Abstract
Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) examinations have been performed for decades by surgeons during initial patient presentation for emergency care and surgical planning, as well as for guiding resuscitation. This case highlights how use of intraoperative FAST examinations performed by anesthesiologists can dramatically change patient management. Use by anesthesiologists perioperatively is an important skill, although it is not widely practiced.
期刊介绍：
A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
