Summary:Trauma is still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the contemporary community, particularly in population younger than 40 years of age. Recent studies have offered new knowledge on the central role of coagulopathy in traumatized people. Massive hemorrhage is a cause of death in severely traumatized people in 40% of cases, and the control of bleeding is a special challenge in the developed and verified coagulopathy. After severe trauma, massive hemorrhage is very often the consequence of associated surgical and coagulopathic bleeding. Massive blood loss diminishes the capacity of coagulation system, resulting in coagulopathy even in patients whose hemostasis before the injury has been within physiological limits. nema
