Accidents are the primary cause of death in patients aged 45 years or younger. In many countries, Advanced Trauma Life Support(R) (ATLS) is the foundation on which trauma care is based. We will summarize the principles and the radiological aspects of the ATLS, and we will discuss discrepancies with day to day practice and the radiological literature. Because the ATLS is neither thorough nor up-to-date concerning several parts of radiology in trauma, it should not be adopted without serious attention to defining the indications and limitations pertaining to diagnostic imaging.
事故是45岁及以下患者的主要死因。在许多国家,高级创伤生命支持(ATLS)是创伤护理的基础。我们将总结ATLS的原则和放射学方面的内容,并讨论其与日常实践及放射学文献的差异。由于ATLS在创伤放射学的几个方面既不全面也不与时俱进,因此在采用时应认真关注确定与诊断成像相关的适应症和局限性,否则不应采用。
