ABC's of Trauma
The chest radiograph is an economical and sensitive screening
examination for the major injuries in the patient who has
sustained blunt chest trauma. Just as the physician uses the
ABC's to stabilize the critical ill patient (Airway, Breathing,
Circulation), the radiologic ABC's prompt the radiologist to
consider all of the critical injuries that may be sustained with
blunt trauma. THE most critical injury is considered first.
- Aortic Transection
- Bronchial fracture
- Cord injury (Thoracic spine)
- Diaphragmatic rupture
- Esophageal tear
- Flail chest
- Gas (subtle pneumothorax)
- Heart (Cardiac injury)
- Iatrogenic (Misplaced monitoring & support
catheters)
