Dr. Gregory Lisciandro, Dipl. ABVP, Dipl. ACVECC, received his DVM at Cornell, completed an internship at The Animal Medical Center in New York City, and performed his emergency and critical care residency at the Emergency Pet Center in San Antonio Texas. He developed and published the clinical utility of AFAST® and its target-organ approach for obvious soft-tissue abnormalities and its fluid scoring system; TFAST® and its use for pleural and pericardial effusion, pneumothorax, its echocardiography views, and its soft tissue assessment of the heart and thorax; and Vet BLUE® and its unique regional, pattern-based approach, its B-line scoring system, and its visual lung language. He has authored over 20+ peer-reviewed clinical studies that show the clinical utility of the Global FAST® approach.

It is an ultrasound exam developed by trauma surgeons (yes trauma surgeons) in the 1990s and used in people as a screening test for the detection of free fluid in the abdominal cavity, ascites, and the pleural cavity…
