Trauma panscan is now essenntial screening method but to take time for scanning may be harmful for severely injured patients.  In this exhibit you will learn; How to decrease the time for trauma panscan; time for moving from emergency room to the CT, putting the patient on the scanner off the stretcher, scanning, taking the patient from the scanner onto the stretcher, and coming back to the ER.  You can learn how to make them shorter for every step.      How effective and how difficult those tricks are with garading systems for every step.   Discussion will also include topics about trauma panscan for hemodynamically unstable patients and the panscan as a part of  the primary survey.  

Introduction: Significance of trauma panscan. How to reduce the time for panscan; hardware setting, special device for transfer, scannig protocols, and team approach.  All tricks are shown with degrees of effectiveness and difficulty. Discussion Conclusion and future directions
