Splenic window, 3.Subxiphoid pericardial window, 4.Suprapubic window, FAST scanning has a 56 %sensitivity in identifying, pericardial fluid and 80 to 90 %specificity but, currently has poorly defined role in identifying, cardiac trauma., eFAST, Extended focused assessment with sonography for, trauma (eFAST) scanning, in addition to the, standard FAST scan views, assesses the thoracic, cavities, with two views
