Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To precisely quantify pulmonary contusion size on CT and develop a severity grading systemTimepoint: Lung contusion measurement done on the CT taken within 24 hours of admission post trauma | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To correlate contusion size & severity with outcomes (such as pneumonia, ARDS, mortality, need for non-invasive ventilation or ventilator use, ICU stay) To develop a severity scale for pulmonary contusion (mild / moderate / severe) To determine the threshold contusion size predicting complications To compare simple visual quantification of pulmonary contusion size with the primary semi-automated CT quantification Timepoint: CT done within 24 hours of admission post trauma Above mentioned clinical outcomes recorded during the course of the patients hospital stay | — |
