All 26 panelists completed the 2 rounds of surveys, and 24 (92%) participated in the live and asynchronous online discussions. Results Of the 29 invited pediatric FAST experts, 26 (15 men ) agreed to participate in the panel. Main Outcomes and Measures Definitions of complete, high-quality, and accurate FAST and E-FAST studies for children after injury. This panel consisted of international experts in pediatric emergency point-of-care ultrasonography.

It used a scoping review and iterative Delphi technique and involved 2 rounds of online surveys and a live webinar to achieve consensus among a 26-member panel. Objective To develop definitions of a complete, high-quality, and accurate interpretation for the FAST and E-FAST in children with injury using an expert, consensus–based modified Delphi technique.ĭesign, Setting, and Participants This consensus-based qualitative study was conducted between May 1 to June 30, 2021. FAST and E-FAST that are performed by experts tend to be more complete, better quality, and more often clinically valuable. Importance The wide variation in the accuracy and reliability of the Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (FAST) and the extended FAST (E-FAST) for children after blunt abdominal trauma reflects user expertise.
