Abstract
The degree of metabolic acidosis in trauma patients is positively correlated to the severity of hemostasis dysfunction. Additionally, acidosis induces more serious impairment to hemostasis in trauma patients than in healthy volunteers. Moreover, acidosis-induced r time elongation is positively related to a higher death rate and increased transfusion requirement and this indicates a predictive role of TEG® variables for prognosis of traumatized patients.
