Is routine portable pelvic X-ray in stable multiple trauma patients always justified in a high technology era?
PXR in stable blunt multiple trauma patients did not change the therapeutic policy in our patients. CTA of the abdomen and pelvis is the imaging modality of choice in blunt multiple trauma, regardless of the findings of PXR. Benefit of routine PXR is questionable in hospitals where MDCT is available. Based on our results, we suggest re-evaluating the current practice of routine mandatory portable pelvis radiography.
Dolasetron and lidocaine were effective in preventing pain of injection secondary to propofol.
