The incidence of cardiac injury after blunt chest trauma is difficult to determine and ranges from 8% to 76%. Moreover, the clinical presentation varies tremendously without a real gold standard to exclude or document cardiac involvement. Electrocardiogram as a single test is not sensitive or specific for diagnosing cardiac contusion.

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1988
The emergency medicine physician is encouraged to perform a brief eye history and examination on patients presenting with not only ocular but also multisystem trauma. Obviously, life-threatening conditions take precedence, but it is important to give attention to the ocular area once the patient is stabilized.

Gastric rupture after blunt abdominal trauma is a rare injury with few reports in the literature. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with blunt gastric injuries and compare outcomes with small bowel or colon injuries. All patients with hollow viscus perforations after blunt abdominal trauma from 1992 to 2005 at our level I trauma ...

The diagnosis of blunt cardiac injury is often difficult to make because of the multiple associated injuries, the lack of specific physical findings, and the lack of sensitivity and specificity of the electrocardiograms and enzyme changes. The two-dimensional echocardiogram and the monitoring of filling pressures and cardiac indexes by pulmonary artery

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1993
Emergency physicians must diagnose or exclude cervical spine trauma in daily practice. This is a complicated task, as the presentation may be subtle and the manifestations obscured, and no imaging modality is completely sensitive or specific. The research of the past two decades serves as a guide as to which types of patients require cervical ...

Nonpenetrating injuries to the abdomen represent a challenging problem in our nation's hospitals today. There seems little likelihood—in a growing society in which nearly 40,000 persons annually are killed in automobile accidents, and 3,500,000 injured—that we can look with any optimism toward the prevention of these injuries. It is hoped that a review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1978
Management of blunt trauma to the larynx and trachea is based upon accurate assessment of the anatomic site of the injury, the tissue involved, the time since the injury, and the general status of the patient. Early and orderly diagnosis and classification result in early management, which is essential to maximize function and minimize morbidity.To ...

Blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) are a rare but potentially devastating injury with stroke rates up to 50%. Over the past decade, the recognition and subsequent management of these injuries has undergone a marked evolution. This review will focus on the rationale for BCVI screening, imaging options, and treatment modalities.There are no ...

Background: The management of splenic injury resulting from blunt trauma in adults is controversial, with an increasing trend towards non‐operative management and conservation of the spleen. A retrospective review was performed on adult patients treated in a single institution for splenic injury resulting from blunt trauma in an attempt to identify ...
