Characteristics of computed tomography in hemodynamically unstable blunt trauma patients
Emergent exploratory laparotomy is recommended for hemodynamically unstable blunt trauma patients suspected of having hemoperitoneum. However, given the unreliability of ultrasonography and rapid scan speed of computed tomography (CT), CT might help clinicians provide accurate information even in hemodynamically unstable trauma patients. This observational study aimed to describe the bleeding s...
متن کاملNoninvasive management strategy in hemodynamically unstable patients with blunt trauma.
BACKGROUND Non-operative management in abdominal injuries may reduce non-therapeutic laparatomies without increasing mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of a recently used non-invasive management strategy, in trauma patients in our institution. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed. The sixty-three patients (50 males; 13 females; range 8 to 61 years) with ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Abdominal Ultrasonography in Patients with Blunt Abdominal Trauma
BACKGROUND Various investigative modalities are used to detect intra-abdominal injury requiring surgical intervention. Ultrasonography (US) is a cheap, readily available, safe and non-invasive investigation used in the evaluation of patients with blunt abdominal trauma. Patients are subjected to no added risk of radiation. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of US ...
متن کاملAdrenal dysfunction in hemodynamically unstable patients in the emergency department.
OBJECTIVE Adrenal failure, a treatable condition, can have catastrophic consequences if unrecognized in critically ill ED patients. The authors' objective was to prospectively study adrenal function in a case series of hemodynamically unstable (high-risk) patients from a large, urban ED over a 12-month period. METHODS In a prospective manner, critically ill adult patients presenting to the ED...
متن کاملManaging the Hemodynamically Unstable Patient
Introduction, and some Caveats Postoperative heart failure may be encountered as (1) acute cardiogenic shock a consequence of acute intraoperative ischemia, reperfusion injury and stunned myocardium; (2) as end-stage heart disease a continuation of chronic heart failure or inability to recruit hibernating myocardium; (3) acute on chronic heart failure. Each presents its own challenges. Cardioge...
