Popis: Peritoneal lavage is a safe and relatively simple procedure that can eliminate delay in diagnosing significant intra-abdominal injury after blunt abdominal trauma. Serious complications from the procedure are quite uncommon. The use of an "open" technique minimizes the risk of false-positive results. The technique does not uncover retroperitoneal injuries.
