dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND/AIMS: This study was conducted to investigate effective management strategies for patients with severe blunt liver injuries.

METHODOLOGY: Treatment methods and outcomes of 77 patients with grade IV-V damage among patients with liver injury managed between 2009 and 2013 were investigated.

RESULTS: Of the 77 patients, 32 were managed surgically. Packing was performed in 29 of these patients, while 26 also underwent liver surgery to maximize the hemostatic effect of packing. All 32 underwent temporary abdominal closure, and the mean amount of blood products used in the first 24 hours after admission included packed red blood cell, 13.3 units; fresh frozen plasma, 12.4 units; and platelets, 12.2 units, very close to 1:1:1. A total of 9 of 77 (11.7%) patients and 8 of 32 who underwent the operation died (operative mortality rate, 25%). Liver-related uncontrolled hemorrhage contributing to death occurred in four patients (12.5%).

CONCLUSIONS: Although nonoperative management can first be pursued if the patient's condition allows for it, hemodynamic instability and evidence of peritonitis requires surgical management. Surgical management should abide by the damage control surgery principles that focus on packing to minimize surgical time, followed by aggressive critical care according to damage control resuscitation.
