Video Summary
In this week's AMSSM Sports Ultrasound Case Series, Duke University's sports medicine fellows, Brent Pickett, Eric Friedman, and Ben Ferry, presented a unique case on pneumothorax, focusing on thoracobdominal trauma in a collegiate athlete. Their pre-recorded session detailed using ultrasound for diagnosis following an athlete's injury presenting with shortness of breath after competition. They covered the protocol for ultrasound evaluation, emphasizing patient positioning, probe selection, and the importance of a detailed FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) exam. They demonstrated the advantages of using ultrasound over chest X-ray for diagnosing pneumothorax, pointing out its higher sensitivity. Their presentation included real images of the athlete's ultrasound, highlighting the absence of lung sliding and the presence of a transition point, which confirmed the pneumothorax. The session also touched on return-to-play considerations, stressing further evaluation and clearance before an athlete resumes sport after such injuries.
