Study Summary

The Focused Assessment of Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is a rapid point-of-care ultrasound exam performed on blunt and penetrating trauma patients who are too critically injured to be transported to a CT scanner. Low-frequency ultrasound is used to image the abdomen and pericardium in these patients, using either a curvilinear transducer or a phased-array transducer. Whether the use of one transducer or the other is better for this application is not well studied. In this study, physician ultrasound operators will perform the FAST exam on healthy non-injured volunteers to determine if the speed or quality of images between the two transducer types is different.

Primary Outcome

Total time necessary to perform a FAST ultrasound examination using either transducer specified, starting from when the exam is begun to when the last view is completed by the ultrasound operator. The average exam is estimated to take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
