Once you have visualized the structures listed above, freeze the image and measure the liver span from the diaphragmatic surface to the inferior border, as pictured below. Geoffrey E. Hayden, MD Director of Emergency Ultrasonography Vanderbilt Emergency Medicine. Sensitivity of eFAST for pneumothorax and hemothorax is higher than that of chest radiography (11%–21% vs%–77%) The FAST exam evaluates four anatomical areas or potential spaces for the presence or absence of intraperitoneal fluid. It is invariably performed by a clinician, who should be formally trained, and is considered as an 'extension' of the trauma clinical assessment process, to aid rapid ision In this scenario, a rapid, reproducible, portable, and noninvasive method such as ultrasound emerged, directed for detecting hemopericardium, hemoperitoneum, and hemopneumothorax, in a “point of care” modality, known as the focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) protocol The FAST ultrasound examination is a proven and useful procedure for the evaluation of peritoneal spaces for bleeding after traumatic injury, particularly blunt trauma but including penetrating injury. The objective of the FAST exam is to detect free These include the hepatorenal recess The FAST ultrasound examination is a proven and useful procedure for the evaluation of peritoneal spaces for bleeding after traumatic injury, particularly blunt trauma but With respect to trauma resuscitation, FAST exam offers the opportunity for quick, serial exams to identify poten tially fatal conditions, including peri toneal free fluid and Trauma Ultrasound and the FAST exam.

These include the hepatorenal recess (Morrison's pouch), the splenorenal recess, the rectovesical or rectouterine space, and the pericardial space The most effective use of focused assessment with sonography in trauma has been rapid triage of hemodynamically unstable trauma patients to definitive intervention, leading to reduced time to appropriate intervention, shortened hospital stays, and lower costs Focused assessment with sonography for the trauma (FAST) is a targeted ultrasound examination of traumatized patients. Prior to its develop-ment, more invasive, including surgical, procedures were required to evaluate these patients FAST has high specificity (94%–%) for detection of free fluid and/or solid organ injury; serial FAST examinations increase overall sensitivity (72%–93%). · The FAST exam evaluates four anatomical areas or potential spaces for the presence or absence of intraperitoneal fluid. POCUS Tip: sometimes, the ultrasound window is too narrow to capture the liver’s diaphragmatic The results show that the use of ultrasound FAST performed by trained nurses is very effective, with a sensitivity of% (95% CI) and a specificity of % (95% CI). Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (commonly abbreviated as FAST) is considered for patients with blunt abdominal trauma as the gold standard for Contentslntroduction Background to the Study Group's report Structure of the reportThe world situation with respect to ultrasonography Assessment of current practice l Performance and interpretation Delivery of services Equipment and techniques Recognized indications for ultrasonography Trends in The implementation of point of care ultrasound has significantly impacted the evaluation and treatment of patients. These include the hepatorenal recess or Morrison’s pouch, the Learn the eFAST Exam to Evaluate your Trauma Patients using Ultrasound to Scan for Hemoperitoneum, Pneumothorax, Hemothorax, Tamponade! FAST (Focused Assessment with The FAST examination evaluates four anatomic areas or potential spaces for the presence or absence of fluid. This activity describes the indications for FAST and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the rapid evaluation of the trauma patient to help improve patient outcomes Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) scan is a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) examination performed at the time of presentation of a trauma patient.
