Diagnostic imaging of patients with polytrauma
FIŠER, Martin
The bachelor thesis deals with diagnostic imaging methods in polytraumatized patients. Diagnostic imaging methods play a big role in the examination of these patients, where the main goal is an early diagnosis, which should help, in severe cases, even save the patient's life. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first half of the theoretical part explains the definition of polytrauma and the mechanisms of its formation. The most common causes of multiple injuries are described. The second half describes the imaging methods that are used in the examination of polytraumas. First, I explain the basic radiological procedures and their algorithm in polytrauma. Then the thesis focuses on the principles of computed tomography, ultrasonography, skiagraphy and magnetic resonance. Contrast agents that we use in the diagnosis of a polytraumatized patient are listed. In the practical part, using the obtained data from the Hospital České Budějovice a.s., it was statistically examined whether the number of patients has increased over the past five years or not. In addition, the gender and age distribution of patients with polytrauma were investigated. The statistical representation of the causes of injury is also examined. The practical part also deals with what examination is performed most often. All data are clearly processed into tables and graphs. This bachelor thesis can serve as an educational material for students of medical disciplines and radiological assistants.
