The role of focused assessment sonography for trauma (FAST) on the outcomes in patients with blunt abdominal trauma following non-operative therapy: A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The non-operative management of blunt abdominal trauma had a high success rate and is expected to reduce the length of hospitalization and patients' morbidity. Here, we aim to evaluate the outcomes of patients with blunt abdominal trauma after non-operative management and associate them with prognostic factors.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis on patients with blunt abdominal trauma who received non-operative management (NOM) at our institution from April 2018 to April 2021.

Results

Two hundred eleven patients were included in this study who underwent non-operative management. Most of the subjects (73%) were males, with male to female ratio of 2.7:1. Most patients aged 20-29 years old (29.4%), FAST negative (62.1%), minor injured (45%), success
