Background: Blunt abdominal trauma is a common scenario in Emergency department and the common cause being road traffic accidents. With this study we present our experience with blunt trauma of abdominal solid organ injuries over a period of 12 months.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 45 blunt trauma of abdominal solid organ injuries who presented to the emergency room of Department of General Surgery of Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore from 1st January 17 to 31st December 2017.All date were retrieved from medical records and statistical analysis was performed using Epi info version 7.Results: Mean age of study population was 31.46 years. 78.2% of the patients were males. Thirty-three (73.3%) patients undergone non-operative management. Splenic injury was reported as the most common abdominal solid organ injury followed by liver.Conclusions: With the advent of newer investigative modalities like contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) abdomen, more and more cases of blunt trauma abdominal solid organ injury can be managed non-operatively with effective ICU care. High-grade injuries do not preclude non-operative management.

A short cut review was carried out to establish whether chemical thromboprophylaxis was a safe early intervention in patients with solid organ injury that is being managed non-operatively. Eight papers presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. It is concluded that there is inadequate evidence assessing safety of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) within 24 hours of trauma. The current available evidence does suggest that administration of LMWH within 48 hours is safe in non-operative management of patients who have sustained solid organ injury from blunt trauma.

Background: The present study of role of non-operative management in blunt abdominal trauma with solid organ injury was done to assess the feasibility and safety of non-operative management in hemodynamically stable patients and identify the causes, predictive factors to delineate the rate of non-operative management failure.Methods: A longitudinal observational study was carried out from September 2013 to November 2015. All cases of blunt trauma abdomen with ultrasonological e/o solid organ injury and were hemodynamically stable were included in study.Results: Total 138 cases presented with a history of blunt trauma abdomen of which 56 cases had ultrasonological evidence of solid organ injury. 8 cases were excluded as 6 of these were hemodynamically unstable at presentation while 1 had bowel perforation and another had severe head injury all requiring operative management. Maximum cases were of age group 21-30 years (41.66%) and 31-40 years (31.25%). 42 (87.5%) cases were male and 6 (12.5%) cases of 48 were females.  28 (66.67%) cases presented as Road Traffic Accident. 28 (66.67%) cases had abdominal pain as the commonest symptom while tenderness in 38 (79.17%) cases and tachycardia in 30 (75%) cases was the predominant sign. Most injuries were seen in spleen 23 (47.92%) cases f/b Liver with 14 (29.12%). Conservative management was successful in 40 (83.33%) cases and failed in 8 (16.67%) cases. Mortality of the study was 1 (2.08%) case.Conclusions: Non-operative strategy is a successful approach in patients who are hemodynamically stable and authors strongly recommend it.

Abstract Aim to Assess the feasibility and safety of selective non-operative management in penetrating abdominal injuries and to identify a protocol for selection of patient’s candidates for non-operative management. Method In this comparative study 40 abdominal stab victims (admitted to Emergency Department of Alexandria Main University Hospital) were selected during 6 months period where 20 patients were suitable for non-operative management according to strict selection criteria whereas the other 20 patients were operated according to clinical and/or radiological indications or on basis of department protocol, the results were compared in view of final outcome. Results In our study, 15 patients were assigned for operative management according to selected clinical and/or radiological indications only 3 of them (20%) had non-therapeutic laparotomies, On the other hand, five patients were explored on basis of department protocol in violation of our indications for exploration; four of them (80%) were non-therapeutic. So, the rate of non-therapeutic laparotomies was significantly higher when done mandatory without selected clinical and radiological indications. Conclusions Assessment of vital signs together with abdominal examination are the most important and dependable tools in decision making in penetrating abdominal trauma patients. Patients with shock on admission (but responding to resuscitation), proved low grade solid organ injury (by CT), and proved intraperitoneal collection (by US or CT) could be managed conservatively regarding that they remain vitally and clinically stable. If failure of conservation occurs, it is usually during the 1st 24 hours after admission.
