Abstract

Blunt torso injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, requiring rapid and accurate diagnosis to guide management. The Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (EFAST) is a portable, non-invasive tool for detecting thoracoabdominal 
injuries. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of EFAST compared to computed to mography (CT), the gold standard, in evaluating blunt torso injuries
