Positive FAST exam at the caudal liver edge
Ultrasound isn't as sensitive for solid organ injury, but sometimes...Always check that liver edge!
POCUS is not sensitive to detect small amount of fluid in some situations as well. Injury to spleen and liver cannot be ruled out conclusively. The value is in the positive findings. Great tip to observe the liver edge.
Caudal Edge of the Liver in the Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ) View Is the Most Sensitive Area for Free Fluid on the FAST Exam - https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2w
