Many many ER patients have imagingBest to know what tests to
expect/order in which clinical setting

Ordering the appropriate tests
A great resource is American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria: http://www.acr.org/quality-safety/appropriateness-criteria

Scenarios
It’s your second rotation of intern year. You’re feeling pretty good because your first rotation was an outpatient month and you killed it!
And then you start ED and your first shift is 7p-7a…
Well, here goes nothing!

Ptx air in the pleural space may occur as result of: Traumapenetrating, blunt, or barotrauma; Iatrogenic biopsy, surgery, line placement, thoracentesis, mechanical ventil, bronchoscopy.Signs on CXR: pleural line, deep sulcus sign,
tension pneumothorax (mass effect from ball valve mechanism may yield displaced mediastin + poor venous return to the heart -> cardiovascular collapse and death)
