N.F.L. draft hopefuls are undergoing more thorough examinations for head injuries this week at the annual scouting combine in Indianapolis.
Also informing young people about the needlessness of technical examinations for most injuries and the availability of GPs during out-of-hours, could redirect patient streams, without diminishing quality of care.
Due to its highest sensitivity for limb artery injuries (Sn 95 97%), SD is presently considered a first-line examination for triaging such injuries, replacing conventional angiography in ruling out significant lesions.
Ultrasound (US) is an easy accessible, safe and non-invasive diagnostic modality and is presently cosidered with the use of Doppler duplex sonography, the first-line examination for evaluation of vascular injuries [1].
Large prospective observational studies determined a high specificity and accuracy but low sensitivity of initial FAST examination for detecting intra-abdominal injuries in adults and children [ 66- 72].
Large prospective observational studies determined a high specificity and accuracy but low sensitivity of initial ultrasonographic examination for detecting intra-abdominal injuries in adults and children [ 81- 87].
Large prospective observational studies determined a high specificity (range 0.97 to 1.0) and a high accuracy (range 0.92 to 0.99) but low sensitivity (range 0.56 to 0.71) of initial FAST examination for detecting intra-abdominal injuries in adults and children [ 38- 45].
Describe the limitations of the FAST examination The FAST examination does not effectively evaluate solid organs for injuries.
Necropsy followed for examination of possible injury or abnormality.
The essentials of patient education are straightforward: daily foot checking, promptly calling for examination with new injury, never walking barefoot or on stocking feet (even to the bathroom at night), and wearing only prescribed footwear, breaking in new shoes slowly.
