With increasing experience and knowledge about nonoperative management of splenic injury (NOMSI), patients are being discharged early and possibly placed at risk for late failure of NOMSI and its associated complications. To evaluate if blunt trauma patients managed by NOMSI can be safely discharged early, because failure after the third day from injury occurs infrequently and is not associated with added morbidity.
