Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the diagnosis performance of an initial lesion assessment by extended focused ultrasound (eFAST) (possibly associated with chest and pelvis x-ray) at the early phase of a severe trauma patient care in guiding first aid resuscitation and haemostasis.
The relevance will be judged on the therapeutic decisions taken (thoracic or pericardial drainage, thoracotomy or laparotomy, pelvic embolization, posture of a pelvic girdle, and early optimization of cerebral perfusion pressure) based on the initial ultrasound scan.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This trial is a national prospective cohort (6 French centers). Each participant will benefit from an initial lesion work-up by clinical examination, followed by an extended focused ultrasound (eFAST including abdominal ultrasound \[right upper, left upper, and suprapubic quadrant\], bilateral anterior and lateral pleuropulmonary ultrasound, sub-xyphoid pericardial ultrasound, transcranial Doppler), and possibly chest and pelvis frontal x-ray.
Based on clinical, radiographic and ultrasound data, the investigator will decide to perform immediate resuscitation and haemostasis gestures, or therapeutic abstention, before the realization of the complete lesion work-up by whole body CT scan.
This study could validate and strengthen the place of ultrasound in the initial severe traumatic patients' care and seems to be the continuity of the Peytel et al. research, studying new modalities of the eFAST. Our study could extend the scope and the conclusions of the Peytel et al. study to what is routinely done in the French and European Trauma Centers.
