摘要

Dear editor, Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) enables clinicians to identify injury at the bedside in patients who are too unstable for computed tomography (CT). FAST is most commonly used for the evaluation of trauma, but is also essential to evaluate undifferentiated shock, as in the Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hypotension (RUSH) exam. [1] FAST is a core skill for clinicians who evaluate trauma patients.[2] Over 96％ of trauma centers incorporate FAST in trauma, and Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines recommend FAST for evaluation of trauma patients.[3] As a result, FAST has replaced diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) for assessment of traumatic intraperitoneal bleeding.
