Summary
Coagulopathy is the loss of balance between hemostatic and fibrinolytic processes resulting in excessive bleeding, intravascular thrombosis, or abnormalities in coagulation testing. It is frequently encountered in the neurocritical care unit and can contribute to poor outcomes. Coagulopathies present unique challenges to the neurointensivist, where early recognition and appropriate management are key. In this chapter, we will discuss techniques to assess coagulopathies as well as treatment strategies for the brain-injured patient.
