CONCLUSION: The frequency of laparotomy or laparoscopy in children with BLSI was 8.2%. Children with no clinical signs of bleeding upon arrival did not later bleed, but 1.6% of these patients ultimately required abdominal surgery for other injuries. Transfusion >40mL/kg was strongly associated with intervention or death, but a substantial number of children who received less blood also required intervention.
