 POCUS is point‐of‐care ultrasound.

 FAST is focused assessment with sonography for trauma, triage, and tracking (Lisciandro 2011).

 Veterinary POCUS (V‐POCUS), which includes FAST examinations, is defined as a goal‐directed ultrasound examination(s) performed by a healthcare provider at point of care (cageside) to answer a specific diagnostic question(s) or guide performance of an invasive procedure(s).

We will use the acronyms POCUS and FAST throughout the textbook. It is important to read the Preface prior to Chapter One.
