Yоu аre wоrking аs аn intensivist in the level оne trauma center's burn unit. You are taking care of a 45 year old male who sustained >50% burns over his body secondary to an explosion in a methamphetamine lab. The nurse calls and reports that she has changed his central line dressing 3 times already this morning. She reports she has held pressure but it will not stop bleeding. On exam of the patient you notice the bleeding from the central line, along his gums, and along his foley catheter. You order a CBC, PT, aPTT, INR, fibrinogen, Factor V, Factor VII, and a D-dimer because you are concerned for what condition?
