[Risks in modern diagnosis].

F Rausch

    Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of London
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diagnostic procedures carry risks and patient stress. Awareness of adverse effects and a shift towards safer, non-invasive techniques like ultrasonics and CT scans are crucial for patient well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Diagnostics
    • Patient Safety

    Context:

    • Modern diagnostic methods are increasingly technical, posing physical and mental stress.
    • Patients must be informed about the risks and contraindications of diagnostic procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To present statistical data on the risks associated with common diagnostic methods.
    • To highlight adverse effects of invasive diagnostic techniques.

    Summary:

    • Common invasive diagnostic procedures include X-ray contrast media, angiographs, biopsies, endoscopies, and mammography.
    • While mortality rates are low, these methods cause stress and require patient cooperation.
    • There is a growing trend towards non-invasive techniques (ultrasonics, isotopes, CT) with comparable diagnostic efficiency and reduced patient stress.

    Impact:

    • Empowers doctors with data to assess risks of diagnostic methods.
    • Promotes informed consent and patient awareness of procedure risks.
    • Encourages the adoption of less stressful, non-invasive diagnostic alternatives.
