Clinical value of bedside abdominal sonography performed by certified sonographer in emergency evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma.

CONCLUSION: Bedside ultrasonography application provides both efficiency and reliability for the assessment of blunt abdominal trauma. Especially for patients with free peritoneal effusion and critical patients, bedside ultrasonography has been proved obvious advantageous. However, for negative bedside ultrasonography scan patients with blunt abdominal trauma, we recommend further abdominal CT scan or serial ultrasonography scans subsequently.
