What is an Age of Injury (AOI) report? An Age of Injury report is made by a radiologist who reviews an initial report in order to determine the date of causation of the injury. This is useful in cases where relationship to an accident or cause needs to be determined, as in the case of litigation. There are specific methodologies used in resolving age of injury, so it is imperative to find a radiologist who is adept in this area.

Non-Sterile Gloves for Suturing Traumatic Lacerations?

REBEL EM

AUGUST 22, 2022

Background: Traumatic lacerations presenting to the emergency department are, by definition, contaminated (ie non-sterile). Standard management involves irrigation, local anesthesia, closure and tetanus update if required. The existing literature has never shown benefit to sterile gloves in these types of injuries if we irrigate and clean the site appropriately.
