Ecografía realizada por cirujanos en el manejo de pacientes con trauma

Background: Ultrasonography is useful in trauma patients to detect pleural effusions or peritoneal fluid. Aim: To assess the value of ultrasonography performed by surgeons in the assessment of trauma patients. Material and methods: A retrospective review of ultrasonography reports and clinical histo...

Aim: To assess the value of ultrasonography performed by surgeons in the assessment of trauma patients. Material and methods: A retrospective review of ultrasonography reports and clinical history of 284 trauma patients. Results: One hundred fifty six patients had blunt trauma and 128 had penetrating trauma. Ultrasonography detected peritoneal fluid in 20%, pericardial effusion in 1% and pleural effusion in 1%. Eight percent had visceral damage or hematomas, without peritoneal fluid. None of the patients with a normal ultrasonography required surgery for hemoperitoneum; however, four patients had intestinal perforations and required surgery. Conclusions: Ultrasonography had a 100% sensitivity and specificity for the detection of clinically significant hemoperitoneum.
