The following symptoms and complaints may indicate abdominal trauma (abdominal trauma):
- Acute abdomen – acute (sudden) onset of symptoms in the setting of life-threatening abdominal injury; symptoms: Abdominal pain (abdominal tenderness), nausea (nausea)/vomiting, peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum with guarding), impaired general condition (possibly shock); often, the patient lies on his or her back with legs drawn up
- Hematoma (bruising)
- Bruise marks
- Prolapse (protrusions)
- Pain
- Signs of shock (low blood pressure, elevated pulse, dizziness, pallor, cold sweat, blue discolored extremities, anxiety, inner restlessness)
Notice:
- Symptoms of blunt abdominal trauma are often nonspecific, even in cases of high-grade organ injury. In some cases, external signs of injury are even absent.
- In children, in addition to injuries to the spleen, liver, and pancreas, injury to the duodenum (duodenum) must be considered. This often leads to symptoms only delayed.
