15 1- Immediate Management of life threatening problems Patients appearance Evaluate responsiveness Assess ABC Record & review vitals Assess perfusion to brain & extremities Quick clinical examination of abdomen Rectal examination earlier than later

16 1- Immediate Management of life threatening problems Caution: Some pains are of non abdominal in origin like MI, PE, pneumonia, DKA & glaucoma. Identify candidate who require immediate surgery & who are hemodynamically. Start stabilizing the patient immediately & aggressively. Do not delay surgical consult if GIB, Leaking AAA & board like rigidity. Early decision making

17 Treat shock Insert 2 IV catheters 16 Obtain blood samples Crystalloids IV with boluses & see response O2 inhalation Foley s catheter ABGs NG Tube EKG Antibiotics

18 NEVER FORGET Persistent shock despite initial aggressive resuscitation in acute abdomen warrants immediate laprotomy. Prepare the patient for OR. Get the surgeon ready to operate.

19 2- Further evaluadon of padent with abdominal pain History Physical Examination Laboratory Examination Radiological Examination
