    • Clinical guided computer tomography decisions are advocated in potentially severely injured trauma patients: a one-year audit in a level 1 trauma centre with long pre-hospital times 

      Bågenholm, Anna; Dehli, Trond; Hermansen, Stig Eggen; Bartnes, Kristian; Larsen, Marthe; Ingebrigtsen, Tor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-10)
      <i>Background</i> - The International Commission on Radiological Protection’s (ICRP) justification principles state that an examination is justified if the potential benefit outweighs the risk for radiation harm. Computer tomography (CT) contributes 50% of the radiation dose from medical imaging, and in trauma patients, the use of standardized whole body CT (SWBCT) increases. Guidelines are lacking, ...

    • Diagnostic imaging and ionizing radiation exposure in a level 1 trauma centre population met with trauma team activation: a one-year patient record audit 

      Bågenholm, Anna; Løvhaugen, Pål; Sundset, Rune; Ingebrigtsen, Tor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-15)
      This audit describes ionizing and non-ionizing diagnostic imaging at a regional trauma centre. All 144 patients (males 79.2%, median age 31 years) met with trauma team activation from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 were included. We used data from electronic health records to identify all diagnostic imaging and report radiation exposure as dose area product (DAP) for conventional radiography ...

    • Injury coding in a national trauma registry: a one-year validation audit in a level 1 trauma centre 

      Bågenholm, Anna; Lundberg, Ina; Straume, Bjørn; Sundset, Rune; Bartnes, Kristian; Ingebrigtsen, Tor; Dehli, Trond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-30)
      <i>Background</i> - Hospitals must improve patient safety and quality continuously. Clinical quality registries can drive such improvement. Trauma registries code injuries according to the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and benchmark outcomes based on the Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New ISS (NISS). The primary aim of this study was to validate the injury codes and severities registered in a ...

    • Trauma radiology in northern Norway 

      Bågenholm, Anna (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-08-27)
      <p><i>Background: </i>This thesis focuses on diagnostic imaging in potentially severely injured patients admitted to the University Hospital of North Norway. Imaging is important for timely initiation of treatment and survival after trauma. The use of standardized whole body computer tomography (SWBCT) is increasing. However, the ionizing radiation used may cause a small risk for induction of cancer ...

    • The treatment of spleen injuries: a retrospective study 

      Dehli, Trond; Bågenholm, Anna; Trasti, Nora; Monsen, Svein Arne; Bartnes, Kristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-29)
      Background Hemorrhage after blunt trauma is a major contributor to death after trauma. In the abdomen, an injured spleen is the most frequent cause of major bleeding. Splenectomy is historically the treatment of choice. In 2007, non-operative management (NOM) with splenic artery embolization (SAE) was introduced in our institution. The indication for SAE is hemodynamically stable patients with ...
