Use Access Emergency Medicine to Walk Through Case Studies
Sample Case for Acute Abdominal Pain:
You are working in the emergency department (ED) of a 15-bed rural hospital without CT scan capabilities, and a 25 year-old, previously healthy woman presents for evaluation of abdominal pain. The patient describes her pain as having been present for the past 3 days. The pain is described as constant, exacerbated by movements, and associated with subjective fevers and chills. She denies any recent changes in bowel habits, urinary symptoms, or menses. Her last menstrual period was 6 days ago. The physical examination reveals temperature of 38.4°C (101.1°F), pulse rate of 110 beats per minute, blood pressure of 112/70 mm Hg, and respiratory rate of 18 breaths per minute. Her skin is nonicteric. Cardiopulmonary examination is unremarkable. The abdomen is mildly distended and tender in both right and left lower quadrants. Involuntary guarding and localized rebound tenderness are noted in the right lower quadrant. The pelvic examination reveals no cervical discharge; cervical motion tenderness and right adnexal tenderness are present. The rectal examination reveals no masses or tenderness. Laboratory studies reveal white blood cell (WBC) count of 14,000 cells/mm3, a normal hemoglobin, and a normal hematocrit. The urinalysis reveals 3-5 WBC/high-power field (HPF), few bacteria, and trace ketones.
