Abdomen is the third most common area of the body that is damaged because of trauma. The nurse must be aware of specific assessment findings associated with abdominal trauma and immediate recognition of problems, so this study aimed to assess patterns and outcomes of abdominal trauma patients admitted to trauma intensive care unit. A descriptive research design was used. Setting: This study was carried out in trauma intensive care unit at Assuit University Hospital. Sample: 60 adult critically ill patients with abdominal trauma. Tools: Patient profile characteristic's sheet and abdominal trauma severity scores and outcomes assessment sheet were used. Main results: There were 65% males and 35% females. Mean Age was 36.62±10.8. Blunt trauma accounted for 86.67% while penetrating was 13.33%. Motor car accidents was the main cause of trauma with 51.67%, liver and spleen the most affected organs. Mortality rate was 10%. Gastrointestinal and respiratory complications are the most occurred. Conclusion: Abdominal trauma patients need frequent assessment as majority of the studied patients at a high risk for developing complications. Recommendations: Training the nurses about how to use abdominal trauma scoring systems for frequent assessment of patients' heath statue from first day of admission.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of implementing emergency nursing intervention on clinical outcomes of abdominal trauma patients. Design quasi experimental research design was used. Setting the study was conducted at causality hospital affiliated to Tanta University and Elminshawy general hospital affiliated to Ministry of health. Sample a convenient sample of (60) adult patients who had abdominal trauma injury, had inclusion criteria and scheduled for emergency nursing intervention was selected and divided randomly into two equal groups, 30 patients in each group. Tools of the study: three tools were used for data collection: trauma patient assessment tool, hemodynamic instability score, and an observational check list. The results showed that half of the control and study groups had substantial beginning requirements and that the patient has a robust continuous volume need for the examined patient (score 4). Also, half of the control and study groups had large-resolved prearrival hypotension or tachycardia (score 1) before the emergency nursing intervention, whereas fewer than three quarters of the control and study groups had never been hypotensed or tachycardic. After the nursing intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean total score between the control and study groups. Conclusions: patients showed an improvement in their hemodynamic stabilization, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) equal 15, decrease length stay and free from complications after received emergency nursing intervention. Recommendations: Implementation of emergency nursing intervention for abdominal trauma patients upon admission until
