E-FAST Ultrasound Training Curriculum for Prehospital Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Clinicians

Clever M. Nguyen, BS*, Krista Hartmann, BS, EMT-A*, Craig Goodmurphy, PhD^ and Avram Flamm, DO, EMT-P, FACEP, FAEMS*†**

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8S060 Issue 9:1 No ratings yet.
By the end of these training activities, prehospital EMS learners will be able to demonstrate foundational ultrasound skills in scanning, interpretation, and artifact recognition by identifying pertinent organs and anatomically relevant structures for an E-FAST examination. Learners will differentiate between normal and pathologic E-FAST ultrasound images by identifying the presence of free fluid and lung sliding. Learners will also explain the clinical significance and application of detecting free fluid during an E-FAST scan.
