“…In that study, the specificity of ultrasonographic diagnosis was found to be comparable between the two groups. A recent systematic review recommended that a FAST course should be at least 16 hours of duration, including the following: 4 hours of theory, 4 hours of training on normal human models, and 8 hours of learning using animal models, case scenarios by video clips, or simulators [10].…”

“…A recent review [6] showed that such a concept is still lacking. After analyzing 52 studies, the authors reported that on average four hours were used for theory training (range: 1-16 hours) and four hours for the hands-on component (range: 1-32 hours, 34 included studies).…”

E-FAST (Extended-Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) is now a widely utilized and internationally recognized standard exam in trauma care. It is highly accepted by emergency physicians and trauma surgeons alike. Thanks to the popularity of PoCUS (point-of-care ultrasound), it has continued to evolve over the last years and can now improve trauma diagnosis at all stages of the primary ABCDE. This review article summarizes key observations made over recent years and also highlights the extension of FAST into E-FAST in the context of PoCUS and CT developments for modern trauma management. Time has come to learn the lessons from 25 years of FAST and 15 years of E-FAST. We should redefine and position ultrasound in the primary ATLS survey (Advanced Trauma Life Support) on two levels: 1. Basic ATLS with new clinical questions, six additional abdominal image sections and one or more follow-up examinations depending on the clinical situation, and 2. Advanced ATLS with ultrasound applications for the entire trauma ABCDE.

“…These simulator metrics can be used for formative feedback as well as to determine when operators have achieved the skills needed for clinical practice. However, built‐in simulator metrics are not always valid markers of competence . In other words, built‐in metrics often fail to discriminate between groups with different levels of competence .…”

“…However, built-in simulator metrics are not always valid markers of competence. [17][18][19][20][21] In other words, built-in metrics often fail to discriminate between groups with different levels of competence. 22 The validity and reliability of simulation-based assessments must therefore be examined to rely on their use for evaluating when trainees have acquired certain performance standards.…”
