[Initial diagnosis of intra-abdominal hemorrhage caused by isolated splenic injury in blunt abdominal trauma].
Diagnosis of intraabdominal bleeding caused by spleen injury must be performed in the shortest possible period of time, with little risk for the patient, and with high preciseness. By its simple performance, high preciseness and little risk for the patient, DPL imposes as the predominant method in initial diagnostic of intraabdominal bleeding. Control and monitoring of lavage may duly signalize degree of bleeding. Preciseness of this diagnostic in our series ranges up to 93.3%. DPL method is especially important in a combined neurotrauma. Ultrasonography is a sovereign method in diagnostic of bleeding source as well as in monitoring of bleeding that from the very beginning does not require urgent surgical intervention. Its importance is in monitoring both intrasplenic and subcapsulary hematomas. It is not appliable in disturbed and haemodynamically unstable patients. It is in particular important in children where a maximum conservative attitude with respect to operative treatment has been assumed. CT takes the leading place with respect to preciseness of bleeding area, and the combined thoracoabdominal trauma. Preciseness of CT in our series comes up to 96.6%, but can be applied only in haemodynamically stable patients. Same as US of abdomen so the CT of abdomen represents a prominent method in monitoring of both intrasplenic and subcapsular hematomas, which do not require urgent surgical intervention.
