5 Minute 'HOT' Trauma CT Rates Of Detection Study

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Trauma (Including Fractures), Trauma Abdomen, Trauma Blunt, Trauma Centers

In brief

Many injured patients receive urgent CT imaging to identify major injury. CT imaging of trauma patients is often time critical and the accurate detection of life-threatening findings on this CT is essential. Often following a scan a radiologist is not immediately available to review the imaging, however other members of the trauma team have access to the imaging and may be in a position to provide a "hot" report. In this study we aim to demonstrate if an educational intervention with a checklist improves accuracy of the hot report.
