The files of patients with acute cholecystitis from two large university hospitals from the years 1978–1985 were employed to find the cases with acute gallbladder perforation for this study. Only those patients (n=9) were selected for the analysis of sonographic signs of acute gallbladder perforation who had less than 48 hours of symptoms before sonography, and were operated upon within 24 hours of the sonography. Patients (n=10) with non-complicated acute cholecystitis and identical in regard to the duration of the symptoms and the timing of the sonography and the operation formed a control group. The sonographic findings in patients with gallbladder perforation were pericholecystic fluid collections, free peritoneal fluid, disappearance of the gallbladder wall echoes, focal highly echogenic areas with acoustic shadows in the gallbladder, and an inhomogeneous, generally echo-poor gallbladder wall.

Free Peritoneal Fluid

Trauma surgeons are confronted nowadays with various abdominal injuries, with a more and more increased severity, secondary to urban violence and traffic related accidents. We aim to better define the prognostic value of post-traumatic hemoperitoneum (PTH) in the nowadays era of nonoperative management of abdominal lesions, and to correlate it with the current pattern of traumatic injuries. Retrospective study of patients admitted during 24 months. Selections criteria: (1) Traumatic injury; (2) Free peritoneal fluid on preoperative imaging; (3) Surgical exploration of the abdomen. Setting: A level I trauma center. Results: There were 64 patients, with two peak frequencies between 18-35 and 50-70 years old. Abdominal wall ecchymoses were found in 36 (55%) of cases. Out of 64 cases 37 (58.7%) were transportation related, 12 (19%) caused by human aggression and 10 (16.9%) by falls. According to the Trauma Score (TS) there were 50 (78.2%) cases with TS between 14-16, 9 (17.2%) between 10 –13 and 3 (4.8%) with TS <9. More frequent extraabdominal associated lesions were: head injuries – 38 (58.5%), thoracic trauma – 34 (52.3%), orthopedic injuries – 24 (36.9%). Diagnostic peritoneal lavage was performed in 5 (7.8%) cases. FAST has a sensibility of 70.21% and CT scan a sensibility of 100%. Most frequent injured abdominal organs were the spleen – 36 (56.25%), liver 17 (26.56%) and mesentery 14 (21.87%). Laparotomy was performed in 59 (92.2%) of cases, laparoscopy in 2 (3.1%) of cases and conversion to open surgery in 3 (4.7%) cases. Mortality was 23.43%. We observed several predictive factors for mortality on univariate analysis: haemoglobin < 8g/dl (p=0.02), haematocrits < 25% (p=0.01), hemoperitoneum > 1500 ml (p=0.04), colonic trauma (p=0.001), head (p=0.01) and thoracic injuries (p=0.04). Dedicated trauma surgeons should balance between trauma kinetics details, patients’ clinical examination, and diagnostic workup, in an effort to decrease morbidity and mortality secondary to missed injuries or unnecessary laparotomies.

Modalities available for the diagnosis of blunt abdominal traumatic (BAT) injuries include focused abdominal sonography for trauma, diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen/pelvis. Hollow viscous and/or mesenteric injury (HVI/MI) can still be challenging to diagnose. Specifically, there is debate as to the proper management of BAT when CT findings include free peritoneal fluid but no evidence of solid organ injury (SOI). Our objective was to determine the incidence of HVI/MI and to evaluate the management of BAT patients with CT findings of peritoneal fluid without evidence of SOI. An Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective chart review was conducted of all BAT patients with peritoneal fluid on CT admitted to Kern Medical Center from January 1, 2003 to July 31, 2004. A total of 2651 trauma admissions yielded 79 patients. Fourteen of these had no evidence of SOI. Nonoperative management was successful in only 2 of these 14, whereas 12 required an operation, with 11 being therapeutic. Trigger to operate and time from presentation to laparotomy was hypotension in three patients (164 minutes), signs of HVI/MI on CT in two patients (235 minutes), diaphragm injury on CT in one patient (95 minutes), and for peritoneal signs in six patients (508 minutes). In BAT patients with peritoneal fluid on CT without evidence of SOI, there should be a high suspicion of HVI/MI. Relying on increasing abdominal tenderness to trigger laparotomy can result in delayed treatment.
