This document provides an overview of abdominal trauma, including anatomy, injury assessment, management, and specific injuries to solid organs, hollow organs, major blood vessels, and the urinary system. Key points include: - The abdomen contains many organs that can be difficult to assess when injured. - Solid organ injuries like the liver, spleen, and kidneys can cause severe bleeding and shock. - Hollow organ ruptures from the stomach, intestines, and bladder allow stomach/intestinal contents or urine to spill into the abdomen, causing inflammation. - Failure to properly evaluate, resuscitate, diagnose, or treat abdominal injuries in a timely manner can lead to death.
