Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abdominal eviscerations are a surgical emergency. The protruding organ requires careful cleaning and evaluation prior to reinsertion. Do not attempt to reinsert the organs in the prehospital setting. Cover any protruding abdominal contents with a sterile dressing moistened with sterile saline and place an occlusive dressing over the top.
