ABSTRACT

Extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST) is a rapid triage tool aiding the detection of life-threatening injuries. In academic settings, residents perform most eFAST; however, the ACGME has no recommendations for eFAST training standards. We surveyed general surgery programs (GSPs) regarding eFAST training and established a baseline for sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for resident-performed eFAST. US GSP eFAST surveys were conducted by email and phone. We prospectively collected patient variables and evaluated resident performance from May to September 2022 and 2023 at an academic level I trauma center. A total of 60/339 general surgery residency programs (GSRPs) responded: Ten use Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) only, n = 7 group training, n = 8 on-the-job only, and n = 33 several methods. Resident-performed eFAST had accuracy = 85.6%, sensitivity = 35.6%, specificity = 97.2%, PPV = 75%, and NPV = 87%. General surgery residency program training in eFAST is non-standardized. Sensitivity was considerably lower than the literature suggests. Positive resident-performed eFAST is generally accurate. We recommend a standardized approach to resident training in eFAST.
