FAST focused assessment with sonography for trauma
*Case 6 was Caucasian, and all of the others were Asian
**This study defined aortic zone 0 as placement on the head side of the left subclavian artery bifurcation, which is a non-standard location. Case 22 was not inflated, and no complications occurred
