Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1985
Abdominal injuries are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In the face of more obvious traumatic lesions, life-threatening intra-abdominal injuries may be initially overlooked. Plain abdominal and chest radiographs may prove diagnostic for specific injuries. However, normal or equivocal studies should not exclude the diagnosis of significant

The proper management of abdominal injuries is essential to maximize the chances of survival of the multiply injured patient. Although the assessment of the abdomen must take place within the framework of the primary and secondary surveys of the patient, the critical management decision focuses on the need for exploratory laparotomy.

Laparoscopy in Abdominal Trauma
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2010The decision in favor of surgery or nonoperative conservative treatment in blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma requires a precise diagnosis that is not always possible with imaging techniques, whereby there is great danger that an injury to the diaphragm or intestines may be overlooked.

Assessment and management of patients with blunt abdominal trauma remains a challenge for emergency physicians. The spectrum of injury ranges from the trivial to the catastrophic and the initial assessment, resuscitation, and investigation of patients with abdominal trauma must be individualized.

Abdominal Ultrasonography in Trauma
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1995The use of ultrasonography for the investigation of urgent diagnostic dilemmas is by no means new. Although it has been widely used for almost 40 years, during the past two decades ultrasonography has achieved a primary role in Europe and Asia in the investigation of emergent conditions such as trauma.

Penetrating trauma of the abdomen no longer warrants automatic laparotomy. Reasonably accurate clinical predictors of the need for operation should first be employed. Patients who do not meet these clinical criteria undergo a selective diagnostic approach on the basis of mechanism and site of injury and the experience and expertise of the respective ...

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1976
Three cases of blunt abdominal trauma are presented to exemplify the mechanism of trauma and the problems of diagnosis associated with any linear blow to the abdomen. The mechanisms of visceral injury are reviewed, and special attention is directed to the abdominal wall injury that can be present in these patients.

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1978
Blunt abdominal trauma is a possible sequel of many accidents and can result in death from hemorrhage or sepsis if it is not detected early and managed aggressively. A thorough history of the causative accident, a systematic abdominal examination, selected laboratory studies, and x-ray films are helpful in establishing the diagnosis.

IN 1970, trauma was the fourth leading cause of death, after heart disease, cancer, and stroke.1Of the 52 million US citizens injured annually, 110,000 die, while 11 million require hospitalization for one or more days, at a cost of $3 billion.2 The role of radiology has steadily increased in importance in the diagnosis and management of abdominal ...

This paper reviews the clinical records of 99 children admitted to hospital over a 12 year period after significant abdominal trauma. Most were in the 8–10 years old age group and there were almost twice as many boys as girls. Laparotomy was necessary in one‐third of the patients. There were seven deaths in the series, all of whom had multiple injuries.
