Emergency Medicine at HCMC
- Plain radiographs are to be ordered on EMSTAT and
need a clinical indication
- CT scans are ordered on EMSTAT and all
CTs other than non contrast head CTs, need to be called to radiology
at all
times. Ask the HUC to page the radiology resident and tell them the
patient name, number, and a brief history. Also order the CT on the
computer.
Results of CT scan will be called to the department by the radiology
resident/staff on call. If the CT is to be done with contrast need
to obtain a creatinine either Istat or part of a BMP.
- Ultrasounds
and VQ
scans need to be ordered on EMSTAT and called to radiology,
just like a CT.
