The Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (eFAST) plays a crucial role in the emergency department (ED) by providing rapid and non-invasive diagnostic information in trauma patients. It is a diagnostic-free fluid detection technique that uses sonography to assess trauma in different anatomical windows of the chest and abdomen and has been accepted in multiple studies as the initial diagnostic tool for torso injuries in blunt abdominal trauma. By promptly identifying potentially life-threatening injuries, such as haemoperitoneum, haemothorax, and cardiac tamponade, eFAST facilitates timely intervention and improves patient outcomes in the ED. The eFAST exam is reliable, with high sensitivity and specificity, even when performed by non-radiological personnel, saving time and resources in the chaotic emergency environment. This review aims to assess the diagnostic reliability and limitations of eFAST in different trauma conditions and to outline its goals in trauma critical care and in “ABCDE” resuscitation.

Thawed plasma (TP) refers to defrosted fresh frozen plasma stored refrigerated. TP is used in human medicine for the rapid provision of coagulation factors and resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock, but its use in dogs is poorly described. The objectives of this historical case series were to describe the reasons for TP transfusion, treatment outcomes, and adverse events associated with canine TP transfusions in a veterinary teaching hospital. We hypothesised that TP would be used most commonly for the treatment of haemorrhage secondary to anticoagulant rodenticide intoxication and trauma. Blood bank plasma transfusion logs were searched to identify dogs that received at least one unit of TP between December 2015 and June 2021. Briefly, 166 dogs received a total of 262 units of TP. Anticoagulant rodenticide intoxication (37/166, 22.3%) was the most common reason for transfusion, followed by traumatic haemorrhage (23, 13.9%) and spontaneous haemoperitoneum (22, 13.2%). The majority of dogs received one unit of TP (111/166, 67.1%) and pRBCs were commonly simultaneously transfused with TP (65, 39.2%). Severe prolongations of prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were reduced following TP transfusions. Allergic reactions were the most common transfusion reaction (19/166, 11.4%). Most dogs survived to discharge (101/166, 60.8%). Full article

Choriocarcinoma is a beta human chorionic gonadotrophin secreting neoplasm pertinent to uterus and pregnancy mostly. It occurs primarily in gonads but rarely in extragonadal sites. Primary hepatic choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare tumor. Most of the reported cases are seen in infants representing metastasis from an occult placental choriocarcinoma. Till date, only 7 cases of primary hepatic choriocarcinoma in adults have been reported in literature. We present a case of a 40-yearold male presenting as haemoperitoneum due to ruptured hepatic tumor. He underwent emergency left lateral segmentectomy. He died on 10th postoperative day. The surgical specimen and autopsy findings confirmed it to be primary hepatic choriocarcinoma. This is the first case report from Indian Subcontinent. A brief case report and review of literature is presented. Full article
