Effect of the duration of emergency department observation on computed tomography use in children with minor blunt head trauma
D Schonfeld, BM Fitz, LE Nigrovic - Annals of emergency medicine, 2013 - Elsevier
Study objective We determine the effect of the duration of emergency department (ED)
observation on computed tomography (CT) rate for children with minor blunt head trauma.
Methods We performed a prospective cohort study of children with blunt head trauma and a

head injury to initial physician (emergency attending physician or fellow) assessment. For
children who were observed in the ED before CT decisionmaking, we defined ED …
