Microvesicle Production After Trauma and Its Clinical Impact on Venothromboembolism
Abstract
Polytrauma is most often caused from explosive devices and accounts for about 65% of injuries to our military personnel. People with polytrauma are at increased risk of developing either bleeding and/or a clot in their veins which cause a life-threatening event known as venous thromboembolism (VTE). We began enrollment of patients into the study on 2 February, 2011. As of 21 September, 2011, we have successfully enrolled and collected blood samples on 279 patients and 64 healthy volunteers. We also began analyzing plasma samples to assess their potential for thrombin generation.
