Spearman correlation analysis showed there wasno significant association between ATT score and A-FAST (r=0.04, P=0.75), and ATT score and T-FAST (r=0.140, P=0.33) in traumatized dogs.In conclusion, FAST should be performed for urgent diagnosis of possible thoracic or abdominal pathological findings in traumatized dogs,regardless of ATT score.

Abstract

FAST (focused assessment with sonography for trauma) is an ultrasound protocol developed to assess conditions such as pneumothorax,hemothorax, hemoabdomen, bladder rupture, and organ damage due to trauma. It is performed at the time of presentation of a trauma patientfor rapid diagnosis. The aim of this study is to compare the results of FAST and ATT (Animal Trauma Triage) scoring system, which are among thefirst triage examinations, and to determine whether they support each other. Material of the study consisted of 50 dogs (diff erent breed, sexand age) presented in years between 2019-2020 to Selcuk University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Surgery Clinics with traumahistory within 24 h. FAST and ATT scoring system were performed for each dog. ATT score of 50 traumatized dogs was evaluated by dividinginto 3 categories; ATT scores of 21 dogs were good (0-5), 19 dogs were moderate (6-11), and 10 dogs were poor (12-18). Thoracic and abdominalabnormal findings were detected by T-FAST in 12 dogs (24%) and by A-FAST in 10 dogs (20%). Spearman correlation analysis showed there wasno significant association between ATT score and A-FAST (r=0.04, P=0.75), and ATT score and T-FAST (r=0.140, P=0.33) in traumatized dogs.In conclusion, FAST should be performed for urgent diagnosis of possible thoracic or abdominal pathological findings in traumatized dogs,regardless of ATT score.

Özet

FAST (travma için odaklanılmış sonografi) travmaya bağlı pnömotoraks, hemotoraks, hemoabdomen, idrar kesesi rupturu, organ hasarı gibi durumların değerlendirilmesi için geliştirilmiş bir ultrasonografi protokolüdür. Hızlı teşhis için travma hastasının sunumu sırasında uygulanır. Çalışmada travmatize olmuş köpeklerde ilk triyaj muayenelerinden FAST ve ATT (Animal Trauma Triage) skorlama sistemi sonuçları karşılaştırılarak, bu önemli triyaj muayene yöntemlerinin birbirlerini destekleyip desteklemediklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma materyalini; 2019-2020 yılları arasında Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Kliniği’ne travma şikayeti ile getirilmiş farklı ırk, cinsiyet ve yaştaki 50 köpek oluşturdu. Travma sonrası üzerinden 24 saat geçmemiş köpekler çalışmaya dahil edildi. FAST ve ATT skorlama sistemi her bir hayvan için uygulandı. Travma geçiren 50 köpeğin ATT skorlaması 3 kategoriye ayrılarak değerlendirildi; 21 köpeğin ATT skoru iyi (0-5), 19 köpeğin ATT skoru orta (6-11) ve 10 köpeğin ATT skoru kötü (12-18) bulundu. 12 köpekte (%24) T-FAST muayenesinde toraks bölgesinde, 10 köpekte (%20) A-FAST muayenesinde abdominal bölgede anormal bulgular belirlendi. Spearman korelasyon analizi, travmalı köpeklerde ATT skoru ve A-FAST (r=0.04, P=0.75) ile ATT skoru ve T-FAST (r=0.140, P=0.33) arasında önemli bir ilişki olmadığını gösterdi. Sonuç olarak, travma geçiren köpeklerde ATT skoru ne olursa olsun, olası torasik veya abdominal patolojik durumların acil olarak saptanması için FAST uygulanması gerektiği sonucuna varıldı.
