Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Sensitivity and specificity of TEE in identification of BTAI
To determine the test performance of transesophageal echocardiography in the identification of BTAI in comparison to CTA.
1 year
Study Arms (1)
Trauma patients with suspected blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI)
All trauma patients with suspected BTAI at the emergency department who require both transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Interventions
Sensitivity and specificity of TEE in identification of BTAI
Eligibility Criteria
Suspected BTAI are defined by the presence of at least one of the following criteria 1. high risk mechanism of injury (deceleration or crush injury), 2. clinical findings (external chest trauma or unexplained hypotension) or 3. chest Xray findings suspicious of BTAI (mediastinal widening, a blurred aortic knob, apical capping of the lung, a depressed left bronchus, a displaced nasogastric, mediastinal widening, or fractured first or second ribs).
You may qualify if:
- All trauma patients with suspected BTAI in the emergency department (ED) who undergo both TEE and CTA.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with contraindication to TEE such as suspected esophageal injury or pathology
