FAST can detect
between 100-250ml
0.5 cm in Morison's
Pouch = 500ml
1 cm in Morison's Pouch
= 1000ml
CT can detect volumes
of free fluid as low as
100ml
34. Extended FAST (eFAST)
Evaluation of pneumo and
hemothorax in addition to
intraperitoneal injuries.

Ultrasound is much more
sensitive for detecting pleural

relatively new concept but
it is easy to learn
