ABSTRACT
Objective To observe changes of plasma thrombinogen segment 1+2(FI+2)and D-dimer(D-D)in multiple trauma patients and exphlore their relations with traumatic disseminated intra-vascular coagulation(DIC). Methods A total of 66 multiple trauma patients were divided into minor injury group(ISS＜16 points,21 patients)and severe multiple trauma group(ISS≥16 points,45 pa-tients).Then.severe multiple trauma group were divided into DIC group(12 patients)and non-DIC group(33 patients).Another 10 healthy pemons were served as control group.Venous blood was collect-ed once in the control group and that collected from other groups at days 1,3 and 7 after injury.The F1 +2 concentrarion was detetrained with ELISA.and the D-D concentration was measured by automated la-tex enhanced immunoassay. Results The F1+2 and D-D levels in the minor injury group and sever multiple trauma group were both higher than that of the control group.In the meantime.the F1+2 and D-D levels in severe injury group were remarkably higher than that in the minor injury group.The plasma F1 +2 and D-D levels were elevated continuously in traumatic DIC group and remarkably higher than that in the non.DIC group.in which the plasma F1+2 and D-D levels gradually declined.Plasma F1+2 and D-D levels had significantly positive correlations at days 1,3 and 7 after injury. Conclusions Hiigher levels of F1+2 and D.D at acute stage is not only relevant to the injury severity,but also closely to the occurrence of traumatic DIC after injury.Detection of plasma F1+2 and D-D levels may play an impor-taut role in early prediction of DIC.
