Call it “AFAST3” for Abdominal FAST3
• Diaphragmatico-Hepatic (DH) • Spleno-Renal (SR) • Cysto-Colic (CC) – • Hepato-Renal or (HR)

Ultrasonography: FAST The History and Overview of FAST • The Modification of FAST to AFAST
• Target Organ Approach – Classic Views
The History and Overview of FAST
• The Abdominal Fluid Scoring System – The patient’s abdominal fluid score (AFS)
• Lateral recumbency have a depth gauge – Most common low-scoring sites (DH, CC)
Major Injury, Small Volume Bleeder
Major Injury, Big Volume Bleeder
Triage, Tracking, Trauma The History and Overview of FAST AFAST3 -applied Abdominal Fluid Scoring System Defined
Lisciandro et al. JVECC 2009
• AFS score of 0 is FAST negative for any fluid
• AFS score of positives range from 1-4 with a maximum score of 4
• Simple, easy to remember scoring system, lateral recumbency “depth gauge”
The History and Overview of FAST AFAST3 -applied Abdominal Fluid Scoring System Defined
Lisciandro et al. JVECC 2009
• AFS- lower scoring (1,2) dogs on initial or serial examinations rarely become anemic called “small volume bleeders”
• AFS-higher scoring (3,4) dogs always become anemic and ~25% become transfusion candidates (PCV< 25%) called “big volume bleeders”
The History and Overview of FAST Serial Exams are Key for a Number of Reasons
