The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of life-threatening arrhythmias in monitored ED patients while in the radiology suite. ⋯ The prevalence of a cardiac arrhythmia occurring during transport or while within the radiology suite in our study was zero. We conclude that stable patients can probably be transported to radiology safely without the use of bedside telemetry.

Determine the sensitivity and specificity of radiography in identifying nondisplaced elbow fractures after trauma. Our hypothesis is that nondisplaced fractures occur commonly following impact injuries and are difficult to diagnose with plain film imaging. ⋯ Radiography for nondisplaced elbow fractures demonstrated limited success. Additional imaging studies may be required in suspected elbow injuries with initial negative radiographs.
