%X We evaluated the ability of experienced trauma surgeons to accurately predict specific blunt injuries, as well as patient disposition from the emergency department (ED), based only on the initial clinical evaluation and prior to any imaging studies. It would be hypothesized that experienced trauma surgeons¡¯ initial clinical evaluation is accurate for excluding life-threatening blunt injuries and for appropriate admission triage decisions
