Critical Analysis of the Results in the Management of Penetrating Abdominal Trauma in the Past Fifteen Years.

1,000 participantsStarted 2024-03-15

Plain-language summary

Penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT) incidence varies between 3,1-12,8% and it comprises a wide range of injuries with varying patterns on diagnostic imaging. Last guidelines published in 2014 recommend the use of FAST and CXR as the Gold Standard method for evaluating. Computed Tomography (CT) is widely used in stable patients with PAT and it requires intravenous contrast and patient irradiation, leading to additional costs to healthcare services. This study aims to assess the management of PAT in our institution and with its results review the actual protocol.
