“…Previous studies have investigated the accuracy of the FAST-exam [6, 7, 1923, 25, 26], although only a limited number of these studies were conducted in HD stable patients [19, 21]. The low sensitivity of FAST as found in our study (67%) is comparable to sensitivities reported in these studies.…”

“…Laselle and colleagues 51 provide an excellent overview of false-negative FAST scans. These investigators studied 332 patients with a median injury severity score of 27.…”
