The Utility of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) Enhanced Physical Examination in Children with Blunt Torso Trauma.

CONCLUSIONS: In children, FAST and physical examinations each predicted the identification of IAI. However, the combination of the two (exFAST) had greater sensitivity and NPV than either physical examination or FAST alone. This supports the use of exFAST in refining clinical predication rules in children with blunt torso trauma. PMID: 32159909 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
