The findings to look for in abdominal trauma are the following: Hemoperitoneum Contrast blush consistent with active extravasation Laceration: Linear shaped hypodense areas Hematomas: oval or round shaped areas Contusions: vague ill-defined hypodense areas that are less well perfused Pneumoperitoneum Devascularization of organs or parts of organs Subcapsular hematomas Nowadays there is a trend towards non-operative management of blunt abdominal trauma. More than 50% of splenic injury, 80% of liver injury and virtually all renal injurys are managed non-operatively, because patients proved to have better outcomes on the long term related to visceral salvage.
