Core Tip
Core Tip: Abdominal massage is considered a reliable treatment method to relieve abdominal distension and constipation, but when asked by doctors about trauma history, it is sometimes ignored. Pancreas rupture is more common in severe steering wheel impact injuries, but it is rarely associated with abdominal massage. Therefore, we must be alert to the increase in intra-abdominal pressure caused by massage, which may further damage the pancreas or other abdominal organs.
