What is Emergency Medicine - What are pediatric intra abdominal surgery IAI predictors?
It is important to address IAI-causing factors such as high-speed car accidents, pedestrian auto accidents, bicycle accidents (including handlebar injuries), lap belt use, and direct impacts to the abdomen. For the purpose of identifying kids who are very unlikely to experience clinically significant IAI—defined as requiring a therapeutic laparotomy, angiographic embolization, blood transfusion for abdominal hemorrhage, or IV fluid for more than two nights for pancreatic/gastrointestinal injuries—a clinical decision rule has been validated. CT can be safely avoided in patients with the examination findings listed below: 1. There is no indication of abdominal wall damage or the seatbelt indicator 2. A GCS of 14 to 15 3. Absence of stomach pain 4. There was no sign of thoracic wall damage. 5. No reports of stomach ache 6. No diminished or missing breath sounds 7. No nausea
