| ABSTRACT |
|
The liver is one of the most commonly injured organs by blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma. The incidence of injuries is increasing annually as a result of the high number of traffic accidents. The mortality of this injury is almost 15% and the most common cause of death is hemorrhage.
But, liver injuries during cardiopulmonary resuscitation are rare complications. These liver injuries can be managed and treated by non-operatively. We reported a case of multiple liver lacerations that was detected incidentally and was treated with non-operative management. |
