Coagulation Changes in Trauma Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Deep Vein Thrombosis

In brief

Hypothesis to be tested: placement of a central venous catheter will induce a systemic hypercoagulable state. To determine this, the investigators will measure thromboelastography (TEG), PT(prothrombin time), PTT (partial thromboplastin time), Prothrombin Fragment 1.2, Factor VIII, and VonWillebrand's Factor. In addition, duplex ultrasound will be performed to correlate the laboratory coagulation values with functional changes (i.e. deep venous thrombosis).
