The Utility of Sonography for the Triage of Blunt Abdominal Trauma Patients to Exploratory Laparotomy

Abstract: Hypotensive patients screened in the emergency department with positive FAST findings may be triaged directly to therapeutic laparotomy, depending on the results of the sonography examination, without the need for CT.

“…[2,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] The results of our study suggest that the accuracy of FAST performed by paramedics working in the ED, and trained in FAST, is comparable to non-radiologist-performed FAST. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the accuracy of FAST when performed by paramedics in the ED, trained in the performance and interpretation of FAST.…”

“…FAST has an overall sensitivity of 76-100% and specificity of 96-100% [18,19]. Compared to other diagnostic studies employed in trauma, such as DPL and CT, advantages of utilizing ultrasonography include its safety, rapid results, lower costs, performance at the bedside especially in hemodynamically unstable patients, and its noninvasive nature [20].…”

“…Tose gydymo įstaigose, kuriose gali būti reikšmingai uždelsta kvalifikuotai atlikti KT tyrimą, galima taikyti diagnostinį peritoninį lavažą (DPL) arba kryptingą pilvo echoskopiją dėl traumos ("focused abdominal sonography for trauma" -FAST) -ieš-kant laisvo skysčio pilvo ertmėje arba "smūginę" intraveninę urografiją -inkstų funkcijai įvertinti. FAST tyrimas yra greitas, neinvazinis, jo metu neapšvitinamas pacientas, dėl to tinkamas nėščiosioms ir vaikams tirti [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Kai kurių autorių duomenimis, jei yra kritęs kraujospūdis ir teigiamas FAST tyrimas, pacientas gali būti operuojamas prieš tai neatlikus KT [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Kai kurių autorių duomenimis, jei yra kritęs kraujospūdis ir teigiamas FAST tyrimas, pacientas gali būti operuojamas prieš tai neatlikus KT [5][6][7][8][9]. Ultragarsinis tyrimas (UG) yra indikuotinas hemodinamiškai nestabiliems pacientams, tačiau hemodinamiškai stabiliems pacientams turi būti atliekamas KT tyrimas, nes FAST tyrimo metu dažnai pasitaiko klaidingai neigiamų rezultatų.…”
