Slide 1-

Emergency Ultrasound in Trauma Anthony J Weekes MD, RDMS Janet G. Alteveer, MD Sarah Stahmer, MD
Slide 2-

Clinical Case GR is a 62 y male who hit his right torso when he slipped on an icy sidewalk. He denies head trauma, and can walk without a limp. Two hours later the pain in his lower chest has increased he comes to the ED.
Slide 3-

Clinical Case PE: BP116/72, pulse109, RR 24. There is a minor abrasion to right lateral chest, which is tender to palpation. Diffuse mild abdominal tenderness. Meds: Coumadin for irregular heartbeat
Slide 4-

Clinical Case 2 large IV’s placed, CXR done. Blood tests sent. Bedside ultrasound done. CXR revealed lower rib fractures, no HTX or PTX
Slide 5-

Clinical Case FFP ordered and OR notified. He is found to have a liver laceration and 500 cc of blood in the peritoneal cavity.
Slide 6-

Diagnostic Modalities in Blunt Abdominal Trauma Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) CAT Scan Ultrasound (FAST exam)
Slide 7-

Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage Advantages Very sensitive for identifying intra-peritoneal blood 106 RBC/mm3 approx. 20 ml blood in 1L lavage fluid Can be done at the bedside Can be done in 10-15 minutes Disadvantages Overly sensitive, may result in too high a laparotomy rate Invasive Difficult in pregnancy, or with many prior surgeries Can not be repeated
Slide 8-

CT Scan Advantages Identifies specific injuries Good for hollow viscus and retroperitoneal injury High sensitivity and specificity Disadvantages Expensive equipment 30-60 minutes to complete study Only for stable patients Not for pregnant patients
Slide 9-

FAST Focused Abdominal Sonography in Trauma
Slide 10-

FAST Advantages Can be performed in 5 minutes at the bedside Non-invasive Repeat exams Sensitivity and specificity for free fluid equal to DPL and CT Disadvantages Operator dependent May not identify specific injury Poor for hollow viscus or retroperitoneal injury Obesity, subcutaneous air may interfere with exam
Slide 11-

FAST Principles Detects free intraperitoneal fluid Blood/fluid pools in dependent areas Pelvis Most dependent Hepatorenal fossa Most dependent area in supramesocolic region
Slide 12-

FAST Principles Pelvis and Supra-mesocolic areas communicate Phrenicolic ligament prevents flow Liver/spleen injury Represents 2/3 of cases of blunt abdominal trauma
Slide 13-

FAST- principles Intraperitoneal fluid may be Blood Preexisting ascites Urine Intestinal contents
Slide 14-

FAST – limitations US relatively insensitive for detecting traumatic abdominal organ injury Fluid may pool at variable rates Minimum volume for US detection Multiple views at multiple sites Serial exams: repeat exam if there is a change in clinical picture Operator dependent
Slide 15-

Evidence supporting use of FAST Multiple studies in USA by EM and trauma surgeons Studies from Europe and Japan Policy statements by specialty organizations
Slide 16-

Emergency department ultrasound in the evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma. Jehle, D., et al, Am J Emerg Med, 1993 Single view of Morison’s pouch in 44 patients Performed by physicians after 2 weeks training US compared to DPL and laparotomy Sensitivity 81.8% Specificity 93.9%
Slide 17-

Trauma surgical study A prospective study of surgeon-performed ultrasound as the primary adjuvant modality of injured patient assessment. 1994 Rozycki et al. N=358 patients Outcomes used: US detection of hemoperitoneum/pericardial effusion
Slide 18-

Results 53/358 (15%) patients w/ free fluid on “gold standard” All patients: Sens 81.5%, spec 99.7% Blunt trauma: Sens 78.6%, spec 100% PPV 98.1%, NPV 96.2% Overall accuracy was 96.5% for detection of hemoperitoneum or pericardium
Slide 19-

Trauma Study Rozycki G, et al 1998 Surgeon-performed ultrasound for the assessment of truncal injuries. Lessons learned from 1540 patients FAST exam on patients with precordial or transthoracic wounds or blunt abdominal trauma
Slide 20-

Protocol: + Pericardial fluid OR Stable CT +IP fluid Unstable OR Results N= 1540 pts, 80/1540 (5%) with FF Overall: Sens 83.3%, Spec 99.7% PPV 95%, NPV 99% Precordial/Transthor : Sens 100%, Spec 99.3% Hypotensive BAT: Sens 100%, Spec 100%
Slide 21-

FAST – Specialty Societies Established clinical role in Europe, Australia, Japan, Israel German Surgical Society requires candidates’ proficiency in ultrasound United States US in ATLS US policies by frontline specialties American College of Surgeons ACEP,SAEM & AAEM
Slide 22-

FAST Perform during Resuscitation Physical exam Stabilization
Slide 23-

Equipment Curved array Various “footprints” Small footprint for thorax Large for abdomen Variable frequencies 5.0 MHz: thin, child 3.5 MHz: versatile 2.0 MHz: cardiac, large pts
Slide 24-

Time to Complete Scan Each view: 30-60 seconds Number of views dependent on clinical question and findings on initial views Total exam time usually < 3-5 minutes 1988 Armenian earthquake 400 trauma US scans in 72 hrs
Slide 25-

Focused Abdominal Sonography for Trauma (FAST) Consists of 4 views Subxiphoid Right Upper Quadrant Left Upper Quadrant Pouch of Douglas
Slide 26-

FAST Increased sensitivity with increased number of views Will identify pleural effusions Reliably detects as little as 50-100cc in the thorax Sensitivity >96%, specificity 99-100%
Slide 27-

Clinical experience with FAST Intraperitoneal fluid Sensitivity 82-98%, specificity 88-100% Morison’s pouch alone 36-82% sensitivity Increased sensitivity with Increasing number of views Trendelenberg Serial examinations Can detect as little as 250cc of free fluid
Slide 28-

Clinical Experience Solid organ disruption 40% sensitivity for all organs 33-94% for splenic injury Hollow viscus injury Sensitivity 57% Retroperitoneal injury Sensitivity for identification of hemorrhage <60%

Branney, S.W. et al: Quantitative sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting free intraperitoneal fluid J Trauma:1995: 39 Peritoneal lavage fluid infused in 100 patients Simultaneous scan of Morison’s pouch By physicians ( Surgery,EM, Radiology) Blinded to volume and rate of infusion Mean volume of detection: 619cc Sensitivity at 1 liter: 97% 10% physicians detected less than 400cc
Slide 42-

Caveat to Branney study: Artificial condition: infused fluid Fluid in Morison’s after pelvis overflow Tiling et al : 200 -250ml detected by US Collection >0.5cm suggests over 500ml Transvaginal/rectal 15ml of free intraperitoneal fluid Volume Assessment by US
Slide 43-

Detection of Fluid by Ultrasound Affected by positioning Location of bleed Rate of bleeding Operator Experience Value of sensitivity of Ultrasound: Detects clinically injuries Non-detection of fluid May indicate self- limited bleeding
Slide 44-

All Fluid is not Blood Ascites Ruptured Ovarian Cyst Lavage fluid Urine from ruptured bladder
Slide 45-

Mimics of Fluid in RUQ Perinephric fat May be hypoechoic like blood Usually evenly layered along kidney If in doubt, compare to left kidney Abdominal inflammation Widened extra-renal space Echogenicity of kidney becomes more like the liver parenchyma
Slide 46-

Pitfalls RUQ Not attempting multiple probe placements Not placing the probe cephalad enough to use the acoustic window of the liver Scanning too soon before enough blood has accumulated Not repeating the scan
Slide 47-

LUQ Probe at left posterior axillary line Near ribs 9 and 10 Angle probe obliquely (avoid ribs)
Slide 48-

LUQ Scan Plane More difficult Acoustic window (spleen) is smaller than liver Mild inspiration will optimize image Bowel interference is common

Slide 70-

Ultrasound in the Detection of Injury From Blunt or Penetrating Thoracic Trauma
Slide 71-

Penetrating Thoracic Injury Clinical challenge Where is the penetration? What was the weapon? What was the trajectory? What organ(s) have been injured? Improved outcomes in patients with normal or near-normal vital signs
Slide 72-

Penetrating Cardiac Trauma Pericardial effusion May develop suddenly or surreptitiously May exist before clinical signs develop Salvage rates better if detected before hypotension develops
Slide 73-

Clinical Case QD is 37 year old male brought in by EMS for ingesting entire bottle of unidentified red and white pills. In the ambulance bay he pulls out a knife and stabs himself in the left nipple.
Slide 74-

Clinical Case Initial BP 116/72, pulse 109 RR 24. IV’s placed. No JVD, Clear breath sounds, non tender abdomen As CXR is about to be done, pulse increases to 134. Bedside ultrasound is done while cartridge is developed.

Occult Penetrating Cardiac Trauma Observation unreliable Subxiphoid window Invasive 100% sensitive, 92% specific Negative exploration rates (as high as 80%) Ultrasound reliable indicator of even small pericardial effusion
Slide 87-

Trauma Study The role of ultrasound in patients with possible penetrating cardiac wounds: a prospective multicenter study. Rozycki GS: J Trauma. 1999 Pericardial scans performed in 261 patients Sensitivity 100%, specificity 96.9% PPV: 81% NPV:100% Time interval BUS to OR: 12.1 +/- 5.9 min
Slide 88-

Avoid Pitfalls Normal echo does not definitively rule out major pericardial injury Repeat echo with  clinical picture Epicardial fat pad may easily be misinterpreted as “clot” Hemothorax may be confused with pericardial effusion
Slide 89-

Blunt Cardiac Trauma Basic Assessments Pericardial effusion Assess for wall motion abnormality RV: closest to anterior chest wall Most likely to be injured Advanced Assessments Assess thoracic aorta – may need TEE to see all of thoracic aorta Hematoma Intimal flap Abnormal contour Valvular dysfunction or septal rupture
Slide 90-

Blunt cardiac trauma Injuries difficult to assess by FAST Valvular incompetence Myocardial rupture Intracardiac thrombosis Ventricular aneurysm Coronary Thrombosis Intra-cardiac Thrombosis
Slide 91-

“ The most important preoperative objective in the management of the patient with trauma is to ascertain whether or not laparotomy is needed, and not the diagnosis of a specific organ injury”
