Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This retrospective analysis examines the clinical outcomes and diagnostic utility of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) in 100 trauma patients presenting to the emergency department.Through a detailed review of medical records, we assess the accuracy of FAST in detecting intra-abdominal and pericardial fluid, its impact on clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes.Our findings underscore the importance of FAST as a rapid and reliable tool in the initial evaluation of trauma patients, contributing to timely interventions and improved outcomes.
