Does anyone know of any medical textbooks that cover the treatment of torso/abdomen stab wounds? Any help would be much appreciated.

Stab Wounds - Treatment? Posted: 04-23-05 08:47am


Hey stepheng, how are you doing? Most patients with penetrating abdominal injuries benefit from intravenous antibiotics given perioperatively. Initial resuscitation of patients with penetrating abdominal injuries depends on the condition of the patient upon arrival. Several means of closure are suggested, from packing and approximating the skin with towel clips to suturing an intravenous fluid bag to the fascia. Also, patients who have undergone damage control who require another exploration in 24-48 hours may require temporary closure of the abdomen. For excellent patient education resources, visit emedicine's wounds center. Also, see emedicine's patient education article puncture wound.
