About Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is not a procedure but a life-threatening medical condition requiring urgent management by a Hematologist. It is a complex blood clotting disorder where the body's normal clotting mechanisms become overactive, leading to simultaneous widespread clot formation in small blood vessels and excessive bleeding due to the depletion of clotting factors and platelets. The hematologist's role involves rapid diagnosis through blood tests, treating the underlying cause (like severe infection, trauma, or cancer), and providing critical supportive care. This includes administering blood products like fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, or platelets to control bleeding and prevent organ damage. Management is a delicate balance between stopping clotting and preventing hemorrhage.

Key Highlights

    Urgent, life-saving intervention for a critical blood disorder.Managed by specialized hematologists with expertise in complex coagulation.Focuses on treating the underlying cause while stabilizing the patient.Utilizes targeted blood product transfusions to restore clotting balance.Aims to prevent irreversible organ damage and fatal hemorrhage.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Severe bacterial infections (sepsis) or viral infections.
  • Major trauma, burns, or heatstroke.
  • Complications during pregnancy (e.g., placental abruption, amniotic fluid embolism).
  • Certain cancers, especially acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
  • Severe liver disease or pancreatitis.
  • Signs of abnormal bleeding alongside widespread clotting, such as oozing from IV sites, petechiae, or organ dysfunction.

How to prepare

  • Immediate admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for continuous monitoring.
  • Rapid collection of blood samples for coagulation profiles (PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, D-dimer), complete blood count, and peripheral smear.
  • Securing large-bore intravenous (IV) access for fluid and blood product administration.
  • Initiation of diagnostic workup to identify and treat the underlying trigger (e.g., imaging, cultures).
  • Informing and counseling the patient's family about the critical nature of the condition.

Risks & possible complications

  • Severe, uncontrollable hemorrhage leading to hypovolemic shock.
  • Organ failure (kidney, liver, lungs) due to microvascular clots (thrombosis).
  • Complications from massive blood product transfusions (e.g., transfusion reactions, fluid overload).
  • Long-term complications like limb ischemia or necrosis from large vessel clots.
  • High mortality rate, especially if diagnosis or treatment is delayed.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery occurs in the ICU with close monitoring of vital signs, coagulation parameters, and organ function.
  • As the underlying cause is treated and DIC resolves, blood product support is gradually tapered.
  • Follow-up with the hematologist is essential to monitor for any recurrence or long-term effects.
  • Recovery time depends heavily on the severity of the initial trigger and any organ damage sustained.
  • Patients may require rehabilitation if organ damage (e.g., renal failure) or ischemic injuries occurred.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-21 days (typically prolonged ICU stay)
  • checked Expected recovery time: Several weeks to months, depending on complications

As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with rare Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, I'd consulted specialists across Europe with no clear treatment path. Dr. Shimoni's revolutionary approach using targeted immunotherapy not only put my cancer in remission but allowed me to continue my fieldwork in Jordan just three months later.
