Trauma Abdominal Cerrado con el Dr. Raphael Parrado

Published:

Topic overview

Spanish-language discussion of blunt abdominal trauma management in children with Dr. Raphael Parrado. Covers diagnostic approach using FAST ultrasound and CT imaging, non-operative management protocols for solid organ injuries, and surgical indications including damage control techniques for hemodynamically unstable patients.

Key takeaways

  • Blunt abdominal trauma accounts for ~5% of pediatric trauma cases; spleen is most commonly injured organ (40% of cases)
  • Seatbelt sign on exam warrants high suspicion for intra-abdominal injury even without pelvic fracture in children
  • Observation protocols allow non-operative management of low-grade solid organ injuries with serial hemoglobin monitoring
  • Laparotomy indications include peritonitis, hemodynamic instability despite resuscitation, or transfusion >40mL/kg
  • Post-splenectomy patients require vaccination against encapsulated organisms within 2 weeks to prevent overwhelming sepsis
