summarize the basics of management of liver trauma in adults
Agenda:
Definition
Classifications

Liver trauma radiology
Principles of management

9. Definition of traumatic injury to the liver
Traumatic injury to the liver is
any intentional / unintentional,
blunt / penetrating / impaled damage to the
liver and / or major perihepatic vessels
resulting from acute exposure to external,
mostly mechanical, energy.
9
10. 1. Liver trauma classification,
By Abbreviated Injury Scale / AIS 2005, Update 2008
NB! for epidemiologists / science, as AIS grades are taken into account calculating ISS (0 - 75)
6 AIS
grade
6 Descriptors Codes: Assigned to a 6-digit unique numerical identifier
(UNI) to the left of the decimal point (known as the predot code)
1 Minor
2 Moderate 541810.2 (for superficial hematoma)
541812.2 (for intraparenchymal hematoma â¤10 cm )
541820.2 (for laceration)
3 Serious 541814.3 (for hematoma)
541824.3 (for laceration)
4 Severe 541826.4 (for hematoma)
541840.4 (for laceration)
5 Critical 541828.5
6 Maximal:
untreatable
541830.6
The original AIS was defined in 1971, by AAM (Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine)

11. 2. Liver trauma classification,
The American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST)
FOR DAILY CLINICAL USE
AAST gr. Description / Definition
Grade I Parenchymal laceration (fracture, rupture) < 1 cm deep
Capsular avulsion with superficial hematoma ⤠10 cm
Grade II Parenchymal laceration 1 â 3 cm deep
Intraparenchymal (subcapsular) hematoma â¤10 cm in diamether
Superficial hematoma >10-50%
Grade III Parenchymal laceration > 3 cm deep
Intraparenchymal (subcapsular) hematoma > 10 cm in diameter
Central penetrating wound
Grade IV Destruction of one hemiliver tissue (25-75% of the lobe or 1-3 S)
Massive central hematoma (âburstâ injury)
Grade V Extensive disruption of both hemilivers tissue
Extensive disruption of > 3 S or >75% of a single lobe
Injury to major hepatic veins or retrohepatic IVC injury
Grade VI Hepatic avulsion (ie total separation of all vascular attachments)

13. 3. WSES Liver Trauma classification is beneficial
in practical surgery
WSES Grade Definition Utilization of AAST grade system
Grade 1 Minor: if stable AAST grade I â II
Grade 2 Moderate: if stable AAST grade III
Grade 3 Severe: if stable AAST grade IV â V
Grade 4 Severe: if unstable AAST grade I â VI
(1)âŻIt shows that importance of AIS or AAST grades in surgery is relative
(2)âŻIt delineates the patient who should proceed to immediate laparotomy:
Grade 4
However, it doesnât stress the importance of borderline physiology
WSES liver trauma classification covers physiological status PARTIALLY
13
14. Liverpool, Aintree:
S+B+U+E classification + physiology and physiological response
Type Physiology Initial management Utilisation of AAST grade
S Stable CT: Conservative (SNOM) Any but Grade VI
B Borderline MHP + CT: all options to consider Any but Grade VI
U Unstable MHP + CT, if responsive:
ALL OPTIONS to consider
Any but Grade VI
E In extremis Surgery immediately Any (Grade I â VI)
MHP =
Immediate Hemostatic Resuscitation using Belmont Rapid Infuser
0(-) warmed blood 750 (3 units) ml a minute =
5 L in 5 minutes in AE Resus
at Aintree: 3L Reservoir and Heat Exchange Set for 4 packs
14
68. Non-operative management
â˘âŻ Admit all pts with gr. 2-4 injuries to monitored bed (Ht < 32% to ICU)
â˘âŻ When Ht is stable
â⯠Transfer to regular flow + advance diet
â⯠Ht and Hg daily, Liver enzymes and bilirubin on day 2
â⯠Mobilize when stable
â˘âŻ Grade I and II: discharge on day 1 â 2
â˘âŻ Grade III and IV or V: re-CT-scan on Day 4 (3-5)
â˘âŻ After discharge
â⯠No school / work for a week
â⯠No physical education for six weeks
â⯠No major contact sports
â˘âŻ Grade I and II â for six weeks
â˘âŻ Grade IIIâV â for three months
â⯠Instruct to return immediately to the ED if
â˘âŻ Worsening RUQ pain, fever, jaundice,...
â˘âŻ If so, consider biloma, UGI bleeding, secondary hemorrhage; avoid laparotomy.....

69. Operative management
Operative management when
â⯠âgrossly unstable (gr. 3 shock = 30% blood loss):
NO CT-scan is required â OPERATING THEATRE
â⯠Hemodynamically bordeline patient
When NOT RESPONSIVE to
haemostatic resuscitation via BelmontÂŽ Rapid Infuser
69
70. Operative management
Immediately to Theatre: 2 ASSISTANTS / 2 scrub nurses
Prepare from chin to mid-thigh / two large suction devices
Midline incision + suction + quick gentle inspection
- Split lig. teres hepatis (not Falciform ligament !)
Firstly, assess hepatoduodenal ligament (for portal bleeding),
Secondly, assess liver AND classify bleeding into 2 classes:
(1)⯠If it is bleeding from Portal Vein:
compress vein anatomically with fingers of L hand (50% JOB DONE);
use a pack/compression (as the alternative) / tourniquet
(2) NOT from PV: pack peri-hepatically / compress / wait
TEMPORAL CONTROL achieved: relax a moment and think
