ABD3:
This image depicts a mass in the bladder. Although labeled thrombus, this image would lead the provider to evaluate this mass further, as it may not be a thrombus. Biopsy may be considered for bladder mass.
ABD4:
This image depicts a mass in the bladder. This image would lead the provider to evaluate this mass further via cystoscopy and possible bladder biopsy. Urology should be consulted.
ABD5:
This video depicts a positive FAST exam. As you can see there is free fluid surrounding the renal pelvis. This would require emergent evaluation by surgery.
ABD6:
This image is a still image that depicts free fluid in the abdomen and would indicate a positive FAST. This would require emergent evaluation by surgery.
ABD7:
This video depicts a positive FAST exam and emergent surgical evaluation would be required.
