CASE STUDY MVA TRAUMA. The teens were reported to be driving around on their lunch break from high school. Later investigation discovered that the three girls were “Huffing” or “Dusting” which is when someone inhales gas from a compressed can of air that is usually used to clean computer keyboards.

Two flat plate AP Chests were obtained pre and post-intubation by placing a 14×17 film lengthwise underneath the backboard of the patient.

The findings from this were:

a normal heart, the mediastinum is not wide

lungs are normally aerated without disease

no fractures are demonstrated

chest x-rays have adequate density and contrast

The lungs include the required anatomy, which includes the apices of the lungs to both costophrenic angles.

Since the patient is on a backboard and the spine has not been cleared the patient is not in the upright positioned for both chests.
