1 Tummy Trauma: Evaluation and Management of the Injured Child Catherine J. Goodhue, CPNP Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Trauma Program/Division of Pediatric Surgery

2 Objectives 1. Discuss common mechanisms of injury in pediatric blunt abdominal trauma and likely subsequent injuries 2. Review common traumatic injuries and their management of both solid and hollow viscera 3. List 5 signs or symptoms that should warrant high index of suspicion for abdominal injury in a child 4. Describe return to sports guidelines for solid organ injury 2

3 4 year old Flipped over handlebars Abrasions to face Bruising on abdomen Joy 3

4 Brittany 7 year old Auto vs. peds Deformity left femur Crying 4

5 Helen 15 year old Kicked in abdomen Continued playing Now nauseous and dizzy Bruise on abdomen 5

6 Isaac 4 year old Motor vehicle crash Altered mental status 6

7 Epidemiology Abdominal Trauma 90% blunt 10% penetrating Impalement Gunshot Stabbing 7

8 Pediatric Differences 8

9 Assessing the Pediatric Trauma Patient 9

10 In the Trauma Bay History Mechanism of injury GCS/AVPU on scene Any death on scene (MVA) Illicit substances/etoh involved Interventions in field ABCs 10

11 Mechanism of Injury External Forces Internal Forces Blunt vs. Penetrating Forces 11

12 Waddell s Triad - Bumper vs femur and torso on same side - Child is thrown, lands on opposite side of head 12

13 Restraint Devices & Injuries 13

14 In the Trauma Bay History Mechanism of injury GCS/AVPU on scene Any death on scene (MVA) Illicit substances/etoh involved Interventions in field ABCs 14

15 A In the Trauma Bay B C D E 15

16 Pediatric Abdominal Exam Inspection Auscultation Percussion Palpation 16

17 Benign Abdominal Exam - No outward signs - Soft, NTND 17

18 Concerning Abdominal Exam - Tenderness - Ecchymosis - Distension - Rebound - Guarding - Kehr s sign - Blood urethral meatus or rectum - Pelvic instability 18

19 Hemodynamics 19

20 Intra-Abdominal Injuries Hollow Organs (<10%) Solid Organs (>90%) Intraperitoneal Bladder Pancreas? Colon Spleen Small Intestine Liver Stomach Kidneys 20

21 Ultrasound CT Scan Plain Film Imaging the Belly Able to identify fluid Unable to localize or identify solid organ injury Portable and Fast Excellent identification of solid organ injury Questionable sensitivity for hollow viscus injury Takes time Free Air Pelvic Fracture Portable and Fast Also remember: Serial abdominal exams NPO observation 21

22 With permission 22

23 To Scan or Not to Scan?? Streck et al 2012 High-risk Clinical Variables Hypotension Abnormal abdominal exam AST > 200 U/L Microhematuria HCT < 30% Amylase > 100 U/L CLINICAL PREDICTION MODEL Normal systolic Normal abdominal exam AST < 200 U/L HCT > 30% Normal CXR 23

24 Trauma Bay Study Multi-center study Data points collected from Trauma Bay Data points collected 1-2 months after injury 24

25 Re-imaging? 3819 patients with normal CT scan results 16 (0.4%) subsequently diagnosed with intraabdominal injury Physical exams, labs 25

26 Diagnosis Free air Unexplained free fluid on CT Peritonitis Serial Exams Fever Oliguria Tachycardia in absence of bleeding Management Operate Hollow Viscus Injury 26

27 Grading of Splenic Injury American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST)

28 Grading of Liver Injuries American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST)

29 Solid Organ Injury Management Operative Management - Refractory hemorrhagic shock - Concomitant TBI Non-Operative Management - ICU, serial exams (bowel injury), serial Hct - APSA Guidelines Grade plus 1 day 29

30 APSA Guidelines Isolated Spleen or Liver CT GRADE I II III IV ICU stay (days) None None None 1 Hospital stay (days) Pre-discharge imaging None None None None Post-discharge imaging None None None None Activity restriction (weeks) From Stylianos S, and APSA Trauma Committee: Evidence-based guidelines for resource utilization in children with isolated spleen or liver injury.
