AUTHORS:

Dr Aqdas Qayyum ,Dr Rida Saleem,Dr Mirza Mashaal Khan

ABSTRACT:

Aim of Study: At some points, evaluation of patients become extremely difficult when they present with acute abdominal pain issues with no other prominent disorder. Delay in the presentation and diagnosis of the issue can obscure the results and leave adverse outcomes for the patient. Multiple diagnosis techniques must be considered by clinicians, especially when the condition is life threatening and require immediate attention to limit mortality and morbidity. This article encapsulates the general information regarding abdominal pain, and some important steps of modus operandi are discussed to minimize the uncertainty of the case. Additionally, the approach for unstable patients with acute abdominal pain has also been discussed here. Evaluation of the emergency department patient with acute abdominal pain is sometimes difﬁcult. Various factors can obscure the presentation, delaying or preventing the correct diagnosis, with subsequent adverse patient outcomes. Clinicians must consider multiple diagnoses, especially those life-threatening conditions that require timely intervention to limit morbidity and mortality. This article will review general information on abdominal pain and discuss the clinical approach by review of the history and the physical examination. Additionally, this article will discuss the approach to unstable patients with abdominal pain. Evaluation of the emergency department patient with acute abdominal pain is sometimes difﬁcult.
