CONFIDENTLY PERFORM & INTERPRET THE E-FAST ULTRASOUND EXAM
Need to learn the FAST exam for your job or a trauma rotation, or want to sharpen your technique? In E-FAST Exam Explained Clearly, ultrasound expert and emergency physician Dr. Joshua Jacquet teaches a straightforward system for performing FAST and Extended FAST (E-FAST) exams efficiently and accurately.
The Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) is a standard part of the trauma evaluation. A FAST scan approaches CT for detecting hemoperitoneum, and it is faster, cheaper, and avoids radiation and invasive procedures. The extended exam adds views of the chest to detect hemothorax and pneumothorax.
Many trauma patients have internal injuries that are not apparent on physical exam. A well-performed E-FAST can identify bleeding quickly and speed a life-saving intervention.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and students in emergency medicine, trauma, and critical care.

Very good! Course is laid out well, starting with the basics and then quickly builds. Great illustrations/video clips. Will help my ED practice.
Alan Cashell
Thanks a bunch. I'm trying to incorporate ultrasound into an anatomy course for PA students but was never trained in it. Your course was a big help.
Sharon George
Excellent course for medical students, especially for those interested in emergency medicine, to get their feet wet to understand ultrasound. This course made ultrasound less intimidating with easy to understand explanations. THANK YOU!
Thomas Power
Really enjoyed the course. As a PA who worked in ophthalmology for many years, I did thousands of A scans and many B scans. This course leaves me wanting to actually perform some ultrasounds as well as learn more about the various applications for ultrasound. The systematic presentation of the concepts in the course and their continual reinforcement as the lectures progress is very helpful. Thank you for a very practical and entertaining course!
Vincent Gutierrez
I REALLY appreciate the concise nature of how the material is presented. If you are a new learner, this is a perfect primer for a formal / hands-on course, or if you you have a bit of experience with POCUS, this is a perfect refresher.
Timothy Shepherd
I'm doing this as part of a nurse practitioner program. My 9-year-old son has sat with me during some of the videos and he'll look at the quizzes with me. You make this so simple to learn that I think he would have passed the quizzes as we took them! Thanks for this material!
Robert Forstot
Excellent basic introduction to eFAST U/S exam with good repetition to reinforce normal and abnormal images with a useful algorithmic approach to a trauma patient. Also describes the limitations of the approach.
Christopher Nwaefulu
Well presented. I feel more confident to scan trauma patients.
Catherine Moses
This was great for an older doc learning ultrasound.
Crystal Ross
Very easy to understand. Liked how the video showed what I was looking at on the ultrasound.
