The Day I Didn’t Use Ultrasound –What Did I Miss? – Global FAST

The talk will be an introduction to AFAST and its target-organ approach for obvious soft tissue abnormalities and its fluid scoring system;  TFAST and its use for pleural and pericardial effusion and its echocardiography views; and Vet BLUE, a unique regional, pattern-based lung ultrasound approach along with its B-line scoring system and visual lung language. Practical everyday applications will be used to illustrate the power of each technique that when combined is called Global FAST.  The Global FAST Approach is considered an extension of your physical exam and your first line imaging test for most patients.  Global FAST detects conditions often missed based on physical exam, lab testing, and radiography.
