Abstract
The abdomen is the third most often damaged body component, after the head and extremities injuries due to blunt trauma. Blunt Abdominal trauma (BAT) can cause significant and even fatal internal organ damage but it can be particularly misleading because clinical symptoms may not appear for hours or even days. Traffic Accidents (TRAs) are the most frequent type of injury that result in organ damage. The present study was an Observational study. This Study was conducted from May 2022 to April 2023 at the Department of General Surgery, Deben Mahata Government Medical College Hospital, Hatuara. Purulia. Total 50 patients were included in this study. Charts and tables were used to explain the observations, which involved 50 patients in all. A third of the patients (33%) were between the ages of 20 and 30, then 31-40 (27%), over 40 (24%) and less than 20 (16%). The patients' average age was 34.20±15.48 years. 42 patients (84%) out of all the patients were men. The study found that the most often impacted category was young men who had BAT as a result of RTA. Additionally, it was determined with certainty that the liver and spleen are the solid organs most frequently harmed in BAT and that conservative (expectant) management should be used whenever feasible. Patients with lower hemoglobin levels upon presentation had a noticeably greater mortality rate.
