متن کاملDiagnosis of Pneumothorax by Focused Assessment Sonography of Trauma(eFAST) and CT scan in Chest Trauma: Comparison of diagnostic accuracy
Abstract Aims and objectives: Pneumothorax is a common finding after trauma and with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from a concealed pneumothorax detectable only by a CT scan accidentally, to a potentially fatal tension pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can gradually progress to tension pneumothorax and become an emergency, consequently, a timely diagnosis is essential. Most traumatic patie...
متن کاملHand-held thoracic sonography for detecting post-traumatic pneumothoraces: the Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (EFAST).
BACKGROUND Thoracic ultrasound (EFAST) has shown promise in inferring the presence of post-traumatic pneumothoraces (PTXs) and may have a particular value in identifying occult pneumothoraces (OPTXs) missed by the AP supine chest radiograph (CXR). However, the diagnostic utility of hand-held US has not been previously evaluated in this role. METHODS Thoracic US examinations were performed dur...

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...
