intra-abdominal hemorrhage
Intra-abdominal hemorrhage refers to bleeding that occurs within the abdominal cavity. This condition can result from various causes, including trauma, ruptured blood vessels, or organ injuries. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, swelling, and signs of shock, such as rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like ultrasound or CT scans to identify the source of the bleeding. Treatment often requires surgical intervention to stop the hemorrhage and repair any damaged structures. Prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent serious complications or death.
