Comparison of Ultrasonography and CT in Acute Blunt Abdominal Trauma

By Kunwar Pal Singh and Sukhdeep Kaur

One of the big challenges facing the emergency room medical team is how to establish non-invasively the presence and extent of internal injury in a patient presenting with blunt abdominal trauma. Evaluating patients who have sustained blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) remains one of the most challenging and resource-intensive aspects of acute trauma care. Missed intra-abdominal injuries continue to cause preventable deaths. Physical examination findings are notoriously unreliable for several reasons; a few examples are the presence of distracting injuries, an altered mental state and drug and alcohol intoxication in the patient.
