Diagnostic accuracy of emergency-performed focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) in blunt abdominal trauma
INTRODUCTION Intra-abdominal hemorrhage due to blunt abdominal trauma is a major cause of trauma-related mortality. Therefore, any action taken for facilitating the diagnosis of intra-abdominal hemorrhage could save the lives of patients more effectively. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) performed by emergency physicians...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Pneumothorax by Focused Assessment Sonography of Trauma(eFAST) and CT scan in Chest Trauma: Comparison of diagnostic accuracy
Abstract Aims and objectives: Pneumothorax is a common finding after trauma and with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from a concealed pneumothorax detectable only by a CT scan accidentally, to a potentially fatal tension pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can gradually progress to tension pneumothorax and become an emergency, consequently, a timely diagnosis is essential. Most traumatic patie...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy of Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma Performed by Emergency Medicine and Radiology Residents
BACKGROUND Focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) is a method for prompt detection of the abdominal free fluid in patients with abdominal trauma. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to compare the diagnostic accuracy of FAST performed by emergency medicine residents (EMR) and radiology residents (RRs) in detecting peritoneal free fluids. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients triaged in...
متن کاملParamedic-performed Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) in the emergency department.
BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of paramedic-performed Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (PFAST) for detection of free fluid in patients admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) following trauma. METHODS After four hours of didactic and four hours of hands-on training, four paramedics prospectively evaluated trauma patients. Our gold standard was the official...
متن کاملPneumothorax diagnosis by extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma.
To the Editor:The study by Brook et al1 of traumatic pneumothorax detection by extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST) used a diagnostic criterion of absence of both lung slide and comet tail signs. The resultant sensitivity of 47%, whereas substantially better than the 16% of plain chest radiography, was reasonably concluded to be “insufficient for ruling out small pneum...
