FAST stands for Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma and has been applied to the abdomen (FAST) and extended thorax (EFAST) in people (Rozycki 1998; Rozycki et al. 2001; Kirkpatrick et al. 2004). Its applications have expanded to nontrauma and tracking (Lisciandro 2011, 2016; McMurray et al. 2016). Problems arise in the human literature with terminology and they are not always right. For example, what exactly is EFAST? Is it a FAST and the thorax or only the thorax? What if we just do the thorax, then what FAST do we call it? Abdominal FAST (AFAST) and thoracic FAST (TFAST) give exact clarity and have been standardized and validated in published studies (Lisciandro et al. 2008, 2009; Lisciandro 2016; McMurray et al. 2016). Their acoustic windows have exact clarity, as does the “FAST” lung examination called Vet BLUE (Lisciandro et al. 2014, 2017).
