Pneumothorax diagnosis by extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma.
To the Editor:The study by Brook et al1 of traumatic pneumothorax detection by extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST) used a diagnostic criterion of absence of both lung slide and comet tail signs. The resultant sensitivity of 47%, whereas substantially better than the 16% of plain chest radiography, was reasonably concluded to be “insufficient for ruling out small pneum...
متن کاملUnusual new signs of pneumothorax at lung ultrasound
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of pneumothorax with a bedside lung ultrasound is a powerful methodology. The conventional lung ultrasound examination consists of a step-by-step procedure targeted towards the detection of four classic ultrasound signs, the lung sliding, the B lines, the lung point and the lung pulse. In most cases, a combination of these signs allows a safe diagnosis of pneumothorax. ...
متن کاملComparison of the Diagnostic Values of Four-Point and Two-point Ultrasound Versus CT Scan in Determining Pneumothorax
Background and Objectives: Pneumothorax is a life-threatening complication and the most common cause of which is trauma. Early diagnosis and treatment of Pneumothorax are very important. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic values of four-point and double-point ultrasound versus CT scan in determining pneumothorax in Rasul-Akram and Hafte-Tir Hospitals during the years 2015 - 201...
متن کاملBedside Sonographic Diagnosis of Pneumothorax in Pediatric Patients: A Preliminary Report
Background: Development of thoracic ultrasound made it a useful tool for diagnosing respiratory disorders. But it has been rarely described in literatures about the accuracy of sonographic signs specific to pneumothorax. We studied the sonographic findings of pneumothorax in children and examined the patients with chest pain and/or dyspnea in our pediatric emergency department to determine the ...
متن کاملUltrasound diagnosis of occult pneumothorax.
OBJECTIVES Pneumothorax can be missed by bedside radiography, and computed tomography is the current alternative. We asked whether lung ultrasound could be of any help in this situation. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING The medical intensive care unit of a university-affiliated teaching hospital. PATIENTS All patients admitted to the intensive care unit are routinely scanned with whole...
