Guiding CT scans for belly and pelvis injuries after blunt trauma
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were treated in the emergency department for a blunt injury (not a penetrating injury).
