An observational study on assessment of coagulation abnormalities in critically ill patients

This observational study aims to evaluate the prevalence, types, and clinical significance of coagulation abnormalities in critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Coagulation disturbances are common in ICU settings due to underlying conditions such as sepsis, liver dysfunction, trauma, and the effects of various therapeutic interventions. The study will involve systematic assessment of coagulation parameters including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelet counts , D-dimer, fibrinogen levels and Thromboelastography (TEG) in ICU patients over a specified period. Correlation between coagulation abnormalities and clinical outcomes such as bleeding, thrombosis, length of ICU stay, and mortality will also be analyzed. The findings are expected to provide insights into the importance of routine coagulation monitoring and guide early intervention strategies to improve patient outcomes.
