摘 要:BACKGROUND:Uncontrolled hemorrhage is responsible for over 50% of all trauma-related deaths within the first 48 hours after admission. Clinical observations together with recent research resulted in an appreciation of the central role of coagulopathy in acute trauma care. A synopsis is presented of different retrospective analyses based upon datasets from severe multiply injured patients derived from the TR-DGU database (Trauma Registry of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Unfallchirurgie (DGU)/ German Society of Trauma Surgery) with respect to frequency, risk stratification and therapeutic options of acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC).;METHODS:The synopsis of different analyses based upon the datasets from severe multiply injured patients derived from the TR-DGU database and development/validation of a scoring system (TASH-score = Trauma Associated Severe Hemorrhage) that allows an early and reliable estimation for the probability of massive transfusion as a surrogate for life-threatening hemorrhage after severe multiple injuries.;RESULTS:The high frequency of ATC upon emergency room admission is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in multiply injured patients. The TASH-score is recognized as an easy-to-calculate and valid scoring system to predict the individual s probability for massive transfusion and thus ongoing life-threatening hemorrhage at a very early stage after severe multiple injuries.;CONCLUSIONS:An early aggressive management of ATC including a more balanced administration of blood products to improve outcome is advocated.
