Oftentimes in the ED, patients are traumatized and you'll come in or will
0:04
be asked to evaluate patients who have a history of trauma,
0:07
you may get very broad categorical, this is a patient who has had
0:11
trauma versus someone who has an NBC or who has had chest trauma,
0:15
or who's got penetrating trauma. So the degree of information that you get
0:18
is widely variable, but things to think about and to look for include
0:24
pneumo thoraxes, fractures pulmonary contusions. Whether or not there's
0:27
any aortic or great vessel injury, any sort of pericardial effusion or fluid
0:33
esophageal injury or bronchial injury. When you're thinking about exams
0:38
that can be ordered in this context, depending on your institution,
0:42
the ED may do the mass exams, some of the imaging teams
0:47
could be involved in mass exams, but we rely heavily on radiographs, both
0:51
PA and lateral, laterally if possible... And chest CTs. And then
0:56
in some instances, radiography of the ribs looking specifically for rib
1:01
fractures that may not be apparent on normal PA and lateral views of
1:06
the chest. So one thing to keep in mind, and I'm not a
1:08
huge fan of dedicated group series, particularly for getting other imaging,
1:13
as part of the work up. So if we know that we are getting
1:15
the CT, if we're gonna get a PA, and lateral of the chest
1:19
to radiograph with good inspiratory volume, again, the fractures that are
1:22
going to be damaging and need to be found right away,
1:26
generally you can see those, but keep in mind that oblique view that
1:28
are done on the rib series to elongate ribs and allow for a
1:33
better assessment of rib fractures.
