Acute post-operative hemorrhage in the ICU can be difficult to diagnose accurately and in a timely fashion. There are many diagnostic studies available, some of which may delay timely diagnosis and treatment. This section reviews the diagnostic tests available and those that are most useful in the acute ICU setting of suspected post-operative or intraabdominal hemorrhage.
