It explains the non-overt (hypercoagulable) and overt stages of DIC, the signs of each and how they are diagnosed, including manual platelet counts and schistocytes on a blood smear. It finishes with treatment and nursing care: addressing the underlying cause, plasma and fresh whole blood transfusions, gentle handling, oxygen therapy and close monitoring.
