When an ICU performed daily-routine chest radiographs in any group of patients it was considered to be a \"daily-routine chest radiography\" ICU.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From the number of ICUs responding, 63% practice a daily-routine strategy, in which chest radiographs are obtained on a daily basis without any specific reason. A daily-routine chest radiography strategy is practiced less frequently in university-affiliated ICUs (50%) as compared to other ICUs (68%), as well as in larger ICUs (&gt; 20 beds, 50%) as compared to smaller ICUs (&lt; 20 beds, 65%) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&gt; 0.05). Remarkably, physicians that practice a daily-routine strategy consider daily-routine radiographs helpful in guiding daily practice in less than 30% of all performed radiographs. Chest radiographs are considered essential for verification of the position of invasive devices (81%) and for diagnosing pneumothorax, pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (82%, 74% and 69%, respectively). On demand chest radiographs are obtained after introduction of thoracic drains, central venous lines and endotracheal tubes in 98%, 84% and 75% of responding ICUs, respectively. Chest films are also obtained in case of ventilatory deterioration (49% of responding ICUs), and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (59%), tracheotomy (58%) and mini-tracheotomy (23%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is notable lack of consensus on chest radiography practice in the Netherlands. This survey suggests that a large number of intensivists may doubt the value of daily-routine chest radiography, but still practice a daily-routine strategy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2342-6-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,18]],"date-time":"2006-07-18T19:30:55Z","timestamp":1153251055000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Chest radiography practice in critically ill patients: a postal survey in the Netherlands"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Marleen E","family":"Graat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karin A","family":"Hendrikse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter E","family":"Spronk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johanna C","family":"Korevaar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaap","family":"Stoker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcus J","family":"Schultz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"8_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"198","DOI":"10.1177\/0885066603251897","volume":"18","author":"B Trotman-Dickenson","year":"2003","unstructured":"Trotman-Dickenson B: Radiology in the intensive care unit (Part I).
