Blunt abdominal injuries in most cases from a part in the pattern of multiple trauma.

The prehospital management of penetrating injuries is characterized rather by the concept of 'load and go', whereas the onscene stabilization of the patient with blunt abdominal injury should precede transport to the adequate hospital. On arrival in the accident and emergency room an immediate blood transfusion is recommended for hemodynamically unstable patients. If then a stabilization is not achieved, an emergency laparotomy should follow. Abdominal stab injuries should be explored by laparoscopy if an intraperitoneal lesion is suspected. If then the possibility of an intestinal lesion is present a laparotomy should be performed directly thereafter...Continue Reading
