In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I understand DIC is a sudden, life-threatening problem that causes both harmful clots and bleeding.
- I know DIC is caused by another serious problem, often sepsis, major injury, cancer, surgery, or pregnancy trouble.
- I know tiny clots can block blood flow and harm my kidneys, lungs, brain, heart, skin, or other organs.
- I understand DIC cannot be treated at home; I need urgent hospital care to treat its cause and protect my organs.
