PREFACE

In this book, the epidemiology, identification of and management of
injuries sustained from blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) in childhood are
discussed, with a focus on recent advances and future research. Open abdomen
(OA), which refers to leaving abdominal incisions open after surgical
procedures, and its management are presented as well. Also in this book,
bacterial peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscesses, which are major
complicated intra-abdominal infections post abdominal trauma are discussed.
The severe abdominal consequences of falling, particularly among older
adults, is reviewed as well. Finally, periodontitis is known to be a risk factor
for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The authors focus on the role of
specific periodontopathic bacteria in AAA and are able to conclude that
periodontal pathogens play a major, critical role in AAA development.
Chapter 1 – Fifty years ago, the acceptance of non-operative management
of isolated solid organ injuries was a radical advancement in the care of
children and youth with blunt abdominal trauma (BAT). Since then,
refinements of care of these injury patterns have revolved around protocols for
length of bedrest and timing of return to activities, imaging modalities and
grading of severity, resuscitation and identification of need for operative
intervention or less-invasive arterial embolization, damage-control surgery and
techniques to spare loss of the spleen. The concept of regional trauma systems
as a means to ensure patients receive definitive treatment at appropriate levels
of care has led to further improvements in outcomes with less use of computed
tomography (CT) and associated exposure to ionizing radiation and
significantly less operative interventions. Ongoing research to identify
clinically significant injuries with more judicious use of CT, developing triage
guidelines within regional trauma systems, more clearly defining the role of
Louise Santiago viii
focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) and abbreviating the need
of hospital admission for less severe injuries can allow for more efficient use
of resources, reduce the impact of prolonged hospitalization on families and
the system and optimize outcomes of children and youth with BAT. This
chapter will discuss the epidemiology, identification of and management of
injuries sustained from BAT in childhood, with a focus on these recent
advances and future research.
Chapter 2 – Open abdomen (OA) is a term currently used to refer to
leaving abdominal incision open after surgical procedure. Indications for OA
management are heterogeneous and consensus has not been reached to date.
However, in trauma setting damage control surgery and abdominal
compartment syndrome are the most common indications for such treatment.
OA is usually managed with temporary abdominal closure (TAC) techniques.
TAC is an attempt to control fluid losses, minimize the loss of domain, and to
reduce fascial retraction. These techniques are also used as a bridge treatment
to facilitate patient management until definitive closure is obtained. OA
management is a result of a conjunct effort of surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Such collaboration could also increase any possibility to produce high quality
evidence in this field: in fact, an agreement about the right timing and method
for abdominal closure is still to be obtained. A literature review will be
presented to try to clarify crucial aspects of this topic.
Chapter 3 – Bacterial peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscesses are major
complicated intra-abdominal infections post abdominal trauma. These
infections are often associated with intestinal or mesenteric ischemic injury,
hollow organ gangrene or perforation, intra-abdominal visceral laceration,
infarction or perforation, severe pancreatitis, penetrating injury and
anastomotic fistula. Infections occur following the invasion of pathogenic
bacteria into the abdominal cavity or the involved organs. These infections
mainly manifest as diffuse peritonitis, peritoneal abscesses, or multiple intra-
abdominal visceral abscesses that require treatment combining surgical
protocols with anti-infective agents. Sepsis can occur due to the invasion of
numerous bacteria and toxins into the blood circulation, which may further
progress to septic shock, respiratory distress syndrome, acute renal failure as
well as intestinal and hepatic dysfunction.
Currently, the predominant causative bacteria include Gram-negative
bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.
pneumoniae) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) as well as Gram-
positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Enterococcus
