FAST
Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma
AFHSR-Radiology Department! Hconnect.co, [email protected]
Focused exam using ultrasound to diagnose hemorrhage in a
trauma setting
!!Ideally takes < 3 min
AFHSR-Radiology Department! Hconnect.co, [email protected]
Indications!!BAT(blunt abdominal trauma )!
Stable penetrating trauma!
Assessment of the degree of intraperitoneal free fluid
AFHSR-Radiology Department! Hconnect.co, [email protected]
Contraindications!When emergency treatments such as intravenous (IV) fluids or transfusion of blood are indicated, performance of a FAST examination should not delay the initiation of these treatments.!!Although ongoing resuscitation and a patient in extremis are not contraindications, the FAST examination can be difficult to perform in such situations

• The hepatorenal space (pouch of Rutherford-Morison) is the most dependent part of the upper peritoneal cavity and small amounts of intra-peritoneal fluid may collect in this region first.!!
• Blood shows as a hypoechoic black stripe between the capsule liver and the fatty fascia of the kidney.

PELVIC SCANNING
AFHSR-Radiology Department! Hconnect.co, [email protected]
The pelvic examination visualises the cul-de-sac: the Pouch of Douglas in females and the rectovesical pouch in the male. It is the most dependent portion of the lower abdomen and pelvis, hence where fluid will collect.!!

The transducer is placed midline just superior to the symphysis pubis.

The pericardial examination screens for fluid between the fibrous pericardium and the
heart, and hence possible cardiac tamponade.!
