Presentation
Signs & Symptoms
•Acute & persistent abdominal pain
•Abdominal tenderness
•Rebound tenderness
•Rigidity
•Shoulder tip pain
•Absent bowel sounds
•Signs of shock
•Abdominal distension
•Grey Turner sign-Briusing of the flanks ,the part of
the body between the last rib
and the top of the hip
•Cullen’s sign -Superficial edema and bruising
in the subcutaneous fatty
tissue around the umbilicus
INVESTIGATIONS
 FBC, LFT, BU/SE
 CXR – Air under the diapragm
 AXR- Not much important in detecting organ damage
 USS – FAST SCAN ( Focused Abdominal Sonography
for Trauma )
Detects Perihepatic, Perisplenic,
Pelvic & Pericardiac fluid
 CT scan
PENETRATING TRAUMA
 CAUSES - Gun shot injuries
Stab injuries
 THE MOST COMMONLY INJURED ORGANS ARE:-
 Small intestine
 Liver
MANAGEMENT
 A, B, C
 Look for evidence of any wounds
EX:- Both entry & exit wounds in gun shot wounds
(GSW)
 All penetrating truma secondary to gsw
Exploratory laparotomy
 STAB WOUNDS
IF,
Haemodynamically stable
No signs of peritonism
No evisceration
No air under the diapragm on CXR
CAN Mx Conservatively
IF Any of above present/ suspect organ damage
EXPLORATORY LAPAROTOMY
BLUNT TRAUMA
CAUSES – Direct injury
Deceleration
Rotational force
 COMMONLY INJURED ORGANS ARE :-
 Spleen
 Liver
MANAGEMENT
 A, B, C
 Easily missed as it can present without much
symptoms or signs
 Suspect if
 Skin abrasions
 Seat belt imprint
 10-12 rib #
 Peritonism
 Distension
 (-) Bowel sounds
 Shock
 Haematuria
 IF ;
 Hypotension refractory to resucitation
Peritonism
Air under the diaphrgm
Evisceration
(+ ) CT SCAN
EXPLORATORY LAPAROTOMY
 IF ;
None of above is (+) in a haemodynamically stable
patient , observe closely for deterioration or
complications
SPLEEN
 MOST COMMONLY INJURED ORGAN IN BLUNT
TRAUMA
 SYMPTOMS/ SIGNS –
 Left hypochondrial bruisig
 L/S lower rib #
 L/ S shoulder tip pain
MANAGEMENT
 Non operative – HD stable pt with no
evidence of organ injury
observe for splenic rupture
 Radiological – Splenic Angio-Embolization
 Operative – Urgent laparotomy
Packing
Diathermy
Suturing the laceration
Ligate splenic vessels
Partial splenectomy
LIVER
 SYMPTOMS/ SIGNS ,
Right hypochondrial bruising
Broken R/S 10- 12 ribs
R/ Shoulder tip pain
MANAGEMENT
 RADIOLOGICAL – Embolization
 OPERATIVE – Urgent laparotomy
Packing liver with gauze
Ligation of the feeding artery
Suture the laceration
Resection of unviable liver
fragments
SMALL BOWEL
 COMMONLY INJURED IN PENETRATING TRAUMA
 CAUSES – Deceleration injury (ileocaecal area)
Blast injury
 SYMPTOMS/ SIGNS – Peritonism
(-) Bowel sounds
MANAGEMENT
 EXPLORATORY LAPAROTOMY RESECTION
ANASTOMOSIS
Kidney
 Following heavy fall, blow or crushing injury
 SYMPTOMS/SIGNS – Pain
Bruising
Swelling in the loin
Haematuria
Ureteric colic
Management
 Non operative – Conservative Management
 Operative - Partial/ total nephrectomy
Suture of lacerations
Bladder & Urethra
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
 Abdominal distension
 Inability to pass urine
 Haematuria
MANAGEMENT
 Partial rupture of urethra- supra pubic catheterization
