What additional factors might indicate a trauma alert in patients?

Anticoagulant therapy is a relevant factor that may indicate a trauma alert because it affects the body's ability to form clots and can significantly increase the risk of severe bleeding and complications following a traumatic event. Patients on anticoagulants are more vulnerable to hemorrhagic issues, so if they experience trauma, the potential for serious injury and the need for immediate medical attention escalates. The presence of anticoagulants in a patient's system would signal to medical responders that the patient may require specialized care to manage the risk of significant bleeding.

In contrast, while elements like high fever, being over the age of 65, and skin allergies could potentially have implications in the medical assessment process, they typically do not indicate immediate life-threatening conditions associated with trauma. High fever may suggest an underlying infection rather than a direct result of trauma, allergies generally do not relate to trauma assessment, and while age can be a consideration for overall health and recovery, it is not a direct indicator for a trauma alert in the same critical way that anticoagulant therapy is.
