The Relationship Between Lipid Peroxidation Products From Traumatic Brain Injury and Secondary Coagulation Disorders

Uncontrolled hemorrhage after trauma is the leading cause of death. The mechanism of secondary coagulation dysfunction after trauma is special and complex, which has not been fully explained, leading to limited treatment and prevention methods. Coagulation disorders caused by traumatic brain injury is a systemic manifestation of local injury, which can activate platelets and promote platelet aggregation, activate thrombin, and promote the production of fibrin, leading to the formation of thrombosis. However, in non-injured areas, pro-coagulant molecules from damaged brain tissue reach the body through the broken blood-brain barrier, and also activate platelets and thrombin, promoting the formation of blood clots. Lipid peroxidation products are closely related to the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction. The effects lipid peroxidation products on platelets, thrombin and anticoagulant pathways may be a novel mechanism of secondary coagulation dysfunction in traumatic brain injury.
