Association of Contrast Extravasation Grade With Massive Transfusion in Pediatric Blunt Liver and Spleen Injuries: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
Topic overview
This multicenter study examines whether CT-detected contrast extravasation severity predicts massive transfusion needs in children with blunt liver or spleen injuries. Findings may help trauma teams risk-stratify pediatric patients and guide early transfusion protocols in solid organ injuries.
Key takeaways
- Contrast extravasation grade on CT correlates with massive transfusion needs in pediatric blunt liver/spleen trauma
- Higher-grade CE on imaging may predict which children require aggressive blood product resuscitation
- CT findings can guide early transfusion protocols in pediatric solid organ injury management
