Blunt injury to the abdomen is encountered more often these days due to rapid industrialization and the presence of more number of vehicles, thus leading to more number of accidents. Blunt injury abdomen is seen in increasing frequency in emergency rooms and therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of the patient is very important. Current research aimed to study the clinical presentation, management and complications associated with blunt abdominal injuries. Material and Methods: This Prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from February 2018 to December 2018. 100 patients with blunt abdominal injuries who reported to the emergency department were selected for the study. Retroperitoneal injuries, associated chest/ head/ musculoskeletal injuries needing emergency surgical intervention patients were excluded. Results: 100 patients with blunt abdominal injuries, a male predominance (84 patients) was noticed. About 54% of the patients were between 25 and 35 years of age. RTA (62%) was the commonest mode of injury. The abdominal organ most affected was the liver (26%). The small intestine was affected in about 19% of the patients and the splenic injury was observed in 14%. Amongst the 26 patients with liver injury 24 patients were treated conservatively and 2 patients needed surgery. Conclusion: Trauma predominantly affects the male population in their most productive age and hence eventually poses an economic burden to the national economy as well as on families. Initial resuscitation with correct clinical and radiological assessment and timely management is the most important step in the management of the blunt abdominal injury.
