? Best indicator of significant injury(microscopic

or gross)

? NOT related to the degree of injury
? Gross Hematuria is Variable and absent in :

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Renal trauma in pediatric population

? Kidneys propotinally larger and less protected
? Less retroperitoneal and peritoneal fat
? Less musculature

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Higher sympathetic tone ie hypotention less

reliable predictor of severity of renal injury.


--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Follow up

weeks

Bladder Trauma
Bladder: BLUNT: Overview

pelvic fracture 6-10%

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Bladder: PENETRATING: Overview

? Incidence 2%

? Associated major abdominal injuries (35%)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


and shock (22%)

? Mortality high: 12%
Bladder: Diagnosis: Physical Signs

Bladder: Diagnosis: Hematuria

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? Most (95%) have gross hematuria

? Microhematuria does occur: usually with

minimal injury


Indications of imaging

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Absolute

? Gross hematuria with pelvic fracture(30 % with

bladder rupture)

? Use 30% contrast

? Underfilling (250 cc)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


associated with false

negatives

Bladder: Diagnosis CT Cystography

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Preferred, especially if already getting other

CTs

? Antegrade filling by "clamping the Foley" is

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


not OK!

? Must dilute contrast (6:1 with saline, or to

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

about 2-4%)

Bladder: Diagnosis CT Cystography

Extraperitoneal

Intraperitoneal
Management (extraperitoneal bladder

rupture)

? Uncomplicated cases: conservative

management with catheter drainage.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

management (12% vs 5% with open repair)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


like fistula ,clot retntion and sepsis.

Management (intraperitoneal bladder

catch it.
