Hospitals in Bahrain’s
Healthcare System
Accidents and Emergency
Emergency services are intended to help people who have had trauma or acute surgical or medical problems.
The patients are members of the public, including children and elderly as well as those referred from health centers. Radiology A/E consists
of 2 radiography rooms to serve all A/E patients. We also have a small patient waiting area and two changing cubicles one
for males and the other for females.
Procedure
All plain radiography examinations are performed in those two rooms such as all extremities, joints (hands, knee, wrist, Legs, feet, elbow & etc.), chest, abdomen, spine and skull. Patients with potentially life-threatening conditions or the seriously ill can be imaged in the resuscitation room by the mobile X-Ray unit.
Requests for special procedures are ordered only by the medical/surgical physicians on call following discussion with the radiologist on-call.
Preparations
Most of plain radiography examination do not require any kind of preparation except some examinations such as skull X-Ray, when the patient is instructed to remove hairpins, jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids and any removable dental work that could obscure the images.
Imaging is avoided in pregnancy except if strongly indicated by the referring physician. In that case, the radiograph is obtained with the abdomen/pelvis covered by a lead apron. Alternatively, other imaging modalities such as Ultrasound may be considered.
Precautions
- Pregnancy: as above.
- Stabilization during c-spine imaging
