1 IVC TRAUMA NORTHERN TRAUMA CONFERENCE 2014

2 IVC TRAUMA Penetrating Blunt Non

3 IVC Trauma due to penetrating injury
High mortality (70%) Higher if other associated vascular injuries Recognised as a severe marker of injury Consider other involved structures

4 IVC TRAUMA - Imaging Range of injuries Severity of injury Difficulty of imaging - rate of blood loss and poor identification Rare finding. They often die before reaching CT

5 IVC TRAUMA - IMAGING SIGNS
Index of suspicion. If you don't look for it, you won't find it. Active bleeding on CT Retro peritoneal haematoma Adjacent organ injury or other injuries Flat IVC Direct/indirect. Two lists

6 IVC Injury – Imaging signs
DIRECT Extravasation Retroperitoneal haematoma INDIRECT Adjacent injuries Pericaval oedema Hypovolaemia

7 Hypovolaemia Hypovolaemia with collapsed IVC/right heart (despite aggressive resuscitation)

8 Hypovolaemia Hypovolaemia with collapsed IVC/right heart (despite aggressive resuscitation)

18 IVC injury – blunt trauma

19 IVC injury – blunt trauma

20 IVC Injury - Blunt 22 year old male
RTC – two vehicle head on collision. Driver of vehicle Direct to MTC Injuries include Left hepatic contusion Ruptured left hemidiaphragm Retroperitoneal haematoma 2ary to IVC laceration

21 IVC Injury - Blunt Repaired surgically (along with other injuries)
Good recovery

22 IVC TRAUMA - SUMMARY Marker of v severe injury Rarely reaches imaging Awareness of potential allows recognition Underestimation of depth of penetration in penetrating injury Underestimation of haemorrhage in penetrating injury
