!ALL ARE NONSENSE!
• All should undergo surgical review
• Positive is positive but negative means nothing
![Page 27: Trauma Tips and Tricks PDF - KI Doc · 2019-03-01 · TRAUMA Tips and Tricks for GPs Christopher Dobbins MB.BS, MS, FRACS Division of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Critical Care](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050220/5f65691df8f2bd488828cb80/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Penetrating Abdominal Stabs• Isolated stab wounds can be managed conservatively:
• Patient haemodynamically stable
• Patient has minimal signs
• Patient alert and cooperative
• Only in a major trauma centre
• Multiple stab wounds probably need surgical exploration
• ALL SHOULD BE REFERRED FOR SURGICAL REVIEW
![Page 28: Trauma Tips and Tricks PDF - KI Doc · 2019-03-01 · TRAUMA Tips and Tricks for GPs Christopher Dobbins MB.BS, MS, FRACS Division of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Critical Care](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050220/5f65691df8f2bd488828cb80/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

CT scan• Gold standard investigation for blunt abdominal trauma
• Patient must be stable to perform
• Logistically at the RAH, scan takes 30 min to perform
• Directly impacts patient management
• Theatre vs interventional radiology vs conservative
• Dedicated contrast scans- combined arterial and venous phase

Other Points• Blood taking-generally won’t be used
• CT scans-not necessary as often need repeating
• If scans are done, please get radiology to make them available to us, we will review them early. SEND HARD COPIES
• Liaise early
