Post-op Hemoperitoneum on POCUS
Post-operatively, u/s can also speed detection of hemoperitoneum. This can expedite return to the OR, obviate the need for CT and/or push activation of a massive transfusion protocol. This patient bled after an elective bowel resection; taken back to OR within 30 minutes w/o CT.
