Listen "Trip, Slip, Scan? Rethinking Head CTs in the Elderly"
Episode Synopsis
Ground-level falls are a leading reason older adults get head CTs in the ER, largely because current rules treat age > 65 as a risk factor by itself. Yet many emergency physicians question whether that’s always necessary for well-appearing patients. A new systematic review and meta-analysis in Annals of Emergency Medicine digs deeper, asking: what other factors truly predict intracranial hemorrhage after ground-level falls? Join Dr. Snyder as she explores the findings, limitations, and what they mean for everyday practice.
