Serum Antithrombin III Level in Multi-Trauma Patients Who Develop Sepsis

摘要

Sepsis is one of the most important causes of mortality in trauma patients. Sometimes its diagnosis could be difficult, especially at early stages. It is clear that early diagnosis of sepsis, especially with serum markers, may decrease the rate of death in trauma patients. Investigation to find a rapid as well as accurate serum marker indicative of sepsis seems necessary. Seum antithrombin III (AT III) level may predict sepsis occurrence in multi-trauma patients.
