ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
2. Clinical manifestations
Does not occur as “a non or all rule”
A range of organ dysfunction resulting in clinical organ failure
Post traumatic syndrome of MOF follows a predictable course
Lung dysfunction precedes
Cardiac by 0.6 days
Hepatic by 4.8 days
Renal by 5.5 days on average
This sequential pattern is affected by pre-existing diseases or the nature of clinical event
3. Contd.
Clinical manifestation and temporal evolution of MOF is influenced by
Host factors
Advanced age
Comorbid diseases
Immunosuppressive drugs
Genetic factors influence severity and progression
genetic polymorphisms in genes controlling the synthesis of cytokines (eg, TNF,
IL-10) or TLR receptors manifest an excessive inflammatory response to acute
injury or sepsis …… higher risk for MODS
4. Early MOF usually manifests within first 72hrs of the physiologic insult in
one of these ways
Physiologic derangement
Need for specific organ supportive therapy
Separate clinical syndrome
5. Pulmonary dysfunction:
ARDS
Acute respiratory failure with formation of non-cardiogenic PE
reduced lung compliance and hypoxaemia which is refractory to oxygen
therapy.
Characterized by
Diffuse pulmonary infiltrates seen on CXR
Pulmonary wedge pressure of < 18mmHg,
PaO2/FiO2 ratio of < 26.6 kPa (200 mmHg)
6. Causes of ARDS
Direct
Pulmonary insults
Lung contusion, pneumonia, smoke inhalation etc.
Indirect
Severe extra pulmonary diseases like bacteremia, trauma, pancreatitis
Two phases
Initiator: release of pro-inflammatory mediators
Effector phase: activated leukocytes release proteolytic enzymes and
ROS…..degradation of components of basement membrane……alveolar
flooding and surfactant deactivation
7. management
Predisposing insult
Nutritional support
Low tidal volume MV
Prognosis
MR 50-60% and when with sepsis, MR increases to 90%
8. Ventilator induced lung injury
VILI develops during treatment of ARDS and fuels failure of other organs
Characterized by
PaO2/FIO2 200 to 300
May or may not progress to ARDS
10. 1, Ischemic hepatitis or shock liver
Hepatic hypo perfusion decreased protein synthesis, lactate clearance,
gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis
Characterized by
elevations in aminotransferase level, prothrombin time, INR
Significant lactic acidosis
Profound hypoglycemia
Centrilobular necrosis on histology
Successful reversal of the shock state with aggressive resuscitation often reverses
the biochemical abnormalities.
11. ICU jaundice
Typically conjugated hyperbilirubinemia
Develops days after the physiologic insult and more common
Histologic features include intrahepatic cholestasis, steatosis, and Kupffer
cell hyperplasia
Causes
Ongoing ischemia
TPN cholestasis
Drug toxicity
Damage to bile canaliculi by infla.mediators or bact.toxin
12. GI dysfunction
Likely results from interacting effects of reduced regional blood flow,
impaired motility, and change in normal microbial flora
Manifestations include
Stress gastritis
ileus and intolerance of enteral feeding,
pancreatitis, and acalculous cholecystitis
Stress bleeding frequency has decreased recently due to
Improved resuscitation
Stress ulcer prophylaxis
13. Renal dysfunction
Reflected by
Decrease in UOP <0.5ml/kg/hr
Increased creatinine level
Need for replacement therapy or dialysis
Early onset: hypotension, decreased RBF
Late onset: multifactorial
Pre-renal factors like d CO and hypovolemia
Nephrotoxic agents( drugs and radiocontrast)
release of cytokines (TNF induces apoptosis of renal cells)
Aggravated by vasoactive agents used in shock treatment
14. Metabolic dysfunction
Severe physiologic stress induces a syndrome of metabolic alterations
termed hypermetabolic stress response
Occurs in 60 to 65% of stressed patients
Changes include:
Increased VO2
Hyperglycemia
Hyperlactatemia
Protein catabolism
15 to 20% of patients have inappropriate hypometabolic response
Stratifying severity of stress to identify significant hypermetabolism
15. Adrenocortical insufficiency
Serum cortisol inadequate for ongoing stress response
Cytokine mediated decrease in synthesis or release of corticotropin releasing
hormone, ACTH or cortisol
May also result from long term administration of glucocorticoids
Characterized by
Decreased SVR, CO and hypovolemia
Considered in critically ill patients vasopressor dependent despite
adequate resuscitation and source control
Dx
Random serum cortisol<10micg/dl or increase <9micg/dl after 250micg/dl iv
ACTH stimulation test
16. Glucose disorders
Hyperglycemia
Develops early following insult
Causes
Increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
Due to increase in stress hormones
ACTH,glucocorticoids, glucagon, cathecolamines and insulin resistance
Hypoglycemia occurs late
Depletion of glycogen store
Failure of gluconeogenesis in liver
17. Cardiovascular dysfunction
Altered peripheral vascular and myocardial function in the absence of pre
existing dysfunction
Clinically manifests with
Peripheral edema with hypotension refractory to volume challenge
Need for vasoactive agents to support circulation
Early hyper dynamic phase
Late hypo daynamic phase
NO is implicated in both the peripheral vasodilatation and the myocardial
depression.
Dilation of ventricles-----increase LVEDV…..maintain SV despite impaired
contractility
18. Despite correction of macrovascular hemodynamic parameters, persistent
microvascular dysfunction is associated with organ dysfunction and death
Endothelial activation mediated by Lectin-like
oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) ….
induces superoxide generation, and enhances endothelial
adhesiveness to leukocytes and chemokine production….endothelial dysfunction
……MODs
LOX_1 a novel target for modulation of inflammation in microcirculation
19. Neurologic dysfunction
CNS dysfunction
In 70% of critically ill patients
Confusion, disorientation, decreased level of consciousness
Without focal signs
Recently known to be independent predictor of poor out come
Complex phenomenon involving
Alteration of BBB
Entry of circulating cytokines
Endotoxemia stimulating local production of TNF by microglia and astrocytes
TNF induces brain edema, neutrophil infiltration, astrocytosis, and apoptotic cellular death
20. PNS dysfunction (critical illness polyneuropathy)
clinical presentation tends to be more subtle than that of CNS
Diffuse weakness, depressed reflex, distal sensory loss
Limb weakness with spared cranial nerves
Suspected when failure of weaning from MV despite improvement of
underlying critical illness
21. Pathology axonal degeneration
Cause is not well understood
Inflammatory mediators thought to play a role
Preventable aspects
Unnecessary and prolonged NM blockade
Prolonged or high dose glucocorticoids
Excessive propofol use
Electrolyte abnormalities, glycemic control
22. Hematologic dysfunction
DIC or Thrombohemorrhagic disorders
Most fulminant hematologic dysfunction in MOF
results from a massive activation of the clotting cascade
Activation of hemostasis leading to formation of thrombin
Compensatory thrombolysis( secondary fibrolysis)
Degrade fibrinogen and other clotting factors, causing consumption
coagulopathy, exacerbating the bleeding diathesis
23. Thrombocytopenia
the most common hematologic abnormality critical illness
-in 20% 0f all ICU pts
-causes
.↑sed consumption
.impaired thrombopoiesis from BM suppression
Others
Mild anemia
Leucopenia from overwhelming inflammatory stimulus
24. Laboratory examinations
No specific test for MODs
Abnormalities in the following tests are commonly seen
Acid-base: d anion gap ….associated with increased mortality
CBC: normocytic anemia, high or low WBC, thrombocytopenia
LFTs insensitive to diagnose early liver dysfunction in MODs
Serum albumin: in MODs hypoalbuminemia results from cytokine induced
suppression of synthesis, albumin catabolism, dilutional and 3rd space losses.
Adverse px but poor sensitivity and specificity
Procalcitonin: plasma marker of sepsis. Septic vs nonseptic, not specific
25. Hemodynamic monitors of tissue
perfusion
Global
SvO2/ ScvO2>70%
Esophageal Doppler probe…measure CO during resuscitation after
trauma
Regional perfusion
Gastric tonometry PHi and PCO2
Siblingual capnometry
26. Modifiable

Age of transfused products
High base deficit
Uncorrected lactate at 12-
24hrs post injury
Abdominal compartment
syndrome
Missed injury
Non modifiable
High injury severity
Age >55years old
Obesity
Male gender
Genetics
Comorbidities
Predictors of MOF
27. Biomarker Disease conditions Role
Neutrophil gelatinase-
Lipocalin (NGAL)
acute kidney injury Detects 36-48hrs earlier
than creatinine
Serum glutamate/glutamine Sepsis Marks liver dysfunction
Cytokeratin-18 (CK-18) Sepsis with hepatic dysfunction Early predictor of survival
Procalcitonin (PCT) Sepsis and infection Early marker
Adrenomedullin (AM) Acute cardiac injury Elevated in early septic
shock
Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) Acute lung and heart injury Correlate with severity
NT-pro-BNP severe sepsis and septic shock Marks myocardial
dysfunction
VCAM-1(vascular cell adhesion
molecule 1)
Mediates adhesion of cells to
endothelium
Cytokines (interleukine; IL) 6 Myocardial disfunction Predictor of mortality
Endothelial cell-specific
molecule 1
(ESM-1
sepsis Endocan increase indicate
poor prognosis
28. Scoring of MOF
No gold standard system
Most organ failure assessment systems assign values to six organ systems
Respiratory
Cardiovascular
Renal
Hematology,
Hepatic
Central nervous system
Sauaia et al. reported Denver and Marshall MODS perform well as
indicators of unfavorable outcomes in critically ill patients
29. Marshall MOF scores
Evaluate 6 systems each scored 0-4
Parameters recorded at same time of day always
Does not consider specific values as indicators of MOF
Establishes degree of severity defined by observed mortality
30. Denver scale evaluates
4 systems each scored 0-3
OF defined as score>0 , MOF is defined as failure of 2 or more organs with
score of 4 or more as determined 48hrs after trauma
Ciesla et al, The role of the lung in postinjury multiple organ failure Surgery 01-OCT-2005;
138(4): 749-57
31. Management principles
Early aggressive resuscitation and physiologic monitoring
Avoid additional insults and control sources
Prevent nosocomial infection
Supportive therapy for dysfunctional organ
Glycemic control and early enteral nutrition
Prophylaxis: DVT , Stress ulcer
Minimize blood transfusion when possible
