Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does a haemoperitoneum indicate active bleeding in the peritoneum in 50 % of hypotensive blunt trauma patients : a study of 110 severe trauma patients?
Answer: Haemoperitoneum was associated with PAB in only 52% of hypotensive blunt trauma patients and 63% of bleeding patients. In contrast, 59% of bleeding patients had at least one EPAB. The screening of a haemoperitoneum as a marker of active haemorrhagic source may be confusing and lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate strategy. Clinician should exclude carefully the presence of any EPAB explaining haemorrhagic shock, before to decide haemostatic treatment.
Output (English): no
