Penetrating trauma
Stab wounds
Low-velocity items, such as knives,
by a person's hand, and usually do damage only to the area
that is directly contacted by the object.
The most commonly injured organs
In :
Penetrating abdominal are :
Liver (40%)
Small bowel (30%)
Diaphragm (20%)
Colon (15%).
1. Peritonitis
Stable hemodynamic
Associated injuries.
•Chest radiography
pneumothorax
hemothorax
•Plain radiography
account for bullets
foreign bodies.
intraluminal
Intravascular
potential source of emboli distant from the site of
entrance.
FAST examination:
positive FAST
therapeutic laparotomy
negative FAST
cannot be to rule out injury.
Computed tomography
Stable patient
Blood at the urethral meatus
- Retrograde urethrogram
- Cystogram.
Proctosigmoidoscopy
suspected rectal or sigmoid injury.
Laparoscopy
In thoracoabdominal stab wounds,
laparoscopy aids in the diagnosis of
diaphragmatic injuries.
Assessment severity of
gunshot wounds
stable patients
Anterior abdomen can be explored locally to determine
whether they penetrate the peritoneum.
Local wound exploration
penetrate the peritoneum DPL
Positive Exl .Laparotomy
Negative Admit & observe
No penetrate Debride suture & Consider discharge
Stab wounds
stable patients
exploration is more difficult and less reliable ,
are not explored
1. DPL
2. CT scann
Positive Exp.Laparotomy
Negative Observe
TREATMENT
Prehospital Care
Aggressive intravenous fluid administration
to maintain or reach normotension
Emergency Department Care
2. Breathing:
Pneumothorax.
Tube thoracostomy
needle decompression should be undertaken
immediately for patients with obvious
Permissive hypotension
- hypotensive ranges less than 90 mm Hg.
- prevent disruption of clot
4. Deficits: Glasgow coma scale
5. Exposure: undressed.
head-to-toe visualization
Buttocks

Scalp
posterior part of the neck
perineum.
Foley catheter
monitor urine output
hematuria.
2. Sign of peritonits
Is peritoneum
intact?
Yes Positive
DPL No Yes
Negative
Laparotomy Debride suture
Consider discharge
Admit, observe
Trauma scoring
Trauma scoring has emerged as a means of describing
injury severity and has become an essential component of
quality improvement.
Physiologic scores
-Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] score
-Revised Trauma Score
Anatomic injury
-Abbreviated Injury Score
-Injury Severity Score
REVISED TRAUMA SCORE
( RTS )
• Value of the :
1.GCS
2. SBP
3. RR
• coded value 0 – 4.
The Glasgow coma scale.
