Abstract
Localization of nonvisceral intra-abdominal hemorrhages in patients with altered coagulation states is described using Gray-scale ultrasound. Sonic techniques are presented as painless alternatives to conventional radiographic and isotopic techniques which offer little diagnostic value in these cases. Compartmentalization of abdominal hematomas for surgical drainage is suggested.
