"Hemodynamically stable patients [8]
The following applies to patients who are stable at presentation or after initial resuscitation.
Diagnostics
Gold standard imaging: abdominal CT scan with IV contrast
Alternative imaging: FAST, MRI
Management [8][11][15]
Nonoperative management (NOM): preferred for hemodynamically stable patients with blunt splenic injuries regardless of grade [11]
Serial abdominal examination, including repeat FAST exam
Serial hemoglobin and hematocrit (serial H&H)
Acute pain management
Consider angioembolization if there is clinical deterioration or ongoing bleeding on initial imaging."
