What is Emergency Medicine - Should all young trauma victims undergo routine pelvic and chest x-rays?
An abnormal thoracic examination, hemodynamic instability, severe cause, or during endotracheal intubation or thoracostomy tube insertion are indications for a chest x-ray. Young children seldom sustain pelvic fractures, and hemodynamically stable children of all ages rarely benefit from x-rays; instead, patients with severe pelvic pain or instability should get CT imaging.
