Intra-Abdominal Solid Organ Injury Management in Pediatrics

correlation between intra-abdominal free fluid and solid organ injury in blunt abdominal trauma

conclusions it seems that fast examination for intra-abdominal fluid in blunt trauma patients can predict intra-abdominal injuries with very high sensitivity and specificity. using the scoring system can more accurately determine the probability of the presence of abdominal injuries with a cut-off point of three. results the mean age of the patients was 29.6 ± 18.3 years and fast was positive i...

Correlation Between Intra-Abdominal Free Fluid and Solid Organ Injury in Blunt Abdominal Trauma

BACKGROUND In previous studies, the diagnostic value of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) has been evaluated but few studies have been performed on the relationship between the amount of free intra-abdominal fluid and organ injury in blunt abdominal trauma. To select patients with a higher probability of intra-abdominal injuries, several scoring systems have been proposed bas...

Blunt aortic injury with concomitant intra-abdominal solid organ injury: treatment priorities revisited.

BACKGROUND Patients with blunt aortic injury (BAI) often have concomitant liver or spleen (L/S) injuries. With increasing use of cardiopulmonary bypass with heparinization in repair of BAI, many advocate operative management of the L/S injury before aortic repair to eliminate risk of hemorrhage. We evaluated the safety of nonoperative management (NOM) of blunt L/S injuries in patients undergoin...

relationship between free intra-abdominal fluid and organ injury in blunt abdominal trauma

background focused assessment with sonography for trauma (fast) is a precise, non-invasive, and low cost method to assess free abdominal fluid in trauma patients. objective this study assessed the relationship between free intra-abdominal fluid and organ injury in blunt abdominal trauma and designed a scoring system based on fast. patients and methods a total of 200 patients with blunt abdomina...
