Answer: A
The FAST exam is done at the bedside to identify pathological fluid in the abdominal
and pelvic cavities. FAST exams reduce the use of more invasive diagnostic peritoneal
lavage and can be repeated if clinical changes or hemodynamic changes occur. A
negative FAST study does not rule out injury and may warrant a follow-up computed
tomography scan. Serial FAST exams can identify increasing abdominal fluid collections
from hemorrhage. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage/diagnostic peritoneal aspiration is
performed by the surgical team to rapidly identify the presence of hemorrhage in
patients who are hemodynamically unstable after trauma. - ANSA) diagnostic peritoneal
lavage ***
