CT scan and Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage: towards a better diagnosis in the area of nonoperative management of blunt abdominal trauma
2016, InjuryCitation Excerpt :The primary issue for the use of DPL is the high rate of nontherapeutic surgical exploration. Between 25 and 36% of laparotomies performed on the basis of a positive lavage results are nontherapeutic [3,13]. Several studies proposed different criteria for DPL positivity to improve BBMI diagnosis.
The role of computed tomography in the diagnosis and management of clinically occult post-traumatic small bowel perforation
2009, RadiographyCitation Excerpt :In addition, due to the invasive nature of the procedure there is a small risk of visceral injury and the procedure can also be difficult to perform in obese and uncooperative patients - particularly in inexperienced hands. Due to many of the above reasons and the delay that can occur awaiting microscopic analysis of DPL fluid, ultrasound has now replaced DPL as the investigation of choice in haemodynamically unstable patients.14,15 The ability of abdominal ultrasound to directly demonstrate small bowel injury is poor.
