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.

Nonpenetrating injuries to the abdomen represent a challenging problem in our nation's hospitals today. There seems little likelihood—in a growing society in which nearly 40,000 persons annually are killed in automobile accidents, and 3,500,000 injured—that we can look with any optimism toward the prevention of these injuries. It is hoped that a review

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

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 ...

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 ...
