    The main objetive is to prove that the ECOFAST is a method to detected free liquid in a abdominal trauma for laparotomy criteria. Method and Materials. With a descriptive design and a propositive fact were included since April 1st, 2006 until March 30th, 2007 fifty five patients with a diagnostic of abdominal trauma who are given the test of the ECOFAST at the Vicente Corral Hospital. Fourty three of this patients were operated using the laparotomy method and the rest “twelve” were kept under observation with awesome results. The analysis was based on the sensibility, specificity, likelihood ratio positive and negative. Results. The sensibility was 81.82%( IC95%: 61.14 a 96.49%), the specificity was 90 (IC95%: 66.41 - 100%); the likelihood ratio positive 8.18 (IC95%: 2.40 - 11.6) and negative 4.95 (IC95%: 2.28 - 21.63). The blunt abdominal trauma on this revision was 58.1% and most of them were caused by car accidents. The average age was from 33 +- 16.8 years. Discussion.
