-
Andrew Rosenfeld, DVM, DABVP, Dennis Keith, DVM, DACVR
| $250 (Separate Registration Fee) |
Sunday, May 6, 2012 - 9:00 am to 12:50 pm
A half day lab is intended to review emergency imaging procedures including radiologic and ultrasonographic modalities. Attendees will learn a specific skill known as the FAST scan (Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) that can be directly used in a day to day emergency practice. FAST scan is a series of 10 views at five locations specifically intended to identify sites of fluid accumulation or
intra‐abdominal injury.
With practice it can be completed in 6‐10 minutes with minimal patient stress and manipulation. A simple reporting form example is discussed that helps standardize the expectation for the examination, and improves consistency betweenclinicians at the same practice. The technique requires only B‐mode imaging (no doppler).
Participants will be split into teams offour people at six stations. A basic presentation of Thoracic and Abdominal FAST scans will be presented. Each participant will then practice how to image patients for FAST scans. Key landmarks and goals for each FAST scan will be outlined. Finally participants will work through critical care cases evaluating patients for abdominal trauma and injury.
Audience:: Veterinarians and technicians – Participation Limit of 20‐24 people.
