But in children the management of haemoperitoneum and injury to solid abdominal viscera is generally conservative.

However, when severe it can manifest as jaundice, hepatomegaly, liver failure and haemoperitoneum.

In the same patient haemoperitoneum and haemothorax occurred and in a further patient a large subcutaneous haematoma was seen.

Blood may also escape into the peritoneal cavity leading to a hemoperitoneum.

Having survived the attack, he was taken to a nearby hospital where he died of hemothorax and hemoperitoneum 10 minutes after arriving.

This procedure is performed when intra-abdominal bleeding (hemoperitoneum), usually secondary to trauma, is suspected.

A large hemoperitoneum.

Causes of hemoperitoneum include:

Extensive hemoperitoneum (bleeding inside the body cavity) or injury to the major organs may require emergent surgical exploration and repair.

However, fluid can collect in this space in circumstances where the abdomen fills with fluid, such as hemoperitoneum.

However, this space becomes significant in conditions in which fluid collects within the abdomen (most commonly ascites and hemoperitoneum).

Article: Hemoperitoneum due to Tenckhoff catheter-caused luteal cyst rupture.

A positive result suggests hemoperitoneum; often CT scan will be performed if the patient is stable or a laparotomy if unstable.

The bodies were taken to King's County Hospital, and Eddie's cause of death was listed as "crushed chest & abdomen; hemothorax & hemoperitoneum in aeroplane crash".

It can be the source of hemoperitoneum, but only rarely does it pose a hemodynamic risk to the patient if severed and it is easily cauterized or sutured to prevent bleeding.

Culdocentesis will differentiate hemoperitoneum (ruptured ectopic pregnancy or hemorrhagic cyst) from pelvic sepsis (salpingitis, ruptured pelvic abscess, or ruptured appendix).

Classically, hemoperitoneum was an indication for emergency surgery to locate the source of bleeding and also to recover spilled blood from the peritoneal cavity and to use it for auto-transfusion if it has not been contaminated by ruptured bowel contents.
