The exFAST

from Ultrasound GEL Hosted by Delia Gold

The FAST exam has been used in trauma for decades - so why is there still confusion on how to use it in pediatrics? Because kids are different than adults! This article takes a look at the associations between intraabdominal injury and the FAST, physical exam, and labs. The authors then combine the FAST with physical exam findings to create the exFAST, the FAST-enhanced physical exam! Our GEL Jr hosts deliver great pearls for the FAST exam and how we should be using it based on the evidence to date. https://www.ultrasoundgel.org/118 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32159909/
