseminated intravascular coagulation were frequent in both groups. Platelet deficiency was significantly more frequent in group A (64.9% of cases) than in group B (37.5%). Patients in the latter group received small subcutaneous doses of heparin from the moment of admission.
