Abstrakt: e-FAST (Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) is an ultrasound protocol designed for the detection of peritoneal fluid, pericardial effusion, and pneumothorax/hemothorax in trauma patients. Ultrasound is a necessary diagnostic tool that greatly facilitates the detection of diseases and enables their proper treatment. The use of portable ultrasounds is very useful in emergencies. Because it is easy to transport to the scene of emergency intervention, it can give the doctor an insight into what is happening with the patient in the earliest moments and start treating him properly. This is extremely important in emergency medicine where seconds depend on whether the patient will survive or not. The workshop aims to educate medical students about the techniques of performing an ultrasound examination in the conditions of a family doctor’s office and an outpatient emergency medical service. The workshop would allow students to practice the manual skills of examining with a portable ultrasound device and give them opportunity to practise skills that are not sufficiently represented at the university but are very important in the clinical environment.
