Gastric rupture after blunt abdominal trauma is a rare injury with few reports in the literature. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with blunt gastric injuries and compare outcomes with small bowel or colon injuries. All patients with hollow viscus perforations after blunt abdominal trauma from 1992 to 2005 at our level I trauma ...

Blunt abdominal trauma results in potentially life-threatening injuries that require organized rapid evaluation and treatment. Resuscitation of hemodynamically unstable patients should be completed in the operating room if retroperitoneal hemorrhage is not strongly suspected.

The incidence of cardiac injury after blunt chest trauma is difficult to determine and ranges from 8% to 76%. Moreover, the clinical presentation varies tremendously without a real gold standard to exclude or document cardiac involvement. Electrocardiogram as a single test is not sensitive or specific for diagnosing cardiac contusion.

Blunt cerebrovascular injuries
Current Problems in Surgery, 1999On the basis of our experience and the available literature, we submit that aggressive screening for BCI based on injury patterns is warranted. However, several important clinical issues remain unresolved. The precise injury patterns and relative cerebrovascular risks remain to be defined.

The management of the patient with blunt abdominal trauma remains in continuous flux. The emergency physician cannot place undue reliance on physical examination, and plain radiography of the abdomen rarely adds to patient care. Laboratory tests, particularly elevated liver function tests or a large base deficit, may increase our suspicion for ...

The diagnosis of blunt cardiac injury is often difficult to make because of the multiple associated injuries, the lack of specific physical findings, and the lack of sensitivity and specificity of the electrocardiograms and enzyme changes. The two-dimensional echocardiogram and the monitoring of filling pressures and cardiac indexes by pulmonary artery

Emergency physicians must diagnose or exclude cervical spine trauma in daily practice. This is a complicated task, as the presentation may be subtle and the manifestations obscured, and no imaging modality is completely sensitive or specific. The research of the past two decades serves as a guide as to which types of patients require cervical ...

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2010
Blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) are a rare but potentially devastating injury with stroke rates up to 50%. Over the past decade, the recognition and subsequent management of these injuries has undergone a marked evolution. This review will focus on the rationale for BCVI screening, imaging options, and treatment modalities.There are no ...

Blunt injury to the heart ranges from contusion to disruption. This report comprises 14 patients seen during a 6-year period with cardiac rupture secondary to blunt trauma. Eight patients were injured in automobile accidents, two patients were injured in auto-pedestrian accidents, two were kicked in the chest by ungulates, and two sustained falls ...
