Impact of whole-body computed tomography on mortality and surgical management of severe blunt trauma
INTRODUCTION The mortality benefit of whole-body computed tomography (CT) in early trauma management remains controversial and poorly understood. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of whole-body CT compared with selective CT on mortality and management of patients with severe blunt trauma. METHODS The FIRST (French Intensive care Recorded in Severe Trauma) study is a multice...
متن کاملCharacteristics of computed tomography in hemodynamically unstable blunt trauma patients
Emergent exploratory laparotomy is recommended for hemodynamically unstable blunt trauma patients suspected of having hemoperitoneum. However, given the unreliability of ultrasonography and rapid scan speed of computed tomography (CT), CT might help clinicians provide accurate information even in hemodynamically unstable trauma patients. This observational study aimed to describe the bleeding s...
متن کاملImpact on survival of whole-body computed tomography before emergency bleeding control in patients with severe blunt trauma
INTRODUCTION Whole-body computed tomography (CT) has gained importance in the early diagnostic phase of trauma care. However, the diagnostic value of CT for seriously injured patients is not thoroughly clarified. This study assessed whether preoperative CT beneficially affected survival of patients with blunt trauma who required emergency bleeding control. METHODS This retrospective study was...
متن کاملRadiation exposure from computed tomography in blunt trauma patients
Introduction. Computed tomography (CT) has many diagnostic advantages, spurring growth in the number of CT examinations. As the use of CT increases, the potential for radiation-induced adverse effects has become an issue. The primary objective of this study was to assess the liberal use of CT induced radiation exposure in patients with multiple blunt traumas. The secondary objective was to inve...
متن کاملSystematic review: effect of whole-body computed tomography on mortality in trauma patients
BACKGROUND The initial diagnostic evaluation and management of trauma patients is mainly based on Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines worldwide. Based on ATLS principles, conventional diagnostics such as conventional radiography (CR) and focused abdominal sonography in trauma (FAST) should precede selective use of CT. Whole-body CT (WBCT) is highly accurate and allows detection of li...
