腹部闭合性复合伤合并肾损伤86例

闭合性腹部损伤是腹部外科常见的急症，由于致伤原因的不同，一些伤员会有多个器官受伤，成为复合性损伤，部分合并有肾脏损伤，由于肾脏位置、功能以及受伤后表现的一些特殊性，使临床诊断和治疗变得更为复杂。1990年3月～2003年11月间，我们收治合并肾损伤的闭合性腹部复合伤的86例，回顾性分析如下。     

Sonographic acute and follow-up diagnosis after blunt abdominal trauma

Experience with ultrasonographic acute and follow-up diagnostic as noninvasive imaging procedure for blunt abdominal trauma was analysed in a retrospective study. Between 1986 and 1989 166 organ lesions were noticed in 440 patients with clinically regarded diagnosis of a blunt abdominal trauma. 107 patients were laparotomised. Retrospectively, the sensitivity concerning free fluid in the abdominal cavity caused by lesion of an intrabdominal organ was 0.96 and the specifity 0.98. The predictive value of a positive test was 0.91 and the predictive value of a negative test was 0.99. The rate of negative laparotomy was 1.3%. Thus the sole use of ultrasonographic diagnostic and the non-use of peritoneal lavage seems justified in case of blunt abdominal trauma. Some figures illustrate typical cases and our own results.     

Management of sonography in blunt abdominal trauma

A standardized management of sonography in blunt abdominal trauma has replaced peritoneal lavage in our department. The sonographic evaluation is performed simultaneously with additional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the emergency room. The primary goal is the exclusion of intraabdominal bleeding. The management and the results of the diagnostic procedure are presented with reference to a consecutive series of 314 patients with blunt abdominal trauma or polytrauma. In 71 patients, laparotomy was performed because the sonographic findings were felt to indicate it. Only in two cases was the sonographic assessment incorrect (false-positive). Frequent sonographic and clinical controls are required especially when sonography cannot totally exclude intraabdominal bleeding during the initial assessment. If any discrepancies between negative or uncertain sonographic and suspect clinical findings remain, further high-tech diagnostic methods or exploratory laparotomy become necessary.     

The role of angiography in diagnosis and management of blunt renal trauma.

In a series of 223 patients with blunt renal injury, 40 patients underwent angiography. From this experience the following conclusions have been drawn: If a renal injury is suspected the IVP must be done as soon as possible. In most cases the diagnosis can be confirmed. Mild injuries should be managed conservatively and therefore need no angiography. In life endangering injury there is no time for angiography. The operation should be done preferably by a transperitoneal approach to allow good control of the renal pedicle. Patients with severe injuries should undergo angiography. If there is no function on the IVP, angiography should be done immediately to diagnose possible arterial thrombosis. In most cases angiography can be carried out some days after the trauma. This investigation provides an exact diagnosis and helps in deciding about further treatment. If a major part of the kidney has no blood supply, or there is a rupture with a large perirenal extravasation of urine, we recommend conservative surgery to avoid early and late complications. All operations should be done some days after the trauma. All patients with renal injuries, either operated or conservatively managed, should be carefully followed up. Angiography should be done in all cases of post-traumatic hypertension.     

Recent advances in the diagnosis and management of blunt renal trauma.

Experience with 207 cases of blunt renal trauma is reviewed. We have found that renal scans and selective renal arteriography are the most informative diagnostic tests. However, in a small community setting we suggest use of an infusion urogram and a retrograde pyelogram. Our accuracy rates with these 4 diagnostic tests are listed and selected cases are illustrated. We believe that if exploration is warranted, kidney salvage rates will be improved because of an accurate assessment of the extent of renal injury.     

Detection and significance of microscopic hematuria in patients with blunt renal trauma

Detection of hematuria is paramount in establishing injury to the urinary system. In 339 patients with blunt renal trauma in whom radiographic studies defined the severity of injury we compared the degree of microscopic hematuria determined by dipstick and microscopic urinalysis. The overall correlation between the 2 methods was low (Pearson's coefficient 0.41). However, more than 80 per cent of the urine samples with 50 to 100 red blood cells per high power field corresponded to a dipstick result of 3+. The dipstick method had greater than 97.5 per cent sensitivity and specificity for detection of microscopic hematuria. Only 7 of the 339 patients (less than 2 per cent) had a discharge diagnosis of other than renal contusion: 5 had renal artery thrombosis or avulsion of the renal vessels and 2 had minor cortical lacerations that were managed nonoperatively. Although microscopic hematuria may be quantified more accurately by microscopic analysis, it can be detected reliably with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity by dipstick analysis.     

The value of echocardiography in blunt chest trauma

All victims of blunt injury to the chest or precordium admitted to a Level I trauma center in a 1-year period were evaluated prospectively with two-dimensional echocardiography on the day of admission, serial determinations of creatine kinase (CK) and MB isoenzyme radioimmunoassay (CK-MB) over the first 24 hours, continuous electrocardiographic monitoring over at least the first day, and serial 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) over the first 3 days. The patients were divided into four groups based upon the results of echocardiography. Group A (n = 35) had normal ECHO and ECG; Group B (n = 16), normal ECHO and abnormal ECG; group C (n = 14), ECHO showing abnormal wall motion and/or pericardial fluid; group D (n = 8), ECHO showing a nontraumatic valvular or wall motion abnormality. Nineteen patients required an operation under general anesthesia. Group C patients had significantly higher CK, CK-MB, numbers of associated injuries, and Injury Severity Scores; seven required invasive hemodynamic monitoring. No cardiac morbidity of general anesthesia was seen. We conclude that echocardiography is an important tool for diagnosis and triage which may be used to stratify a homogeneous patient population into groups with acute, chronic, and no cardiac disease. Cardiac injury occurs in a setting of multisystem trauma. Patients with normal echocardiogram and ECG on admission do not require intensive care monitoring.     

The accuracy of focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) in blunt trauma patients: experience of an Australian major trauma service

Focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) is a method for detecting haemoperitoneum in trauma patients on initial assessment in the Emergency Department. The aim of this paper is to present an Australian trauma centre's experience with FAST as a tool to screen for intraabdominal free fluid in patient's sustaining blunt truncal trauma. METHOD: Over a 63-month period, FAST scans were prospectively studied and compared with findings from a gold-standard investigation, either computed tomography (CT) or laparotomy. RESULTS: 463 FAST results were collected prospectively from 463 patients. 53 scans were excluded due to lack of a corresponding confirmatory gold-standard test. Overall sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for FAST in detecting free fluid were 78%, 97%, 91%, 93%, respectively. Analysis of the credentialed operators demonstrated an improvement in accuracy (sensitivity 80%, specificity 100%, positive predictive value 100%, negative predictive value 94%). These findings are comparable with documented international experience. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrates that the use of non-radiologist performed FAST in the detection of free fluid is safe and accurate within an Australian Trauma Centre.

Focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) in children with blunt abdominal trauma

BACKGROUND: Focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) has been well reported in adults, but its applicability in children is less well established. We decided to test the hypothesis that FAST and computed tomography (CT) are equivalent imaging studies in the setting of pediatric blunt abdominal trauma. METHODS: One hundred seven hemodynamically stable children undergoing CT for blunt abdominal trauma were prospectively investigated using FAST. The ability of FAST to predict injury by detecting free intraperitoneal fluid was compared with CT as the imaging standard. RESULTS: Thirty-two patients had CT documented injuries. There were no late injuries missed by CT. FAST detected free fluid in 12 patients. Ten patients had solid organ injury but no free fluid and, thus, were not detected by FAST. The sensitivity of FAST relative to CT was only 0.55 and the negative predictive value was only 0.50. CONCLUSION: FAST has insufficient sensitivity and negative predictive value to be used as a screening imaging test in hemodynamically stable children with blunt abdominal trauma.     

Evaluating blunt abdominal trauma with sonography: a cost analysis

Ultrasonography (US) is becoming increasingly utilized in the United States for the evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma (BAT). The objective of this study was to assess the cost impact of utilizing US in the evaluation of patients with BAT in a major trauma center. All patients sustaining BAT during a 6-month period before US was used at our institution (Jan-Jun 1993) were compared to BAT patients from a recent period in which US has been utilized (Jan-Jun 1995). The numbers of US, computed tomography (CT), and diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) were tabulated for each group. Financial cost for each of these procedures as determined by our finance department were as follows: US $96, CT $494, DPL $137. These numbers are representative of actual hospital expenditures exclusive of physician fees as calculated in 1994 U.S. dollars. Cost analysis was performed with t test and chi squared test, and significance was defined as P < 0.05. There were 890 BAT admissions in the 1993 study period and 1033 admissions in the 1995 study period. During the 1993 period, 642 procedures were performed on the 890 patients to evaluate the abdomen: 0 US, 466 CT, and 176 DPL (see table) [table: see text]. This compares to 801 procedures on the 1,033 patients in 1995: 552 US, 228 CT, and 21 DPL. Total cost was $254,316 for the 1993 group and $168,501 for the 1995 group. Extrapolated to a 1-year period, a significant (P < 0.05) cost savings of $171,630 would be realized. Cost per patient evaluated was significantly reduced from $285.75 in 1993 to $163.12 in 1995 (P < 0.05). This represents a 43 per cent reduction in per patient expenditure for evaluating the abdomen. By effectively utilizing ultrasonography in the evaluation of patients with blunt abdominal trauma, a significant cost savings can be realized. This effect results chiefly from an eight-fold reduction in the use of DPL, and a two-fold reduction in the use of CT.

超声影像在腹部损伤及非手术治疗中的应用价值

在我国急诊外伤中,腹部损伤已占到第四位,快速准确地诊断腹部损伤是临床外科极为关注的问题.超声影像作为一种无创或微创性诊疗技术,其在临床中应用日益广泛,尤其在腹部损伤这类临床常见急腹症中,由于其简便、实时、价廉及可靠性好的优点,已是腹部损伤早期主要的诊断方法之一.     

Sonographic diagnosis in blunt thoracic trauma

Chest sonography after blunt thoracic trauma allows the immediate institution of emergency treatment before X-ray examination. Especially in cases of hemothorax or/and hemopericardium, ultrasound is more specific and sensitive than conventional X-ray. A definite diagnosis of pneumothorax is possible when the typical sonographic findings are present: there is a strong line of reflexes along the chest wall, with complete extinction. Unilateral intensification of air-stipulated repeating echoes may be a sign of mantle pneumothorax. Ruptures of the diaphragm are usually recognizable on radiographic examination only when there is massive intrathoracic splanchnectopia. They are better recognized by ultrasound examination, so that iatrogenic complications caused by thoracocentesis can be avoided. Continued ultrasound check-ups are necessary to reveal any secondary appearance of pleural fluid and to monitor the effect of pleural drains. Ultrasound is also useful for guidance when pleural aspirations are performed. In 64 patients sonography showed hemothorax in 39 cases (radiographic: 13 certain, 9 uncertain), hemopericardium in 1 case, and rupture of the diaphragm in 1 case (radiography: no pathologic findings in either of the last 2). In 2 cases rupture of the diaphragm seemed possible on ultrasound but was excluded by later (ultrasound) controls, and in 2 cases with ultrasound findings suggestive of pneumothorax subsequent X-ray examination confirmed the diagnosis of mantle pneumothorax. At follow-up, 29 pathologic findings according to radiographic examination were recognized on ultrasonography as liquid or organized pleural effusions or pulmonary infiltrates. False-negative or false-positive findings (apart from two supposed diaphragmatic injuries) were not recorded with ultrasound.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Nonoperative management of blunt liver trauma: the value of follow-up abdominal computed tomography scans

Our hypothesis was that follow-up abdominal CT scans are not routinely necessary in patients with blunt liver injury treated nonoperatively. We conducted an 8-year retrospective review of hospital chart and outpatient clinic records. We reviewed all admission and follow-up CT scans. There were 42 adults and 12 children. There were 1 (2%) grade I, 15 (28%) grade II, 28 (52%) grade III, 8 (15%) grade IV, and 2 (4%) grade V liver injuries. Two patients died during the first 24 hours, both from associated injuries. Nonoperative management was successful in 51 (98%) of the remaining 52 patients. No follow-up abdominal CT scans were performed on 21 (40%) patients; none developed hepatic complications. An initial follow-up CT scan was obtained in 31 (60%) patients. Information from these scans directly affected management in 3 (9%) patients; in each case, the scans were prompted by a change in clinical status. One significant biloma with bile leak was managed by nasobiliary stenting and percutaneous drainage. One hepatic artery-to-portal vein fistula was obliterated by transarterial embolization. A single missed diaphragm rupture necessitated laparotomy. Additional late follow-up CT scans were obtained in 13 patients; no clinically useful information was evident on any of these examinations. We conclude that follow-up abdominal CT scans are not routinely necessary in patients with liver injuries treated nonoperatively. Selective criteria based on the severity of liver injury, presence of associated intra-abdominal pathology, and clinical parameters should dictate the need for follow-up imaging studies.     

Clinical value of bedside abdominal sonography performed by certified sonographer in emergency evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma

Purpose: To investigate the accuracy and efficiency of bedside ultrasonography application performed by certified sonographer in emergency patients with blunt abdominal trauma. Methods: The study was carried out from 2017 to 2019. Findings in operations or on computed tomography (CT) were used as references to evaluate the accuracy of bedside abdominal ultrasonography. The time needed for bedside abdominal ultrasonography or CT examination was collected separately to evaluate the efficiency of bedside abdominal ultrasonography application. Results: Bedside abdominal ultrasonography was performed in 106 patients with blunt abdominal trauma, of which 71 critical patients received surgery. The overall diagnostic accordance rate was 88.68%. The diagnostic accordance rate for liver injury, spleen injury, kidney injury, gut perforation, retroperitoneal hematoma and multiple abdominal organ injury were 100%, 94.73%, 94.12%, 20.00%, 100% and 81.48%, respectively. Among the 71 critical patients, the diagnostic accordance rate was 94.37%, in which the diagnostic accordance rate for liver injury, spleen injury, kidney injury, gut perforation and multiple abdominal organ injury were 100%, 100%, 100%, 20.00% and 100%. The mean time for imaging examination of bedside abdominal ultrasonography was longer than that for CT scan (4.45 ± 1.63 vs. 2.38 ± 1.19) min; however, the mean waiting time before examination (7.37 ± 2.01 vs. 16.42 ± 6.37) min, the time to make a diagnostic report (6.42 ± 3.35 vs. 36.26 ± 13.33) min, and the overall time (17.24 ± 2.33 vs. 55.06 ± 6.96) min were shorter for bedside abdominal ultrasonography than for CT scan. Conclusion: Bedside ultrasonography application provides both efficiency and reliability for the assessment of blunt abdominal trauma. Especially for patients with free peritoneal effusion and critical patients, bedside ultrasonography has been proved obvious advantageous. However, for negative bedside ultrasonography patients with blunt abdominal trauma, we recommend further abdominal CT scan or serial ultrasonography scans subsequently.
