The Hemostatic System in Miners with Brain InjuryInduced Emergencies

The hemostatic system was studied in 36 miners (Group 1) who were in the critical condition after severe brain injury (SBI). Group 2 comprised 21 working miners. In both groups, the length of underground service was more than 10 years. The studies indicated that the miners working under underground...

Description
Summary:The hemostatic system was studied in 36 miners (Group 1) who were in the critical condition after severe brain injury (SBI). Group 2 comprised 21 working miners. In both groups, the length of underground service was more than 10 years. The studies indicated that the miners working under underground conditions had moderate hemostatic changes manifesting as endothelial lesions, platelet dysfunction, and coagulatory and kallikrein-dependent fibrinolytic disorders. These impairments promoted the development of the disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome in the miners with SBI-induced critical condition.
