| Summary: | Using ultrasound to empower the way of traumatic patient early and by-side management as its ability to discover what bare eyes and hands could not find out solely. The most known EFAST protocol for traumatic patients management may be extended more wisely by introducing the ultrasound probe(s) through a head-to-toe secondary survey and giving a better idea of what is going on with the patient before transferring him/her out of the emergency department and could save the time and the patient’s condition. This chapter would summarize what we know about ultrasound application on a traumatic patient by his/her side before sending him/her out for any further investigation, a new point of care for the standard of patient management by ultrasound. |
