- W2072442022 abstract "Comatose blunt trauma patients undergo diagnostic peritoneal lavage to aid in the management of severe injuries. In deference to routine performance of lavage, patients felt to be at risk for abdominal injury were prospectively stuided by using kselective criteria for lavage. One hundred consecutive comatose blunt trauma patients were studied; five underwent urgent celiotomy for refractory hypotension. Five criteria for lavage were: history of postinjury hypotension, abdominal physical findings suggestive of underlying abdominal injuries, evidence of fracture of the bones of the trunk and/or femur, blunt trauma of unknown etiology, and operative general anesthesia required for nonabdominal injuries. fifty-five patients satisfied at least one of the above criteria and underwent peritoneal lavage. Forty patients not satisfying the criteria were observed without peritoneal lavage, as it was felt they had a decreased probability of serious abdominal injury. One of these patients had a minor liver laceration found at the time of autopsy following his death from severe head injury. None of the other patients had evidence of intra-abdominal injury by autopsy or subsequent clinical course. Utilizing the selective criteria, none of the 100 consecutive blunt trauma patients had major delay in abdominal diagnosis or missed significant abdominal pathology defined by operation, clinical course, or autopsy. Routine peritoneal lavage in all comatose blunt trauma patients may subject the patient to unncessary risk, waste valuable time, increase the cost of care, and alter subseuent diagnostic procedures. Based on this small study, it appears that comatose blunt trauma victims not fulfilling the criteria may be effectively evaluated without the use of peritoneal lavage. The benefits of selective peritoneal lavage must be weighted against the use and safety of its performance, as well as its comparison to other diagnostic procedures." @default.
