Medical Students' Competency in EFAST (Extended Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma) Components: A Prospective Observational Study

There were significant incomplete assessments for free intraperitoneal fluid, primarily due to a lack of fanning in the hepatorenal, splenorenal, and pelvic areas. Trainers can effectively enhance student performance and outcomes by targeting these challenging areas. Further research might reveal whether residents and physicians show similar trends in EFAST completion.

Abstract

There were significant incomplete assessments for free intraperitoneal fluid, primarily due to a lack of fanning in the hepatorenal, splenorenal, and pelvic areas. Trainers can effectively enhance student performance and outcomes by targeting these challenging areas. Further research might reveal whether residents and physicians show similar trends in EFAST completion.
