  • THE ACUTE ABDOMEN Definition Abdominal ​Pain​ of Short Duration
    THE ACUTE ABDOMEN Definition Abdominal pain of short duration that is usually associated with muscular rigidity, distension and vomiting, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and which requires a decision whether an emergent operation is required. Problems and management options History and physical examination are central in the evaluation of the acute abdomen. However, in an ICU patient, these are often limited by sedation, paralysis and mechanical ventilation, and obscured by a protracted, complicated in­hospital course. Often an acute abdomen is inferred from unexplained sepsis, hypovolaemia and abdominal distension. The need for prompt diagnosis and early treatment by no means equates with operative management. While it is a truism that correct diagnosis is the essential preliminary to correct treatment, this is probably more so in non­operative management. On occasions, the need for operation is more obvious than the diagnosis and no delay should be incurred in an attempt to confirm the diagnosis before surgery. Frequently fluid resuscitation ​ ​ and antibiotics are required concurrently with the evaluation process. ​ ​ The approach is to evaluate the ICU patient in the context of the underlying disorder and decide on one of the following options: ∙ Immediate operation (surgery now)– the ‘bleeder’ e.g. ruptured ectopic pregnancy, ruptured abdominal ​ ​ aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the salvageable patient ∙ Emergent operation (surgery tonight)– the ‘septic’ e.g. generalized peritonitis from perforated viscus ​ ​ ∙ Early operation (surgery tomorrow)– the ‘obstructed’, e.g. obstructed colonic cancer ​ ​ ∙ Radiologically guided drainage – e.g. localized abscesses, acalculous cholecystitis, pyonephrosis ​ ​ ​ ∙ Active observation and frequent re­evaluation – e.g localized peritoneal signs other than in the RLQ, ​ ​ ​ selected cases of endoscopic perforation .

  • Foreign Body Imaging-Experience with 6 Cases of Retained Foreign Bodies in the Emergency

The involuntarily or accidentally, and complicated cases with the retained foreign body may come to the emergency services, which may require rapid and adequate imaging assessment. Materials and methods: We share our experience with six different cases with retained foreign bodies, who visited emergency radiological services with acute presentation of symptoms. The choice of radiological investigation considered based on the clinical presentation of the subjects with a retained foreign body. Conclusion: Patients with the retained foreign body may present acute symptoms to the emergency medical or surgical services, radiologists play a central role in rapid imaging evaluation. Radiological investigation plays a crucial role in identification, localization, characterization, and reporting the complication of the retained foreign bodies, and in many scenarios, radiological investigations may expose the unsuspected or concealed foreign bodies in the human body. Ultimately radiological services are useful rapid assessment tools that aid in triage and guide in the medical or surgical management of patients with a retained foreign body.
