Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of the minimal pelvic free fluid finding on ultrasound. Method - The clinical and imaging data of 102 patients with blunt trauma abdomen were evaluated retrospectively. All children had an abdominal ultrasound. The ultrasound examination results were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included normal examination: group 2 included minimal free fluid in pelvis only. Result - Data of both groups was compared. No statistical significant difference was seen between group 1 and group 2 (p value 0.914). Conclusion – finding of minimal free fluid on ultrasound is non-significant and decision for CT scan should be based on clinical findings.
