<p begin="00:00:12.167" end="00:00:15.543" style="s2">the right upper quadrant<br />view of the FAST exam.</p>
<p begin="00:00:15.543" end="00:00:17.461" style="s2">The orientation marker is directed</p>
<p begin="00:00:17.461" end="00:00:19.301" style="s2">towards the patients head.</p>
<p begin="00:00:19.301" end="00:00:23.018" style="s2">The transducer is placed<br />in a long axis orientation</p>
<p begin="00:00:23.018" end="00:00:25.466" style="s2">along the right mid-auxiliary line between</p>
<p begin="00:00:25.466" end="00:00:28.380" style="s2">the 7th to 9th inter-costal space.</p>

<p begin="00:00:31.659" end="00:00:34.326" style="s2">will help eliminate rib shadows.</p>
<p begin="00:00:35.740" end="00:00:39.277" style="s2">To evaluate the entire area<br />of the hepatorenal recess</p>
<p begin="00:00:39.277" end="00:00:41.860" style="s2">for free fluid sweep the transducer</p>
<p begin="00:00:41.860" end="00:00:45.188" style="s2">from an anterior to posterior position.</p>
<p begin="00:00:45.188" end="00:00:47.958" style="s2">If present, fluid will appear as a dark</p>

<p begin="00:00:51.605" end="00:00:55.078" style="s2">If it is difficult to visualize<br />the hepatorenal recess.</p>
<p begin="00:00:55.078" end="00:00:57.402" style="s2">A deep inspiration will move the diaphragm</p>
<p begin="00:00:57.402" end="00:00:59.322" style="s2">and other structures in this area</p>
<p begin="00:00:59.322" end="00:01:02.882" style="s2">down and below the ribs for easier access.</p>
