This lecture focuses on complex trauma cases, illustrating diagnostic and treatment challenges in managing severe coagulopathy and bleeding. The cases emphasize the importance of early intervention, tailored blood product administration, and the role of specific coagulation factors (like fibrinogen and FXIII) in stabilizing critically ill patients. Each case highlights different aspects of trauma-induced coagulopathy, balancing the risks of under- or overtreatment, and identifying laboratory pitfalls during resuscitation.
