Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Classical coagulation tests - Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) - Hematocrit (Ht), hemoglobin (Hb) Plasma coagulation parameters: - Plasma tissue factor antigen - Fibrin formation - Thrombin-antithrombin III complex - D-dimers and E-fragments (fibrin degradation products) - Activated protein C-protein C inhibitor complex - Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) - Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) - Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) - Thrombomodulin and thrombin/thrombomodulin complex Coagulation parameters will be associated with patient demographics, prehospital treatment characteristics, surgical and pharmacological interventions, base deficit (BD), arterial oxygen pressure (pO2), arterial carbon dioxide pressure (pCO2), lactate, pH, fluid management, use of anticoagulants, alcohol abuse, cranial CT scan classification, GCS at the accident scene and upon hospital admission, Revised Trauma Score (RTS) Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), 6-month neurologic and overall patient outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and 6-month mortality). | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Level of fibrinolysis using rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM) - DIC using ISTH DIC scoring system (platelet count, D-dimer, prolonged PT and fibrinogen level) - Tissue hemoglobin oxygenation using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) - Endothelial barrier function will be analyzed in an Electric Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) system | — |
