Abstract
Use of portable ultrasound becomes common practice in mass casualty situations. The obtained information helps emergency crews to make decisions regarding on-site triage, helping in determination of adequate diagnostics in proper time for saving lives of patients. In this article a design of multilayered knowledge base in domain of the abdominal region ultrasound examination for the case of mass casualty situations is described. Layers 1-2 correspond to casualty's severity state, and layer 3 -- to pathologies when the free fluid is present in the abdominal cavity, that is not the consequence of an abdominal injury.
