COAST³ or “cageside organ assessment with sonography for trauma (triage and tracking)” is out (similar to BOAST in human medicine) and POCUS is now the preferred mainstream term similar to what has occurred in human medicine (Rozycki et al. 2005; Lisciandro et al. 2014).

We have replaced COAST with POCUS in this second edition and advocate for POCUS (or Focused) X, or POCUS (Focused) Y, or POCUS (Focused) Z as giving better clarity to the examination and have proposed approaches to the various systems throughout this edition. The use of FoCUSED for “Focused Cardiac Ultrasound” and other confusing acronyms we hope to avoid in veterinary medicine. FoCUSED in human medicine would have been better named POCUS (or Focused Heart) Heart or POCUS (or Focused Echo) Echo. The term “Focused” as in our first edition similarly provides clarity to the examination and may be used interchangeably with specific POCUS examinations.
