INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Abdominal injuries are common in patients who sustain major trauma.
Unrecognized abdominal injuries are frequently the cause of preventable death.
Approximately one-fifth of all traumatized pt requiring operative intervention have sustained trauma to the abdomen.

Abdominal traumaAbdominal trauma is an injury to the is an injury to the abdomen. It may be . It may be blunt or or penetrating and may involve damage to the abdominal and may involve damage to the abdominal organs. .

Blunt abdominal trauma is a leading cause of is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all age groups.morbidity and mortality among all age groups.
Blunt trauma: liver …spleen (most common).Blunt trauma: liver …spleen (most common).
Penetrating: liver, small bowel and stomach.liver, small bowel and stomach.

Penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT) (PAT) is usually diagnosed based on clinical signs, blunt abdominal trauma is more likely to be missed because clinical signs are less obvious.
Penetrating trauma is further subdivided into stab wounds and bullet wounds, which have different treatments.
04/18/2304/18/23 77
Multiple injuries, abdominal trauma can
lead to hemorrhage, hypovolemic shock, and death. Yet even a serious, life-threatening abdominal injury may not cause obvious signs
and symptoms, especially in cases of blunt trauma.
04/18/2304/18/23 88
Key responses to decrease mortality and morbidity include :
- aggressive resuscitation efforts, - adequate volume replacement,- early diagnosis of injuries, and- surgical intervention if warranted

Spleen injury is usually associated with blunt trauma. Fractures of ribs 10 to 12 on the left should raise your suspicion of spleen damage,which ranges from laceration of the capsule or a nonexpanding hematoma to ruptured subcapsular hematomas or parenchymal laceration.

Liver injury is common because of the liver’s size and location.Severity ranges from a controlledsubcapsular hematoma and lacerations of the parenchyma to hepatic avulsion or a severe injury of the hepatic veins. (( التمزيقالكبدي

Because liver tissue is very friable and the liver’s blood supply and storage capacity areextensive, a patient with liver injuries can hemorrhage profusely and may need surgery to control the bleeding.

The most common kidney injury is a contusion from blunt trauma; suspect this type of injury if your patient has fractures of the posterior ribs or lumbar vertebrae.

Other renal injuries include lacerationsor contusion of the renalparenchyma caused by shearingand compression forces; the deepera laceration, the more serious the bleeding.
04/18/2304/18/23 3535
Deceleration forces may damage the renal artery; collateral circulation in that area is limited, so any ischemia is serious and maytrigger acute tubular necrosis.
04/18/2304/18/23 3636
Hollow organ injuries, which can occur with blunt or penetrating trauma, most commonlyinvolve the small bowel. Decelerationwith shearing may tear the small bowel, generally in relatively fixed or looped areas

Blunt forces cause most bladder injuries. The bladder rises into the abdominal cavity when full, so it’s more susceptible to injury. If a distended bladder ruptures or is perforated, urine is likely to escape into the abdomen.
04/18/2304/18/23 3838
If the bladder isn’t full when ruptured, urine may leak into the surrounding pelvictissues, vulva, or scrotum.

Genitourinary tract - Perinephric hematomas should be entered only after vascular control has been obtained. Repair of many renal injuries (including partial nephrectomy) is now possible. When nephrectomy is required, it is reassuring to know that the
contra lateral kidney is functioning..04/18/2304/18/23 4040

Diaphragmatic injuries are notoriously difficult to diagnose. Small diaphragmatic injuries on the right side may heal without incident, and the liver protects against potential hernias. Small injuries on the left side may result in symptomatic diaphragmatic hernias. Acute diaphragmatic defects are best approached through the diaphragm. 04/18/2304/18/23 4242

Colon/Rectum - In contrast to military teaching, an increasing number of surgeons utilize primary repair for simple colon injuries without associated shock or significant fecal soilage. Even a small missed colon injury may be lethal

NURSING CARENURSING CARE

As always, your primary priorities are to maintain the patient’s airway, breathing, and circulation. Next, perform a rapid neurologic examination and assess him head to toeto identify obvious injuries and signs of prolonged exposure to heat or cold.
04/18/2304/18/23 4646
Ask the patient (or his family, emergency personnel, or bystanders) about his history—allergies, medications, preexisting medical conditions, when he last ate, and events immediately preceding or related to hisinjury.
04/18/2304/18/23 4747
If your patient sustained blunt trauma, as in a motor vehicle crash (MVC), keep his neck and spine immobilized until X-rays rule out a spinal injury. If his viscera are protruding,cover them with a sterile dressing moistened with 0.9% sodium chloride solution to prevent drying.
04/18/2304/18/23 4848
The following interventionsare routine for a patientwith abdominal trauma:
04/18/2304/18/23 4949
•Insert two large-bore intravenous(I.V.) lines to infuse 0.9% sodiumchloride or lactated Ringer’s solution,according to facility protocol.
04/18/2304/18/23 5050
• Control the patient’s pain without sedating him, so you can continue to assess his injuries and ask him questions. Generally, I.V. analgesics such as morphine can adequately manage pain without sedation.
04/18/2304/18/23 5151
Insert an indwelling urinary catheter, unless you suspect a urinary tract injury. For example, bloody urine or a prostate glandfound to be in a high position duringa rectal exam could indicate damage to the urinary tract
04/18/2304/18/23 5252
If the patient is to have a rectal examination, delay catheter insertion untilafterward
04/18/2304/18/23 5353
• Draw blood specimens stat for baseline lab values.
04/18/2304/18/23 5454
• Insert a gastric tube to decompress the patient’s stomach, prevent aspiration, and minimize leakage of gastric contents and contamination of the abdominal cavity. Thisalso gives you access to gastric contents to test for blood
04/18/2304/18/23 5555
Administer tetanus prophylaxis and antibiotics as ordered.

The FAST option Focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) offers 98% to 100% specificity in blunt abdominal trauma, and is accurate 98% of the time. FAST is especially helpful for pregnant patients or those bleeding from multiple injuries. It’s also useful in identifying pericardialfluid in penetrating trauma.
04/18/2304/18/23 6262
FAST can demonstrate the presenceor absence of pericardial fluid, abdominalfluid, and some parenchymal injuries via a 2- to 3-minute exam. A hand-held transducer is positioned on four key areas to evaluatefluid collection.
04/18/2304/18/23 6363
Unstable patients with penetratingabdominal trauma, such as gunshotwounds, stab wounds, or otherimpalements, usually proceed directlyto the operating department withoutDPL or FAST.
