Abstract

Background: Over the last years a non-operative management (NOM) of blunt  abdominal  trauma has been included into the standard treatment guidelines  in leading  trauma  centers  all over the world.  The  success  of NOM is based  on  careful patient  selection. Nevertheless, the selection  criteria have not been clearly determined up to now.

Aim: To identify predictors of successful NOM and to  create  a diagnostic  and  treatment algorithm for its implementation.

Materials and methods: 209 patients  with abdominal  trauma  who underwent  laparoscopy  or NOM from January 2006 to September 2015 were included  in the  study. The hemoperitoneum volume  and  organ  injury rate evaluated   by  using  ultrasonography  and  computed  tomography scan, as well as hemoglobin level, blood  pressure,  and  peripheral  pulse  were analyzed. We performed  comparative  analysis of prognostic  values of various selection  criteria for NOM, such as: 1) Huang and McKenney ultrasound scoring systems for hemoperitoneum quantification; 2) hemodynamic parameters; 3) hemoglobin levels;  4) various combinations  of the  above mentioned factors; 5) Sonographic  Scoring for Operating  Room Triage in Trauma (SSORTT) scoring system.

Results: Positive prognostic  values of parameters included into the study varied from 88 to 91.7% when used separately or in combination with other scored factors. Furthermore, there was no  significant  difference  between positive  predictive value  of all combinations of factors  and McKenney ultrasound hemoperitoneum scoring system used alone.

Conclusion: The proposed predictors  as  well as  diagnostic  and  treatment algorithm are easy-to-use  and available in clinical practice.
