Other Disorders: Summary

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

To summarize the iatrogenic disorders that we discussed,

0:04

specifically, foreign body aspiration.

0:07

The main takeaways include that these days,

0:11

low dose chest cts are much more specific than decubitus

0:15

or inspiratory slash expiratory radiographs.

0:17

If this is an option at your institution,

0:19

I think this is a great way to

0:22

exclude foreign body aspiration.

0:26

And then with non-accidental trauma.

0:28

Just remember, when you're evaluating chest

0:31

or airway radiographs

0:32

or any type of imaging, don't forget to look at the bones

0:35

and don't forget to make sure that

0:37

fractures can appear either acute,

0:40

like you typically see fractures in any other part

0:42

of the body, or they can be healing.

0:45

Babies usually can't communicate

0:47

with us if they're feeling pain in a specific place,

0:50

so it will be up to you

0:51

to find those fractures on the imaging.

0:54

So specifically, don't forget to look at the ribs,

0:57

the posterior and the lateral aspects, the clavicles,

1:00

the upper extremities, if they're included in the field

1:03

of view and the scapula.
