Overresuscitation with plasma is associated with sustained fibrinolysis shutdown and death in pediatric traumatic brain injury

摘要

BACKGROUND Elevated International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a marker of poor outcome but not necessarily bleeding or clinical coagulopathy in injured children. Conversely, children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) tend to be hypercoagulable based on rapid thromboelastography (rTEG) parameters. Many clinicians continue to utilize INR as a treatment target.
