Our study suggests that the antithrombin administration may be effective tools for DIC treatment, and may be more positively considered, especially in the cases of DIC, which is a frequent complication of septic shock, sepsis, and other critical disease entities and which is associated with a high level of mortality. Furthermore, our study also suggests that the total doses and periods of antithrombin administration, which recommended by national guidelines, may be insufficient, therefore prolongation of period and increase of total dose of antithrombin supplement might be necessary.
