Blunt Trauma

Blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) represents 75% of all major trauma and is a common example of this injury. Most occur in automobile accidents, where rapid collisions can lift the driver in a steering wheel, dashboard, or seat causing a collision in more serious cases, or rupture of internal organs from mild internal stressors and worse, depending on the force exerted. For starters, there may be a few indications that an abdominal injury has occurred, which makes testing challenging and requires high clinical suspicion. There are two basic physiological mechanisms that have the potential for damage to the internal organs of the stomach: compression and decay. What happens occurs first with a direct hit, such as a punch, or pressing against an unproductive object such as a seat belt or steering column.
