Background: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of trauma related mortality. The initial injury is often complicated by multifactorial coagulopathy that can exacerbate bleeding. Fibrinogen is the precursor to fibrin and a major component of stable clot formation. Fibrinogen and fibrin are often depleted during major trauma as a result of consumption, breakdown, and dilution.

We’re dispatched to an overdose on Ashley Street. I am in the fly car and a BLS crew is in the ambulance. We’re driving around looking for the victim. I don’t see anyone on two passes, but then I hear the BLS unit radio they’ve found him. I swing around to where they are now parked at the curb with their lights still going. An EMT is already wheeling the stretcher down a short alley where his partner is kneeling by the dumpster.
