Activity Description

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a complex condition characterized by a widespread hypercoagulable state in small and large blood vessels that can lead to microvascular and macrovascular clotting and compromised blood flow, ultimately resulting in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Commonly, life-threatening illnesses accompany disseminated intravascular coagulation, presenting a challenge in diagnosis and management. 

This activity reviews the evaluation and management of disseminated intravascular coagulation and provides guidance on identifying underlying causes and implementing appropriate treatments tailored to individual patients. Additionally, the significance of recognizing disseminated intravascular coagulation in critically ill patients is highlighted, as its presence significantly impacts mortality rates, particularly in conjunction with sepsis or severe trauma. Further, this activity emphasises the importance of an interprofessional approach to caring for affected patients. Interdisciplinary collaboration ensures timely diagnosis, appropriate management, and ongoing monitoring, thereby enhancing the quality of care and outcomes for patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.
