Collection Overview
Abdominal trauma, including penetrating, blunt, and blast-related injury patterns, triggers complex, system-wide physiologic responses ranging from hemorrhage to infection and organ dysfunction, highlighting the need for well-controlled, reproducible experimental models. Despite extensive laboratory work, many abdominal trauma animal models are difficult to reproduce because key technical details, such as injury induction and calibration, physiologic monitoring, resuscitation strategies, and outcome measures, are inconsistently reported, limiting cross-study comparison and slowing translation.
This Topical Collection aims to provide rigorous, step-by-step methodological protocols for standardized induction of abdominal trauma in animal models, spanning solid-organ injuries, hollow viscus injuries, as well as intervention protocols and outcome assessment. Submissions are encouraged that clearly define injury severity and reproducibility (including grading systems and calibration approaches), periprocedural care (including anesthesia, analgesia, antibiotics, humane endpoints), and monitoring parameters (hemodynamics, laboratory markers, imaging, functional assessments, and histopathology).
By providing detailed, standardized protocols, this collection will enhance the reproducibility and help investigators choose and adapt the most appropriate model for their specific scientific question. Ultimately, these shared protocols will accelerate mechanistic discovery and therapeutic evaluation in abdominal trauma, supporting more rigorous, ethical, and translatable laboratory research.
