Incidental Findings in Trauma Patients during Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma

open access: bronzeThe American Surgeon™, 2012
During the initial assessment of trauma patients they usually undergo a Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) in which there are occasionally incidental findings of other surgical conditions. In this audit we discuss the incidence, demographics, and implications of these findings and we propose a management algorithm.
