摘要
Mild-moderate blunt chest trauma is defined as a blunt chest trauma that is not caused by a high-energy mechanism, causing thoracic tenderness with or without rib fractures and that has no immediate life-threatening consequences for the patient. It is a frequent clinical situation in the emergency department. The most common radiological techniques that are used in this context are chest x-ray and thoracic computed tomography (CT). The CT scan is set as the gold standard. However, there are no current clinical-radiological guidelines that establish the adequacy of the requests of the CT scan. Therefore, we decided to search for evidence-based recommendations to improve the adequacy of the chest x-ray and CT scan in our daily practice in order to reduce the costs and avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.
