Injury patterns, management and outcomes of retroperitoneal haemorrhage caused by lower intercostal arterial bleeding at a level‐1 trauma centre : A 10‐year retrospective review
Abstract Objective Haemorrhagic shock is a life‐threatening complication of trauma, but remains a preventable cause of death. Early recognition of retroperitoneal haemorrhage (RPH) is crucial in preventing deleterious outcomes including mortality. Injury to the 9–11th intercostal arteries (i.e. arteries of the lower thoracic region) are complicit in RPH. However, the associated injuries, implications and management of such bleeds remain poorly characterised. Methods We performed a retrospective review of the medical records of patients diagnosed with RPH who presented to our level‐1 trauma centre (2009–2019). We described the associated injuries, management and outcomes relating to RPH of the lower thoracic region (the 9–11th intercostal arteries) from this cohort to identify potential predictors and evaluate the impact of early identification and management of non‐cavitary bleeds. Results Haemorrhage of the lower intercostal arteries (LIA) into the retroperitoneal space is associated with an increased number of posterior lower rib fractures and pneumothorax/haemothorax. A higher proportion of patients in the LIA group required massive transfusion, angioembolisation or surgical ligation when compared to other causes of RPH. Conclusion The present study highlights the importance of injury patterns, particularly posterior lower rib fractures, as predictors for early recognition and management of RPH in the prevention of deleterious patient outcomes. RPH secondary to bleeding of the LIA may require early and aggressive management of haemorrhage through massive transfusion, and angioembolisation or surgical ligation when compared to RPH because of other causes..
