==AAA==
 
 
-Measure outer wall to outer wall
 
-Nl aorta is <2.9 cm, must measure from below diaphragm in both planes to bifurcation!
 
 
==Cardiac==
 
 
-In parasternal view w/ dot pointing to Lt arm, the nl aortic root (to look for type A dissection) is <3.8 cm
 
-One trick is to find aorta & drop probe flat under ribs to see aorta.
 
 
==FAST==
 
 
-Always point dot to pt Rt (usu at 45 degrees) or @ pt head
 
-Morrisons pouch is best seen w/ probe around mid ax to ant ax line. This is the most sensitive spot to see fluid w/ pt in trendelenberg. Nd 150-500cc of blood to see here depending on skill of sonographer.
 
-Splenorenal put in post ax line. Nd 400-500cc blood to see
 
-Also chk bladder for free fluid in pelvis & pericardium for effussion
