Treatment: Treatment requires prompt recognition of the condition and immediate supportive care. Treatment of the underlying infection is a must, and in trauma-induced cases, bleeding must be stopped and coagulation factors replaced as they are lost. The main component of therapy is treatment of the underlying cause that has precipitated the DIC event. The treatment of DIC is complicated and should be undertaken in a critical care setting. Many agents are used to help decrease thrombosis and replace lost clotting factors. A fine balance must be maintained between clotting and thrombosis. Patients with severe DIC have a poor prognosis.
