Material and methods: The authors aimed to develop an ultrasound protocol dedicated to patients\nwith multiorgan trauma based on the following: Advanced Trauma Life Support management (ABCDE\nprotocol), available ultrasound protocols for trauma patients, known point-of-care cardiac protocols, and\nthe authors\u2019 experience. The indications for the test and the technical requirements necessary for its proper\nexecution are also specified, and the technique of performing the CRAFT test is described. Results: POCUS-\nCRAFT represents five components of trauma patient evaluation. C (Cranium): Transcranial Doppler\nor transorbital ultrasound to assess for elevated intracranial pressure; R (Respiratory): Evaluation of the\nchest for pneumothorax and pleural hematoma; A (Abdomen): Evaluation of the peritoneal and pelvic cavity\nfor free fluid; F (Cardiac Function): Diagnosis of pericardial tamponade and assessment of left ventricular\nsystolic function; T (Trauma Integration): Integration of ultrasound findings with a complete physical\nexamination of the trauma patient, with emphasis on the clinical context. Conclusions: POCUS CRAFT\nis an integrated ultrasound protocol designed for trauma patients. It expands upon the eFAST protocol by\nadding components for neurological and functional myocardial evaluation. Currently, CRAFT is the only\npoint-of-care protocol that incorporates trauma-related sequelae that can be detected by ultrasound while\nhighlighting the importance of clinical context.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15557\/jou.2025.0018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T14:49:56Z","timestamp":1767019796000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["POCUS-CRAFT: a novel integrated ultrasound trauma protocol"],"prefix":"10.15557","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5917-6537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Czerwiec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Academy of Applied Sciences in Nowy Targ, Poland; S\u0105deckie Emergency Medical Service, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4398-1289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorota","family":"Sobczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Diseases, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, Poland; Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantology Department, St John Paul II Hospital, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"6250","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
