There are many advantages to the Hybrid Global FAST® Course that include:
- Less time commitment in person by your staff – 4-hour hands-on in-person dedicated scanning session
- The 6-hours of lectures are recorded and taken self-paced over the 3-weeks before the scanning session (quizzes must be passed to move on)
- *AFAST® – 2005 – Its target-organ approach, its fluid scoring system, its formula for estimating urinary bladder volume, and use for free air
- *TFAST® – 2005 – Its use for pericardial and pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and fundamental echocardiography from the right and left side
- *Vet BLUE® – 2010 – Its novel original regional, pattern-based approach for a rapid working diagnosis, wet versus dry lung, and signs of consolidation – Shred, Tissue, *Nodule, and *Wedge Sign
- Combined called “*Global FAST®” – 2010
- *These novel original formats were created and published by Dr. Greg Lisciandro
- Scanning session is performed on your machines to better learn their features
- More “probe time” and can focus on just image acquisition for the in-person scanning session
