Patients who have sustained, blunt trauma of the abdomen, particularly with associated injuries, are prime candidates for the procedure.
Diagnostic peritoneal lavage is used in unstable patients who have suffered severe physical trauma. Useful for assessing hemodynamically unstable patients if fast is inconclusive. Drape the area with sterile towels or drapes.
