Pathophysiology of Trauma Induced Coagulopathy

Protein C Activation Blocks thrombin formation, enhances fibrinolysis, Antiinflammatory
Glycocalyx Disruption Autoheparinization, enhanced fibrinolysis
Platelet Exhaustion Decreased thrombin generation, decreased clot strength, reduced cellular signaling
Fibrinogen Depletion Decreased clot strength, decreased speed of clot formation
