Radiographs of the anteroposterior chest, pelvis, and lateral cervical spine are the standard initial radiographs obtained in most patients with significant blunt trauma. A pelvic film can identify pelvic fractures, which can cause massive blood loss. If a patient with blunt injuries has persistent hypotension despite normal chest and pelvic radiographs, the most likely causes of the hypotension are intraperitoneal hemorrhage or cardiac tamponade.
