OPTXs are commonly missed both by CXR and even abdominal CT scanning in seriously injured patients. Basic markers available early in resuscitation are highly predictive for OPTXs and may guide management before CT scanning. Further study of OPTX detection and management is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
