RC 417 - Penetrating injuries: understanding mechanisms and effects
Lectures
RC 417 - A. Penetrating injury: blades, bullets, and beyond
12:43N. Verma, Gainesville, FL / US
Learning Objectives
1. To become familiar with knife/sharp object wounds and how to detect their effect on tissues.
2. To understand the mechanism of injury at different velocities.
3. To recognise the predictable and unpredictable trajectories of bullets and flying fragments within the body.
RC 417 - B. Penetrating injuries of the upper body: head, neck, chest, and upper limbs
19:26K. Linnau, Seattle, WA / US
Learning Objectives
1. To develop a systematic approach for reviewing the relevant structures in a patient with a surface wound.
2. To recognise occult signs of penetrating injury.
3. To learn how to help clinicians evaluate and re-evaluate a patient with a penetrating injury.
RC 417 - C. Penetrating injuries of the lower body: diaphragm, abdomen, pelvis, and lower limbs
15:01E. Dick, London / UK
Learning Objectives
1. To seek out constellations of obvious and occult injuries in pelvic penetrating trauma, including neurovascular and perineal injuries.
2. To become familiar with the spectrum of vascular injuries including active bleeding, pseudoaneurysms, dissection and thrombus formation, and arteriovenous fistulas.
3. To recognise where radiologists can add value and guide the surgical approach.
