(females)
8
Stats
 MVAs responsible for 75% of all blunt abdominal trauma
 Multi-organ & multi-system injury
 Solid organ injury >> Hollow viscus injury
 Spleen (40-55%) > Liver (35-45%) > Small bowel (5-10%)
 Retroperitoneal hematoma (15% laparotomies)
9
Mechanism of injury
 CRUSHING
Direct application of a blunt force to the abdomen
 SHEARING
Sudden decelerations apply a shearing force across organs with
fixed attachments
 BURSTING
Raised intraluminal pressure by abdominal compression in hollow
organs can lead to rupture
 PENETRATION
Disruption of bony areas by blunt trauma may generate bony
spicules that can cause secondary penetrating injury
10
Injuries from restraint devices 11
Standard initial protocol
 Spinal stabilization
 Maintenance of ABC
 IV access (double) and IV fluids
 Draw and send blood for investigations, blood grouping
 NG tube insertion
 Urinary catheterization
12
History
 Mode of injury (MVA/ direct blow/ fall from height)
 Type of veh & speed
 Type of collision (frontal/ lateral/ side/ rear/ rollover)
 Response to pre-hospital treatment (by trauma care
personnel)
 Explosion – visceral overpressure injuries (more in closed
spaces and less distance of patient from explosion)
13
Physical Examination:
Inspection
 Fully unclothe the patient
 Whole body thorough inspection
 abrasions, contusions from restraint devices, lacerations,
penetrating wounds, impaled foreign bodies, evisceration of
omentum or small bowel, and the pregnant state
 Flank, scrotum & perianal area – blood @ meatus, swelling,
bruising, laceration of perineum, vagina, rectum or buttocks
(s/o open pelvic #)
14
The classical
‘seatbelt’ sign.
The bruising on the
left breast is from
the shoulder belt
and the low
bruising to the
abdominal wall is
from the lap belt.
15
Physical Examination:
Palpation & Percussion
 Tenderness (Superficial/ deep)
 Rebound tenderness
 Guarding (Voluntary/ involuntary), rigidity
 Dullness/ shifting dullness – intraabdominal
collection
16
Physical Examination:
Auscultation
 Difficult in a noisy room
 Bowel Sounds +/-
 Reliable only when initially present and change later
 Absence of bowel sounds – non-specific
17
Pelvic Stability Testing
 Pelvic hemorrhage occurs rapidly - Unexplained hypotension
 Compression-distraction maneuver
 Perform only once; may result in further hemorrhage
 Ruptured urethra (high riding prostate, scrotal hematoma, blood
@ meatus)
 Limb lengthening discrepancy
 Rotational leg deformity without e/o fracture
18
Others
 Vaginal examination
 In presence of complex perineal lacerations/ pelvic # or trans-pelvic
GSW
 Vaginal laceration may be seen due to pelvic # or penetrating
wounds
 Gluteal examination
 From iliac crest to gluteal folds
 Penetrating injuries – rectal injuries below peritoneal reflection
 GSWs & stab wounds – associated with intra-abdominal injuries
19
Others
 NG tube
 Relieve acute gastric dilatation
 Decompress stomach before a DPL
 Remove gastric contents
 Blood in NG  Esophageal/ upper GIT injury (after excluding naso/
oro-pharyngeal sources)
 Urinary catheter (or SPC)
 Relieve retention
 Decompress bladder before DPL
 Monitor UO as indicator of tissue perfusion
 Gross hematuria  trauma to genitourinary tract & non renal
intraabdominal organs
20
INVESTIGATIONS –
Aim
To identify To decide When
(those with injury) (which ones (how quickly
need laparotomy) this must be
undertaken)
DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGY
DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGY
cont..
 Complete hemogram with hematocrit
 ABG, Electrocardiogram
 Renal function tests
 Urine analysis –
+nce of hematuria – genitourinary injury
-nce of hematuria – does not rule out it
 Serum amylase / lipase or liver enzymes - se -suspicion of
intraabdominal injuries
Imaging studies
 Abdominal X-ray
 FAST
 DPL
 CT Scan
 Contrast studies
23
Abdominal X-ray
 Pneumoperitoneum – hollow viscus perforation
 Ground glass appearance – massive haemoperitoneum
 Dilated gut loops- retroperitoneal hematoma/ injury
 Retroperitoneal air outlining the right kidney – duodenal injury
 Double wall sign – air inside and outside the bowel
 Distortion or enlargement of outlines of viscera – hematoma in
relation to respective organs
24
Abdominal X-ray
 Medial displacement of stomach – splenic hematoma
 Obliteration of Psoas shadow – retroperitoneal bleeding
 Pelvic bone fracture – bladder/urethral/rectal injury
 Fracture vertebra – ureter injury / retroperitoneal hematoma
25
Chest X-ray
 Pneumothorax/haemothorax
 Raised left/right hemidiaphragm – perisplenic/hepatic hematoma
 Lower ribs fracture – liver/spleen injury
 Abdominal contents in the chest – ruptured hemidiaphragm
26
Indications for investigating
further
 Unexplained hemorrhagic shock
 Major chest or pelvic injuries
 Abdominal tenderness
 Diminished pain response due to
 Intoxication
 Depressed level of consciousness
 Distracting pain
 Paralysis
 Inability to perform serial examination
27
FAST
 Focused Assessment Sonography in Trauma
 Rapid, accurate, non invasive, inexpensive study
 Operator dependant
 Views
 Pericardial view (Subxiphoid/ parasternal view)
 RUQ view - diaphragm-liver interface and Morrison’s pouch
(Sagittal view in MAL in 10th or 11th ICS)
 LUQ view - diaphragm-spleen interface and spleen-kidney
interface (Sagittal view in MAL in 8h or 9th ICS)
 Suprapubic view (Transverse; before inserting foley’s)
28
FAST
 Low frequency (3.5 MHz) transducer; allows depth of
penetration necessary to obtain appropriate images
 ± Second scan 30 min after initial scan - progression
 Negative FAST doesn’t rule out intra-abdominal
injury
 Difficult in subcutaneous emphysema, obese and
previously operated pts
 Absolute indication for a laparotomy =
contraindication for FAST
 Pelvic # may decrease the accuracy
29
DPL
 Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage
 Rapid, invasive, 98% sensitive for intraperitoneal bleed
 Indications
 Patients with spinal cord injury
 Those with multiple injuries and unexplained shock
 Obtunded patients with a possible abdominal injury
 Intoxicated patients in whom abdominal injury is
suspected
 Patients with potential intraabdominal injury who will
undergo prolonged anesthesia for another
procedure
30
DPL
 Open, semi-open or closed method
 Gross blood aspirated – go for Laparotomy
 No gross blood – instill 1 lit of warm NS (child –
10ml/kg) – gently agitate the abdomen
 Adequate fluid return is > 20% of infused volume
 Negative lavage doesn’t exclude retroperitoneal
injuries e.g. pancreatic or duodenal injuries
31
32
DPL
 Absolute contraindication = obvious need for
laparotomy
 Relative contraindications
 Pregnancy
 Morbid obesity
 H/o multiple abdominal surgeries
 Positive if
 10 ml grossly bloody aspirate before infusing lavage fluid
 >100,000/μL RBCs; >500 /μL WBCs; Only 30mL blood
reqd to produce microscopically positive DPL result
 ↑ amylase, bile, bacteria, vegetable matter or urine +
33
DPL
 Hemorrhage (false positive results)
 secondary to injection of local anesthetic
 Incision of the skin or subcutaneous tissues
 Peritonitis due to intestinal perforation from the
catheter
 Laceration of urinary bladder (if bladder full)
 Injury to other abdominal and retroperitoneal
structures requiring operative care
 Wound infection at the lavage site (late complication)
34
Abdominal CT Scan
 Hemodynamically stable patient
 Not in emergent need of laparotomy
 ± Contrast administration (non-ionic contrast)
 Organ injury & extent
 Retroperitoneal/ pelvic organ injuries
 Can miss some GI, diaphragmatic and pancreatic
injuries
 Free fluid with no hepatic/ splenic injury  suspect GI
or mesenteric trauma
35
DPL Vs FAST Vs CT 36
Contrast studies
 Urethrography
 Cystography
 IVP
 GI Contrast studies
37
The big question:
Which patients need Laparotomy ?
38
Small answer
 Blunt abdominal trauma with hypotension with a
positive FAST or clinical evidence of intraperitoneal
bleeding
 Blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma with a positive
DPL
 Hypotension with a penetrating abdominal wound
 Gunshot wounds traversing the peritoneal cavity or
visceral/vascular retroperitoneum
39
Small answer
 Bleeding from the stomach, rectum, or genitourinary
tract from penetrating trauma
 Peritonitis
 Free air, retroperitoneal air, or rupture of the
hemidiaphragm
 CECT findings of ruptured GIT, intraperitoneal bladder
injury, renal pedicle injury, or severe visceral
parenchymal injury after blunt or penetrating trauma
40
LAPAROTOMY
 Generous midline incision
 Transverse incision in children < 6 yrs
 Scalpel better than cautery.
 Forget the bleeding from incision till definite source of bleed
found
 Remove blood and blood clots with abdominal swabs
 Palpate spleen and liver first and pack if fractured
 Source localized  direct digital occlusion (vascular injury)
or pad packing (solid organ injury)
 Liver bleed – hepatic pedicle clamping with vascular clamp
(Pringle maneuver)
41
Liver bleed control 42
LAPAROTOMY
 Splenic bleed – clamp splenic hilum (better than packing
alone)
 Rotate spleen medially
 Incise lateral peritoneum & endoabdominal fascia
 Spleen and pancreas can be dissected from retroperitoneum
as a composite , ant to Gerota’s fascia
43
Splenic mobilization 44
MANAGEMENT OF
SPECIFIC INJURIES
45
Liver trauma 46
Liver trauma 47
 Primary aim is to arrest bleeding
 Perihepatic packing is effective most of the times, if
not then perform Pringle maneuver
 Difficult to perform perihepatic packing in Lt lobe 
Mobilize it and compress between surgeon’s hands
 Pringle maneuver
 Bleeding stopped => from AHA / PV
 Doesn’t stop => HVs and retrohepatic IVC is the source 
Packing  Failed  direct vascular repair ± hepatic vascular
isolation
 Repair the Hepatic artery proper
 Cholecystectomy if Rt hepatic artery is ligated
Liver trauma 48
 Minor lacerations
 Manual compression
 Topical hemostats (cautery, argon beam coagulator,
gelfoam, fibrin glue, collagen)
 Shallow lacerations  running suture
 Deep lacerations
 Interrupted Hz mattress parallel to edge of laceration
 Omentum to fill large defects (obliterates dead space;
source of macrophages)
 Deep recalcitrant hemorrhage  hepatic lobar arterial
ligation
Liver trauma 49
 Repeat laparotomy within 24 hrs for pack removal
 Ongoing hemorrhage – early exploration (<24h h)
 Complex injuries – angioembolization
 Complex injuries – typical ‘liver fever’ upto 5 days post
injury
 Non-anatomical resection – stable without coagulopathy
 GB injury  cholecystectomy
 EHBD Transaction  Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy
 Till then intubate the duct for external drainage
 Complications – hemorrhage, hepatic necrosis, bilomas,
arterial pseudoaneurysms and biliary fistulas
Liver trauma - NOM 50
 Basis
 50-80% of liver bleed stops spontaneously
 Better results of NOM in children
 Significant development of CT scan in liver imaging
 Initially introduced for minor injuries (1972)
 Presently being used for grades III – V also
 Selection criteria
 Hemodynamic stability after initial resuscitation
 No other visceral/ retroperitoneal injuries needing surg
 Multidisciplinary team – Experienced surgeon,
Intensivist, CT scan, 24x7 OT facilities
Liver trauma - NOM 51
 Failure rate significantly higher in Gd IV & V than Gd I-
III
 Most common reason for intervention – co-existing
abdo injury (e.g. bleed form spleen or kidney)
 Predictors of NOM failure
 Advanced age
 Anaemia & HTN
 Active extravasation on CT
 Massive blood transfusion
 CT follow up for Gd I & II not necessary
 Others need clinical and CT follow up
Splenic trauma 52

 Surgery (Splenectomy/ partial splenectomy/ splenorrhaphy)
 Depending upon
 Hemodynamic status of pt
 Grade of injury
 Presence of other injuries
 Medical co-morbidities
 Upto 20% patients require early splenectomy
 Delayed hemorrhage/ rupture can occur weeks after injury
Splenic trauma 54
 Splenectomy (with auto-transplantation)
 Hilar injuries
 Pulverized splenic parenchyma
 GD III and above + coagulopathy/ multiple injuries
 Partial splenectomy – isolated polar injuries
 Splenorrhaphy – cautery, argon beam coagulator,
gelfoam, fibrin glue, collagen, envelopment in absorbable
mesh, pledgeted suture repair
 Bleeding edges – Hz mattress sutures + parenchymal
compression
Splenic Auto-transplantation 55
Splenic Bleeding Edges 56
Splenic trauma 57
 Post splenectomy hemorrhage
 Loosening of tie around splenic vessels
 Improperly ligated/ missed short gastric artery
 Recurrent splenic bleed
 Post-op complications
 Subphrenic abscess (pigtail drainage)
 Pancreatic tail injury (Iatrogenic)
 Gastric perforation (during short gastric ligation)
 OPSI
Splenic trauma - NOM 58
 Basis
 Salvaging functional splenic tissue – avoids surgical &
anesthetic complications
 No risk of post-splenectomy abscess
 Indications
 Hemodynamically stable patients (Gd I - III)
 No other intra-abdominal injuries needing laparotomy
 Active contrast extravasation/ blush on CT
 > 70 % patients still undergo splenectomy after NOM

 6 hrly Hb check in first 24h
 Allowed orally if Hb stable & no surg intervention likely
 Follow-up CT: Falling Hb, abdo pain, fever, Lt shoulder
pain
 Duration based on
 Gd of splenic injury
 Nature & severity of other injuries
 Clinical Status (Incl peritoneal signs – missed hollow viscus
injury & Hb levels)
 Embolization – 73-97% success rate
Stomach & Small Intestine 60
 Gastric Wounds – running single layer suture (full
thickness bites)/ stapler
 Partial gastrectomy – for destructive injuries
 Small intestine injury < 1/3rd of bowel circumference 
transverse running 3-0 PDS
 Multiple injuries/ mesenteric injuries – segmental
resection and anastomosis/ stoma
 Post-op ileus is obligatory
 No enteral feeds for atleast 48 hrs
 TEN to be started at 20mL/h once resuscitation is
complete
Duodenum 61
 Duodenal hematoma – NG aspiration & parenteral
nutrition
 Small duodenal perforation/ laceration – primary single
layer repair
 1st part injuries – debridement & end-to end anastomosis
with gastric antrum/ pylorus
 2nd part injuries – patch with vascularized jejunal graft
 3rd & 4th part injuries – resection and anastomosis on Lt
side of Superior mesenteric vessels
 Pyloric exclusion – high risk, complex duodenal repairs
Pancreas 62
 Management depends on location of injury to
 Parenchyma
 Intrapancreatic CBD
 MPD
 Contusion (ductal system intact)/ proximal pancreatic
injuries (to Rt of SM vessels)
 Non operative/ closed suction drain
 Distal duct disruption (body & tail) – distal
pancreatectomy with splenic preservation

Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy
Colon & Rectum 63
 3 methods for colonic injuries
 Primary repair
 End colostomy
 Primary repair with diverting colostomy
 Weigh the risk of primary repair Vs colostomy
 Lt colon injuries - Temporary colostomy
 Other high risk pts - Diverting ileostomy with colocolostomy
 Rectal injuries – loop ileostomy/ sigmoid loop colostomy
 Accessible rectal injury – attempt primary repair with diversion
 Extensive rectal injury – End colostomy (Hartmann’s)
 Complications: Intra-abdo abscess, fecal fistula, infection,
stomal complications
Genitourinary Tract 64
 90 % Renal injuries managed conservatively
 Hematuria resolves in few days with absolute rest
 Operative intervention – Hypotension due to
 Renovascular injuries
 Destructive parenchymal injuries
 Persistent gross hematuria – embolization
 Urinoma – Percutaneous drainage
 Renal artery repair
 Success rates very low
 Image guided endostent placement can be attempted

 Urethral injuries
 Bridge the defect with Foley’s
 Elective repair for strictures later
Vascular Injuries 68
ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
 Symptomatic organ dysfunction that results from
increased intraabdominal pressure (IAP)
 Increased IAP is an under-recognized source of
morbidity and mortality.
 1-day point-prevalence observational trial conducted in
13 medical ICUs of six countries with 97 patients, 8%
had IAP > 20mmHg.
 The incidence of ACS in trauma patients is estimated to
be between 2 and 9 percent.
ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
 Massive volume resuscitation in the
leading cause of ACS.
 Inflammatory states with capillary leak,
fluid sequestration, inadequate tissue
perfusion, and lactic acidosis can develop
ACS.
 Gastric overdistention following
endoscopy has resulted in ACS.
ETIOLOGY
ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
 The IAP is usually 0 mmHg during spontaneous respiration
 Slightly positive in the patient on mechanical ventilation
 IAP increases in direct relation to body mass index.
 Supine hospitalized patients had a mean baseline value of 6.5
mmHg.
 The compliance of the abdominal wall limits the rise in IAP but
increases rapidly after a critical IAP
 Critical IAP varies from patient to patient, based on abdominal
wall compliance on perfusion gradient
 IAH often defined as IAP > 12mmHg
 Previous pregnancy, cirrhosis, morbid obesity, may increase
abdominal wall compliance and can be protective

ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
 50 mL of sterile saline is instilled into the bladder via
the aspiration port of the Foley catheter with the
drainage tube clamped.
 An 18-gauge needle attached to a pressure transducer
is then inserted in the aspiration port, and the
pressure is measured. The transducer should be
zeroed at the level of the pubic symphysis.
ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
MANAGEMENT
GRADING OF ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
Grade
Pressure
(mmHg)
Management
I 10-15 Maintenance of normovolemia
II 16-25 Volume administration
III 26-35 Decompression
IV >35 Re-exploration
Abdominal Perfusion Pressure (APP): APP = MAP - IAP
In one retrospective study, the inability to maintain an APP
above 50 mmHg predicted mortality with greater sensitivity
and specificity than either IAP or MAP alone .
ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
OPERATIVE DECOMPRESSION
Vacuum-assisted
temporary abdominal
closure device:
Thin plastic sheet, a
sterile towel, closed
suction drains, and a
large adherent
operative drape. This
dressing system
permits increases in
intra-abdominal
volume, without a
dramatic elevation in
IAP.
ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
 ACS is a clinical entity caused by an acute, progressive increase
in IAP.
 Multiple organ systems are affected, usually in a graded fashion.
 The gut is the organ most sensitive to IAH.
 Treatment involves expedient decompression of the abdomen.
 Pt already physiologically compromised  Keep high degree of
suspicion and a low threshold for checking bladder pressures to
prevent the associated mortality

  • 10. Mechanism of injury  CRUSHING Direct application of a blunt force to the abdomen  SHEARING Sudden decelerations apply a shearing force across organs with fixed attachments  BURSTING Raised intraluminal pressure by abdominal compression in hollow organs can lead to rupture  PENETRATION Disruption of bony areas by blunt trauma may generate bony spicules that can cause secondary penetrating injury 10
  • 12. Standard initial protocol  Spinal stabilization  Maintenance of ABC  IV access (double) and IV fluids  Draw and send blood for investigations, blood grouping  NG tube insertion  Urinary catheterization 12
  • 13. History  Mode of injury (MVA/ direct blow/ fall from height)  Type of veh & speed  Type of collision (frontal/ lateral/ side/ rear/ rollover)  Response to pre-hospital treatment (by trauma care personnel)  Explosion – visceral overpressure injuries (more in closed spaces and less distance of patient from explosion) 13

  • 21. INVESTIGATIONS – Aim To identify To decide When (those with injury) (which ones (how quickly need laparotomy) this must be undertaken) DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGY
  • 22. DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGY cont..  Complete hemogram with hematocrit  ABG, Electrocardiogram  Renal function tests  Urine analysis – +nce of hematuria – genitourinary injury -nce of hematuria – does not rule out it  Serum amylase / lipase or liver enzymes - se -suspicion of intraabdominal injuries

  • 24. Abdominal X-ray  Pneumoperitoneum – hollow viscus perforation  Ground glass appearance – massive haemoperitoneum  Dilated gut loops- retroperitoneal hematoma/ injury  Retroperitoneal air outlining the right kidney – duodenal injury  Double wall sign – air inside and outside the bowel  Distortion or enlargement of outlines of viscera – hematoma in relation to respective organs 24
  • 25. Abdominal X-ray  Medial displacement of stomach – splenic hematoma  Obliteration of Psoas shadow – retroperitoneal bleeding  Pelvic bone fracture – bladder/urethral/rectal injury  Fracture vertebra – ureter injury / retroperitoneal hematoma 25

  • 27. Indications for investigating further  Unexplained hemorrhagic shock  Major chest or pelvic injuries  Abdominal tenderness  Diminished pain response due to  Intoxication  Depressed level of consciousness  Distracting pain  Paralysis  Inability to perform serial examination 27
  • 28. FAST  Focused Assessment Sonography in Trauma  Rapid, accurate, non invasive, inexpensive study  Operator dependant  Views  Pericardial view (Subxiphoid/ parasternal view)  RUQ view - diaphragm-liver interface and Morrison’s pouch (Sagittal view in MAL in 10th or 11th ICS)  LUQ view - diaphragm-spleen interface and spleen-kidney interface (Sagittal view in MAL in 8h or 9th ICS)  Suprapubic view (Transverse; before inserting foley’s) 28
  • 29. FAST  Low frequency (3.5 MHz) transducer; allows depth of penetration necessary to obtain appropriate images  ± Second scan 30 min after initial scan - progression  Negative FAST doesn’t rule out intra-abdominal injury  Difficult in subcutaneous emphysema, obese and previously operated pts  Absolute indication for a laparotomy = contraindication for FAST  Pelvic # may decrease the accuracy 29
  • 30. DPL  Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage  Rapid, invasive, 98% sensitive for intraperitoneal bleed  Indications  Patients with spinal cord injury  Those with multiple injuries and unexplained shock  Obtunded patients with a possible abdominal injury  Intoxicated patients in whom abdominal injury is suspected  Patients with potential intraabdominal injury who will undergo prolonged anesthesia for another procedure 30
  • 31. DPL  Open, semi-open or closed method  Gross blood aspirated – go for Laparotomy  No gross blood – instill 1 lit of warm NS (child – 10ml/kg) – gently agitate the abdomen  Adequate fluid return is > 20% of infused volume  Negative lavage doesn’t exclude retroperitoneal injuries e.g. pancreatic or duodenal injuries 31
  • 32. 32
  • 33. DPL  Absolute contraindication = obvious need for laparotomy  Relative contraindications  Pregnancy  Morbid obesity  H/o multiple abdominal surgeries  Positive if  10 ml grossly bloody aspirate before infusing lavage fluid  >100,000/μL RBCs; >500 /μL WBCs; Only 30mL blood reqd to produce microscopically positive DPL result  ↑ amylase, bile, bacteria, vegetable matter or urine + 33
  • 34. DPL  Hemorrhage (false positive results)  secondary to injection of local anesthetic  Incision of the skin or subcutaneous tissues  Peritonitis due to intestinal perforation from the catheter  Laceration of urinary bladder (if bladder full)  Injury to other abdominal and retroperitoneal structures requiring operative care  Wound infection at the lavage site (late complication) 34
  • 35. Abdominal CT Scan  Hemodynamically stable patient  Not in emergent need of laparotomy  ± Contrast administration (non-ionic contrast)  Organ injury & extent  Retroperitoneal/ pelvic organ injuries  Can miss some GI, diaphragmatic and pancreatic injuries  Free fluid with no hepatic/ splenic injury  suspect GI or mesenteric trauma 35
  • 36. DPL Vs FAST Vs CT 36
  • 37. Contrast studies  Urethrography  Cystography  IVP  GI Contrast studies 37
  • 38. The big question: Which patients need Laparotomy ? 38
  • 39. Small answer  Blunt abdominal trauma with hypotension with a positive FAST or clinical evidence of intraperitoneal bleeding  Blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma with a positive DPL  Hypotension with a penetrating abdominal wound  Gunshot wounds traversing the peritoneal cavity or visceral/vascular retroperitoneum 39
  • 40. Small answer  Bleeding from the stomach, rectum, or genitourinary tract from penetrating trauma  Peritonitis  Free air, retroperitoneal air, or rupture of the hemidiaphragm  CECT findings of ruptured GIT, intraperitoneal bladder injury, renal pedicle injury, or severe visceral parenchymal injury after blunt or penetrating trauma 40
  • 41. LAPAROTOMY  Generous midline incision  Transverse incision in children < 6 yrs  Scalpel better than cautery.  Forget the bleeding from incision till definite source of bleed found  Remove blood and blood clots with abdominal swabs  Palpate spleen and liver first and pack if fractured  Source localized  direct digital occlusion (vascular injury) or pad packing (solid organ injury)  Liver bleed – hepatic pedicle clamping with vascular clamp (Pringle maneuver) 41
  • 43. LAPAROTOMY  Splenic bleed – clamp splenic hilum (better than packing alone)  Rotate spleen medially  Incise lateral peritoneum & endoabdominal fascia  Spleen and pancreas can be dissected from retroperitoneum as a composite , ant to Gerota’s fascia 43
  • 47. Liver trauma 47  Primary aim is to arrest bleeding  Perihepatic packing is effective most of the times, if not then perform Pringle maneuver  Difficult to perform perihepatic packing in Lt lobe  Mobilize it and compress between surgeon’s hands  Pringle maneuver  Bleeding stopped => from AHA / PV  Doesn’t stop => HVs and retrohepatic IVC is the source  Packing  Failed  direct vascular repair ± hepatic vascular isolation  Repair the Hepatic artery proper  Cholecystectomy if Rt hepatic artery is ligated
  • 48. Liver trauma 48  Minor lacerations  Manual compression  Topical hemostats (cautery, argon beam coagulator, gelfoam, fibrin glue, collagen)  Shallow lacerations  running suture  Deep lacerations  Interrupted Hz mattress parallel to edge of laceration  Omentum to fill large defects (obliterates dead space; source of macrophages)  Deep recalcitrant hemorrhage  hepatic lobar arterial ligation
  • 49. Liver trauma 49  Repeat laparotomy within 24 hrs for pack removal  Ongoing hemorrhage – early exploration (<24h h)  Complex injuries – angioembolization  Complex injuries – typical ‘liver fever’ upto 5 days post injury  Non-anatomical resection – stable without coagulopathy  GB injury  cholecystectomy  EHBD Transaction  Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy  Till then intubate the duct for external drainage  Complications – hemorrhage, hepatic necrosis, bilomas, arterial pseudoaneurysms and biliary fistulas
  • 50. Liver trauma - NOM 50  Basis  50-80% of liver bleed stops spontaneously  Better results of NOM in children  Significant development of CT scan in liver imaging  Initially introduced for minor injuries (1972)  Presently being used for grades III – V also  Selection criteria  Hemodynamic stability after initial resuscitation  No other visceral/ retroperitoneal injuries needing surg  Multidisciplinary team – Experienced surgeon, Intensivist, CT scan, 24x7 OT facilities
  • 51. Liver trauma - NOM 51  Failure rate significantly higher in Gd IV & V than Gd I- III  Most common reason for intervention – co-existing abdo injury (e.g. bleed form spleen or kidney)  Predictors of NOM failure  Advanced age  Anaemia & HTN  Active extravasation on CT  Massive blood transfusion  CT follow up for Gd I & II not necessary  Others need clinical and CT follow up
  • 53. Splenic trauma 53  Management options  Observation  Angiographic Embolization (Gd I-III; age < 55y)  Surgery (Splenectomy/ partial splenectomy/ splenorrhaphy)  Depending upon  Hemodynamic status of pt  Grade of injury  Presence of other injuries  Medical co-morbidities  Upto 20% patients require early splenectomy  Delayed hemorrhage/ rupture can occur weeks after injury
  • 54. Splenic trauma 54  Splenectomy (with auto-transplantation)  Hilar injuries  Pulverized splenic parenchyma  GD III and above + coagulopathy/ multiple injuries  Partial splenectomy – isolated polar injuries  Splenorrhaphy – cautery, argon beam coagulator, gelfoam, fibrin glue, collagen, envelopment in absorbable mesh, pledgeted suture repair  Bleeding edges – Hz mattress sutures + parenchymal compression
  • 57. Splenic trauma 57  Post splenectomy hemorrhage  Loosening of tie around splenic vessels  Improperly ligated/ missed short gastric artery  Recurrent splenic bleed  Post-op complications  Subphrenic abscess (pigtail drainage)  Pancreatic tail injury (Iatrogenic)  Gastric perforation (during short gastric ligation)  OPSI
  • 58.

Colon & Rectum 63  3 methods for colonic injuries  Primary repair  End colostomy  Primary repair with diverting colostomy  Weigh the risk of primary repair Vs colostomy  Lt colon injuries - Temporary colostomy  Other high risk pts - Diverting ileostomy with colocolostomy  Rectal injuries – loop ileostomy/ sigmoid loop colostomy  Accessible rectal injury – attempt primary repair with diversion  Extensive rectal injury – End colostomy (Hartmann’s)  Complications: Intra-abdo abscess, fecal fistula, infection, stomal complications
  • 64. Genitourinary Tract 64  90 % Renal injuries managed conservatively  Hematuria resolves in few days with absolute rest  Operative intervention – Hypotension due to  Renovascular injuries  Destructive parenchymal injuries  Persistent gross hematuria – embolization  Urinoma – Percutaneous drainage  Renal artery repair  Success rates very low  Image guided endostent placement can be attempted
  • 65. Genitourinary Tract 65  Renorrhaphy  Take vascular control for proper visualization  Preserve renal capsule  Collecting system is closed separately with absorbable sutures  Preserved capsule is closed over collecting system repair  Ureter injuries  Primary repair with renal mobilization for tension relief  Reimplantation (with psoas hitch) for distal ureter injuries  Damage control – B/L ligation + Nephrostomy
  • 67. Genitourinary Tract 67  Bladder injuries  Intraperitoneal injuries  Running, single layer 3-0 absorbable monofilament suture  Lap repair – if other injuries not needing repair  Extraperitoneal injuries  NOM with bladder decompression for 2 wks  Urethral injuries  Bridge the defect with Foley’s  Elective repair for strictures later
  • 69. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME  Symptomatic organ dysfunction that results from increased intraabdominal pressure (IAP)  Increased IAP is an under-recognized source of morbidity and mortality.  1-day point-prevalence observational trial conducted in 13 medical ICUs of six countries with 97 patients, 8% had IAP > 20mmHg.  The incidence of ACS in trauma patients is estimated to be between 2 and 9 percent.
  • 70. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME  Massive volume resuscitation in the leading cause of ACS.  Inflammatory states with capillary leak, fluid sequestration, inadequate tissue perfusion, and lactic acidosis can develop ACS.  Gastric overdistention following endoscopy has resulted in ACS. ETIOLOGY
  • 71. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME  The IAP is usually 0 mmHg during spontaneous respiration  Slightly positive in the patient on mechanical ventilation  IAP increases in direct relation to body mass index.  Supine hospitalized patients had a mean baseline value of 6.5 mmHg.  The compliance of the abdominal wall limits the rise in IAP but increases rapidly after a critical IAP  Critical IAP varies from patient to patient, based on abdominal wall compliance on perfusion gradient  IAH often defined as IAP > 12mmHg  Previous pregnancy, cirrhosis, morbid obesity, may increase abdominal wall compliance and can be protective PATHOPHYSIOLOG Y

  • 73. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME  50 mL of sterile saline is instilled into the bladder via the aspiration port of the Foley catheter with the drainage tube clamped.  An 18-gauge needle attached to a pressure transducer is then inserted in the aspiration port, and the pressure is measured. The transducer should be zeroed at the level of the pubic symphysis.
  • 74. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME MANAGEMENT GRADING OF ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME Grade Pressure (mmHg) Management I 10-15 Maintenance of normovolemia II 16-25 Volume administration III 26-35 Decompression IV >35 Re-exploration Abdominal Perfusion Pressure (APP): APP = MAP - IAP In one retrospective study, the inability to maintain an APP above 50 mmHg predicted mortality with greater sensitivity and specificity than either IAP or MAP alone .
  • 75. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME OPERATIVE DECOMPRESSION Vacuum-assisted temporary abdominal closure device: Thin plastic sheet, a sterile towel, closed suction drains, and a large adherent operative drape. This dressing system permits increases in intra-abdominal volume, without a dramatic elevation in IAP.
  • 76. ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME  ACS is a clinical entity caused by an acute, progressive increase in IAP.  Multiple organ systems are affected, usually in a graded fashion.  The gut is the organ most sensitive to IAH.  Treatment involves expedient decompression of the abdomen.  Pt already physiologically compromised  Keep high degree of suspicion and a low threshold for checking bladder pressures to prevent the associated mortality SUMMARY
