10. Radiography

11. In Trauma Setting (protocol of x-ray in Trauma Patient) (Trauma Series)
Cervical spine ( (AP,Lat,Open mouth)
CXR(AP)
Pelvic Xray(AP)

12. X-rays of the Trauma Patient
For the trauma patient, “x-ray everything that hurts.”   The only caution is that unimportant x-rays not take precedence over treatment of life-threatening problems. For example, don’t delay operating on an epidural hematoma to take hand x-rays. If x-rays must be deferred, the reason for the delay should be written on the chart, along with a clear list of the x-rays desired. The films can be obtained later. Splint any extremity with a possible fracture if x-ray will be delayed.
 Almost every patient with severe trauma should have a cross- table C-spine x-ray, chest x-ray, and pelvis x-ray. The rationale: Neck pain may be missed in a massively-injured patient, and the cost of missing a cervical fracture is great. The chest may have significant internal injury without external tenderness. Pelvic fractures are often present in patients with trunk trauma, and are often missed. Order these important x-rays before the patient leaves the emergency department for other care.

24. Penetrating Injuries
Stab
Gun shot injury

25. (so it’s more dangerous)
Mechanism of injury
Low-velocity projectiles
A knife or projectile, for example, produces tissue damage by stretching and crushing; injury is usually confined to tissues in the path of penetration
The severity of the internal injury depends on the organ penetrated and on how vital the organ is.
High Velocity Projectiles
GSI leads to injury along its path + by shock waves to the adjacent structures.
(so it’s more dangerous)
The degree of injury also depends on the biomechanics of the penetrating projectile .
velocity, size of impact face, and deformability, and the density of the body tissues penetrated
