Thank you...was wondering how one could have massive clotting and yet bleeding at the same time. This explained the physiology perfectly in a quick concise way. It lets me know what to look for in labs because I UNDERSTAND it, not just memorizing the values.
I'm a Medical Lab Scientist at the Seattle Children's Hospital. I found this video clip is very useful. At our Lab, we quite often have samples from patients who diagnosed with DIC, we always look at the patient's charts to learn more about the diagnosis and ongoing treatments before reporting results. Now, I have better idea why different blood products were used on different patients. Thank you!
thank you for this video. I am a nursing student in my critical care rotation and this was a very clear, to the point explanation, better than my professor ;-)
Im a veterinarian from India...doing my research in canine babesiosis and ehrlichiosis complicated with DIC. Ive studied FDP stands for Fibrin degenration product of which d dimer is most helpful. The video was still very helpful. Thank you.
I'm a small town OB nurse who hopes never to see DIC but am petrified that it could happen. Your explanation doesn't make me like DIC any better but at least I understand the disease process now. Thank you!
FDP - Fibrinogen Degradation Products or Fibrin Degradation Products? Isn't FDP is a test done to see whether your clot-dissolving (fibrinolytic) system is working properly or not?
I am interested in how long it takes to go from having an infection to full blown hemorrhagic DIC? Also what type of trauma are they referring to? And if a patient has a trauma how long after the trauma is DIC most likely to occur?
1. Why does the ISTH scoring system utilize PT over PTT? 2. Considering DIC is associated with a massive activation of clotting factors, followed by a residual deficit in these factors (leading to an increased risk of bleeding), would it be fair to state that PT would be below normal limits during the initial onset of DIC and THEN drastically increase? Any insight would be appreciated. Cheers.
+Kishan Aundhia PT is a more reliable test since values in PTT may some times give a false negative. so its unreliable. 50-60percent patients may have prolonged values
Reference to 9:08 I believe you misspoke about abnormal PT values. I believe you meant to say, "if your PT is PROLONGED by less than 3 seconds", "if your PT is PROLONGED by 3 to 6 seconds" and "if your PT is PROLONGED by more than 6 seconds". Keep in mind that normal values of PT are between 11 - 14. In the way you presented, you suggest that normal PT is around 3 seconds, which is not true. Otherwise, great video!
+Ahmed karim I mean no offense but are you sure your not getting his presentation of the material has nothing to do with a problem you may have with English language or not considering the diversity of English accents? Just a thought though. Cheers.

Thank you for posting, I am taking a nursing test on hematology tomorrow and this made my understanding of this disorder more concrete.
thank you for this video. I am a nursing student in my critical care rotation and this was a very clear, to the point explanation, better than my professor ;-)
Thank you for explaining! I survived DIC and it was a very painful and horrible experience..
Kiss Diana hi. How are you..my sister is having same.issue i guess, can you suggest whats the treatment for this DIC
All your vids are spectacular. Thanks for posting. Very helpful for us students.
Really breaks down DIC and makes easy to understand!

nice video...thank you!
please tell me if we r giving FFP to the pt so we have to gv heparin also??? (as to prevent clotting or no need)
Thank you for this video. Very, very clear explanation!
Thankyou Dr Kay, priceless video!
great video. Any mention on blood products? or NS? for tx...
awesome.....gud one...for understanding DIC

Thank you for clarifying the subject matter.
Good job nailing that though I'd like to add. on the treatment
Its wiser to say trading the underlying disorder first followed by controlling the DIC
Great Video..thanks a bunch! - 2nd yr MD
Awesomely informative and perfectly explained! Thank you so much! 😊😊 19/7/2019
very nice explained
Thanks from Iraq 🇮🇶❤
Thanks for watching!
Great summary....
I am interested in how long it takes to go from having an infection to full blown hemorrhagic DIC? Also what type of trauma are they referring to? And if a patient has a trauma how long after the trauma is DIC most likely to occur?
Nice Summary
very clear and useful.
what IV antibiotics can be used for its treatment?
Thanks, Dr. K
excellent video.......
This video really helped!
great! very concise...thank you
Than you for responding.
great video! thanks!
Where here to talk about d.i.c also known as
DIC
great stuff!

Fresh frozen plasma/cryoprecipitate can be used to help normalize fibrinogen levels but the true treatment is to treat the underlying etiology

good job...
awesome thank you
Well done :)
wonderful
thanks
good content, difficult to track the visual
I can't get that one video with the DIC logo out of my mind...
You mean the one where the audio is dubbed with someone shouting DICK?
cool cat that's the one
Sam Houser i agree
Sam Houser lol me too
very good.
Treating the underlying cause
replacing with platelets and thrombin factors--most acceptable Tx
thank you... it helps a lot ^_^
Finally I understood
.thank you!
My sister died from DIC. She had abortion just 24 hours before. She passed within 24 hours after the infection ( sepsis). :(
thanks :)
Thanks :-D
man, how did i get here, i was just searching for the viraemia song
Idk why
dic!!!!
chris rona keep it or change it
informative. slow down and articulate more. video doesn't track well.
tuturututu DIC
That zooming-in makes it very hard to pause and take notes, very distracting.
That, and a love of medicine! \m/
No good evidence for heparin. I would stick with FFP
did any else get cuz of a viraemia song?
study material are rich but the way present it is very poor.

I like video. I hate hematology.
