Match the type of bleeding with its description:
Match the type of bleeding with its description:
Diffuse bleeding = Wound or intravenous sites, or both, and from mucous membranes Local petechiae = Small red or purple spots on the body caused by bleeding Ecchymoses = Larger areas of discoloration due to bleeding under the skin Mucous membrane bleeding = Bleeding occurring in areas like the mouth, nose, or gastrointestinal tract
Match the laboratory finding with its therapeutic response:
Match the laboratory finding with its therapeutic response:
Decreased platelets = Transfuse 5-10 units of platelets Increased PT and PTT = Administer fresh frozen plasma Low platelets with decreased fibrinogen = Transfusion of cryoprecipitate and platelets Increased fibrinogen levels = No immediate transfusion required
Match the condition of the patient with the necessary correction:
Match the condition of the patient with the necessary correction:
Hypothermia = Correct before surgical interventions Thrombocytopathy = Consider administering DDAVP Coagulopathy = Immediate PT, PTT, fibrinogen, platelet count Surgical hemostasis = Rule out before further evaluations

Study Notes
Workup and Initial Therapy for Coagulopathy
- Type of bleeding: Diffuse from wounds/IV sites, mucous membranes, or localized petechiae/ecchymoses
- Rule out: Lack of surgical hemostasis
- Correct: Hypothermia
- Initial assessment: Prothrombin time (PT), Partial thromboplastin time (PTT), fibrinogen, platelet count
- Decreased platelets/suspected thrombocytopathy: Transfuse 5-10 units of platelets, consider DDAVP
- Increased PT/PTT, normal platelet counts/increased fibrinogen: Fresh frozen plasma
- Increased PT/PTT, low platelets, decreased fibrinogen: Fibrin split products + cryoprecipitate + platelets. Workup for disseminated intravascular coagulopathy/fibrinolysis
