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 کاملClinical Investigations Ultrasound diagnosis of occult pneumothorax*
Pneumothorax is a common problem seen in patients with both acute and chronic medical and traumatic conditions. Its frequency in the intensive care unit (ICU) is estimated at 6% (1). Chest radiography, a familiar technique (2), is the primary diagnostic modality used to screen for pneumothorax, but it has imperfect sensitivity for the disease: Misdiagnosis occurs in 30–40% of patients (3–7). Mi...
