Treatment of BAT(Blunt Abdominal Trauma).

Authors: Agron Dogjani;

Treatment of BAT(Blunt Abdominal Trauma).

Abstract

Introduction: Blunt abdominal trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all age groups. Trauma is one of today’s most serious and expensive health care problems, and it is the most common cause of mortality in the young population. This study aims to investigate the causes of Blunt Abdominal Trauma (BAT) and its incidence by age, sex, and other relevant factors. The outcome of BAT depends on the type of treatment, conservative or surgical, and the damage ratio of parenchymatous and cavity organs to BAT. The findings of this study will provide crucial insights into the management of BAT, enlightening the medical community and improving patient care. Material and Methods: The present study, with its prospective character, was conducted from June 2004 to April 2005. In our research, 77 trauma cases were included that were admitted to the national trauma center of UCMH. Tirana. The sample of the population was chosen by chance which means that this study is included all trauma cases presenting at emergency department having no study limitation Male 61 patients, female 16 patients, Distribution of BAT according to age: The ranging of patients age was till 14 years old 14 cases; years old 31 cases, over 40 years old 32 cases. Distribution according to the mechanism of trauma: Based on the type of trauma, there are 46 car accidents, falling from height, are 19 cases of hitting with a strong object are 12 cases. This comprehensive approach ensures the validity and reliability of our findings, providing a solid foundation for further research and clinical practice. Results: BAT classification: isolated BAT in 21 cases; Combined BAT in 56 instances; BAT combined with Polytrauma in 34 cases, thoracic trauma in 20 cases; Extremities fracture in one case; Treatment: Based on the way of treatment, there are 14 cases treated conservatively, and there are also 53 cases treated by using surgery... Conclusion: Injury to intra-abdominal viscera must be excluded in all victims of BAT. Physical examination remains the initial step in diagnosis, but has limited utility under select circumstances. Thus, various diagnostic modalities have evolved to aid trauma surgeons in identifying abdominal injuries. The practical implications of these findings are significant, as they can guide the development of more effective diagnostic and treatment strategies, directly impacting patient outcomes.
