Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Trauma patients are at high risk of complications and death from coagulopathy and inflammatory organ failure. Recent evidence implicates protein C (PC) as a key mediator of this process. We hypothesized that a mutation in the PC gene would ameliorate the inflammatory and coagulopathic response to hemorrhagic shock (HS) and resuscitation. METHODS: FHH wild type and PC mutant rats underwent controlled...
