摘要
This is the response to the letter by Souadka et al. regarding “Impact of early FAST ultrasound on severe trauma outcomes: a randomized trial in a low-resource African emergency setting (The ALIFAST Trial)”. We address each of the comments raised, point by point.
Dear Editor,
We thank Drs. Ghannam and Souadka for their thoughtful comments on our randomized trial evaluating early FAST in severely injured patients in Morocco. Their letter highlights important methodological and system-level considerations that are central to interpreting our findings and to shaping the next phase of research and implementation in low-resource trauma systems.
