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 spectrum of injuries after blunt chest trauma presents a challenging problem to the emergency physician. The clinician must select among a number of diagnostic tests and therapeutic options after the initial history and physical examination has been performed. Nine clinical entities are discussed: sternal fracture, flail chest, pulmonary contusion,

Blunt pelvic trauma results in significant morbidity and mortality from associated genitourinary, neurological, vascular, and visceral damage. Diagnosis begins in the ED with the initial trauma evaluation. Proper treatment using a multidisciplinary approach and cooperation between orthopedist, urologist, trauma surgeon, and emergency physician should ...

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.

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

DIAGNOSIS of lesions of the heart related to blunt trauma is a challenge, mainly because of confusion about the terms used and the absence of recognized standards. It has been recommended that the term myocardial contusion be avoided and that the term blunt cardiac trauma be used only in the presence of pump failure or malignant cardiac rhythms.

Pediatrics In Review, 1996
Serious injuries remain the number one cause of death among American children. Major trauma is responsible for more than 50% of the mortality in children between the ages of 1 and 14 years. The majority of these life-threatening injuries result from blunt trauma rather than from penetrating injuries, which are much more common in adults.

This paper describes the assessment, investigation and management of patients suffering blunt abdominal trauma. Many of the structures within the abdominal cavity are highly vascular and damage following trauma can lead to life-threatening hypovolaemia.

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 ...

Background: The management of splenic injury resulting from blunt trauma in adults is controversial, with an increasing trend towards non‐operative management and conservation of the spleen. A retrospective review was performed on adult patients treated in a single institution for splenic injury resulting from blunt trauma in an attempt to identify ...
