Is routine roentgenography needed after closed tube thoracostomy removal?

BACKGROUND: Efficacy of chest radiograph protocol after tube thoracostomy tube (CT) removal. METHODS: Retrospective review (July of 1995 to July of 1996) of 141 patients with CT followed throughout their hospitalization. Excluded patients died (23 patients) or had thoracotomy (13 patients) before CT removal. RESULTS: A total of 105 patients had 113 CT removed (mean age, 36.9 years; Injury Severity Score = 23.4; CT duration, 5.0 days). Protocol chest radiographs were performed on average at 7.9 and 22.1 hours. Recurrent pneumothorax (RHPTX = new interpleural air) occurring in 12 patients (11%) and persistent pneumothorax (PHPTX = same volume of interpleural air) occurring in 13 patients (12%) caused no clinical problems and were treated without tube replacement. Three patients had symptoms after removal; none had RHPTX. Two patients had clinical signs; one reaccumulated a hemothorax requiring CT replacement, the other improved without replacement. CONCLUSIONS: Clinically significant RHPTX/PHPTX after CT removal is infrequent. Signs not symptoms detect CT removal complications. At our institution, chest radiographs are obtained in a delayed manner from protocol and offer no benefit over clinical assessment.

Skull roentgenography in the evaluation of head injury.

The role of skull roentgenograms in determining choice of therapy, hospital admission, and length of hospitalization was evaluated in 106 consecutive patients with head injury. Thirty patients were discharged from the emergency room after initial evaluation and had uneventful recovery. Seventy-six were admitted and discharged without operative treatment one to ten days later. Only five had pathologic skull findings roentgenographically. Of these, one was discharged from the emergency department; the remaining four were admitted because of abnormal neurologic findings. All five recovered uneventfully. Another patient who had a normal roentgenographic evaluation required subsequent admission for craniotomy. Skull roentgenograms were an unimportant factor in the management of head injury patients and did not eliminate the need for complete and serial neurologic evaluation.

Roentgenography of congenital dislocation of the hip.

The chronically dislocated hip of a 15-month-old girl was studied postmortem. The cartilaginous components of the pelvis (both true and false acetabula) and proximal femur were demonstrated roentgenographically and correlated with gross anatomical observations. These findings should be useful in the interpretation of radiographs in congenital hip dysplasia in children.
