CT of Nontraumatic Abdominal Fluid Collections After Initial Fluid Resuscitation of Patients with Major Burns

¹ All authors: Department of Radiology, FND 216, Division of Emergency Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, PO Box 9657, 55 Fruit St., Boston, MA 02114.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to describe the presence and CT distribution of nontraumatic fluid collections and edema in the abdomen and pelvis after initial fluid resuscitation of patients with major ( 25% total body surface area) thermal burns.

CONCLUSION. Awareness of the presence and expected CT distribution of nontraumatic fluid after initial fluid resuscitation in patients with major burns can assist the radiologist in differentiating such collections from those caused by mechanical trauma.
