ABSTRACT
In the critically injuried and hemodynamically unstable patient, extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (E-FAST) examination can be performed for a rapid assessment of peritoneal and/or pericardial fluid. We report a case of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation that was missed in the emergency department by E-FAST and identified by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
