Abstract

Clotting catastrophies are rarely encountered challenges in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and their presentation and progress maybe devastating and fulminant. Dramatic onset and involvement of multiple vascular beds should alert the clinician to look for these disorders. Outcomes may be improved with rapid diagnosis and prompt institution of specific therapies and interdisciplinary liaison holds the key to success.
