Symptoms of DIC   Bleeding, thrombosis, tissue ischemia. Respiratory failure, abdominal, renal failure, seizures.  
🗑
Diagnosis of DIC   Co-agulation studies. Especially D-dimer are diagnositic.  
🗑
Management of DIC   Remove cause/ event. Manage shock, respiratory compromise, acidosis. Vit K for clotting.
