The trauma triad of death is a medical term describing the combination of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. [1] This combination is commonly seen in patients who have sustained severe traumatic injuries and results in a significant rise in the mortality rate. [2]

2014年4月2日 · The lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy has been recognized as a significant cause of death in patients with traumatic injuries.

2023年9月9日 · The trauma triad of death refers to a sequence of physiological abnormalities that occur in severely traumatized patients. It consists of three components: hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy, which collectively contribute to poor outcomes and increased mortality rates.

The death triad, including coagulopathy, hypothermia, and acidosis, is shown to be a strong predictor of mortality in trauma patients. We aimed to investigate whether the inclusion of hypotension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 60 mmHg, ...

2024年5月5日 · Traumatic injuries unleash a cascade of factors contributing to patient peril, warranting thorough examination. This topic explains the lethal triad comprising hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy, pivotal indicators of injury severity and …

The trauma triad of death is one example of this. The provider who can assess, identify and treat a patient while simultaneously appreciating and preventing the trauma triad of death will be effective in reducing trauma-related morbidity and mortality.

This article examines the physiology of the 'triad of death' -hypothermia, metabolic acidosis and coagulopathy - to highlight the importance of monitoring and maintaining normothermia, or normal body temperature, which is between 36°C and 37.2°C, in trauma patients to improve outcomes.

2009年1月12日 · The trauma triad of death consists of three interconnected elements — hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy, a failure in the body's clotting process.
