Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Oral contrast solution and computed tomography for blunt abdominal trauma: a randomized study.
Oral contrast solution (OC) is unnecessary in the acute computed tomographic (CT) evaluation of the patient with blunt abdominal trauma. ⋯ The addition of OC to the acute CT protocol for the evaluation of the patient with blunt abdominal trauma is unnecessary and delays time to CT scanning.
