The Tactical FAST Exam (tac-FAST) is a ultrasound protocol to aid in the management of multi-trauma patients by identifying and prioritizing life-threatening injuries. The tac-FAST is integrated into the secondary survey after hemorrhage and immediate life threatening airway and circulation conditions have been treated. The tac-FAST utilizes a single transducer for diagnosis (the cardiac phased array transducer) of abdominal, thoracic, and cardiac injuries. The linear transducer is utilized primarily for procedures: venous access, arterial access, and nerve blocks.
