Most of us working any length of time in emergency medicine are either familiar with or perform the (extended) Focused Assessment of Sonography in Trauma (eFAST). Some keep with the original FAST exam which does not include the lungs, and we will talk more about why you want to include the lungs in a separate podcast. However, after having just returned from 2018 AASPA Conference where we taught participants about many clinically important exams, there were some details of the eFAST that simply could not be covered simply due to time. This podcast is devoted to providing some quick tips to improve your exam no matter your practice level.
