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.

[@alextu9454]

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!

[@kissdiana8112]

Thank you for explaining! I survived DIC and it was a very painful and horrible experience..

[@khancapricorn444]

Kiss Diana hi. How are you..my sister is having same.issue i guess, can you suggest whats the treatment for this DIC

[@Frevlaven]

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 ;-)

[@nancycarnes6810]

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!

[@astridchapman4127]

Thank you for posting, I am taking a nursing test on hematology tomorrow and this made my understanding of this disorder more concrete.

[@silverlake5033]

Really breaks down DIC and makes easy to understand!

[@abhishekvet]

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.

[@kujo3423]

Thank you for clarifying the subject matter.

[@Frank-xn2bl]

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

[@izzat1508]

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?

[@s.h.5098]

I can't get that one video with the DIC logo out of my mind...

[@Mobilegasstation]

You mean the one where the audio is dubbed with someone shouting DICK?

[@s.h.5098]

cool cat that's the one

[@chrisrona4271]

Sam Houser i agree

[@spoidermon4423]

Sam Houser lol me too

[@bigsoutherncountry1]

All your vids are spectacular. Thanks for posting. Very helpful for us students.

[@evanalijabbaroleiwi2515]

Thanks from Iraq 🇮🇶❤

[@iMedSchool]

Thanks for watching!

[@veryangrystorks]

Thank you for this video. Very, very clear explanation!

[@doctoroberoi]

Great Video..thanks a bunch! - 2nd yr MD

[@user-jv8qz5ls3n]

Thankyou Dr Kay, priceless video!

[@ThatGuy-mt6zd]

Where here to talk about d.i.c also known as
DIC

[@HafizahHoshni]

Awesomely informative and perfectly explained! Thank you so much! 😊😊 19/7/2019

[@trieudeptrai]

very clear and useful.

[@johnandcassiereed9165]

good content, difficult to track the visual

[@hjonpark]

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!

[@muyassarmirkhoshimova2584]

very nice explained

[@iMedSchool]

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

[@nichols44nancy]

great! very concise...thank you

[@jenniferrobertson928]

Treating the underlying cause
replacing with platelets and thrombin factors--most acceptable Tx

[@sarangasumathipala2883]

Nice Summary

[@vickie1204]

Than you for responding.

[@adityadayma]

awesome.....gud one...for understanding DIC

[@tcdsvuzjyh123456789]

Thanks, Dr. K

[@OderintDumMetuat]

This video really helped!

[@KeenaArtist]

Great summary....

[@TheFrancyvania]

Finally I understood

[@kishanaundhia4937]

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.

[@Frank-xn2bl]

+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

[@mohdshabib4884]

excellent video.......

[@vickie1204]

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?

[@scoubywan]

great video! thanks!

[@farbodzamani7248]

wonderful
thanks

[@sarelgaurMD]

awesome thank you

[@chunmeili1070]

very good.

[@drfrashablackrose3381]

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)

[@starryskies88]

great stuff!

[@Sunshinegurl23]

what IV antibiotics can be used for its treatment?

[@shaistasiddiqui3575]

good job...

[@almogsab1]

.thank you!

[@MsLora2000]

My sister died from DIC. She had abortion just 24 hours before. She passed within 24 hours after the infection ( sepsis). :(

[@Sunshinegurl23]

thank you... it helps a lot ^_^

[@barbieparedes6812]

great video. Any mention on blood products? or NS? for tx...

[@zahraaaqeel2316]

Well done :)

[@mateyobonham1]

informative. slow down and articulate more. video doesn't track well.

[@azariobeeh]

thanks :)

[@captfalconXX]

Thanks :-D

[@nick1237811]

man, how did i get here, i was just searching for the viraemia song

[@chrisrona4271]

Idk why

[@jennybaxter6336]

That zooming-in makes it very hard to pause and take notes, very distracting.

[@202shibly]

study material are rich but the way present it is very poor.

[@IssahBinMohammed]

+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.

[@iMedSchool]

No good evidence for heparin. I would stick with FFP

[@veryangrystorks]

That, and a love of medicine! \m/

[@Cookieonbass]

did any else get cuz of a viraemia song?

[@jonathancartwheelfruitloop3071]

dic!!!!

[@jonathancartwheelfruitloop3071]

chris rona keep it or change it
