The Utility of a Portable X-ray System.
Air Medical Journal 2019 May
Fujifilm (Tokyo, Japan) developed a portable X-ray system called the CALNEO Xair. We herein report our experience in using this portable X-ray system at the scene after transportation by a doctor helicopter (DH). An explosion suddenly occurred while a 42-year-old man was handling toluene in a factory, causing his clothes to catch on fire. When the staff of a physician-staffed helicopter (DH) equipped with a portable X-ray system checked the man at the rendezvous point, he had second- and third-degree flame burns to > 70% of his total body surface area. A chest X-ray obtained using the portable X-ray system showed clear lung fields. A noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin monitor indicated a carboxyhemoglobin value of 6%. He was transferred to a special burn center by the DH. This is the first reported case in which a portable X-ray system was used to evaluate blast injuries in the prehospital setting. This system may be useful for performing prehospital medical treatment for blast injury victims.
