The patient who has sustained blunt trauma to the chest can present a diagnostic challenge to the emergency physician. There are several diagnostic modalities available for treating life-threatening injuries to these patients. The authors review published studies to support the use of these tests in diagnosing injuries from blunt thoracic trauma. The article focuses chiefly on two current areas of controversy, the diagnosis of blunt aortic and blunt myocardial injury. Finally, the authors make recommendations for the use of various tests based on the available evidence.
