An abdominal condition of abrupt onset associated with severe abdominal pain

severe abdominal pain (resulting from inflammation, obstruction, infarction, perforation,

or rupture of intra-abdominal organs).

Acute abdomen requires urgent evaluation and diagnosis because it may indicate a condition that requires urgent surgical intervention

Acute Abdomen: Definition


Слайд 3 Visceral pain
Comes from abdominal/pelvic viscera
Transmitted by visceral afferent

Visceral painComes from abdominal/pelvic visceraTransmitted by visceral afferent nerve fibres in

nerve fibres in response to stretching or excessive contraction
Dull

in nature and vague
Poorly localised
Foregut ? epigastrium
Midgut ? para-umbilical
Hindgut ? suprapubic

Somatic pain
Comes from parietal peritoneum (which is innervated by somatic nerves)
Sharp in nature
Well localised
Made worse by movement, better by lying still

Referred pain
Pain felt some distance away from its origin
Mechanism not clear
Most popular theory: nerves transmitting visceral and somatic pain (e.g. from viscera or parietal peritoneum) travel to specific spinal cord segment and can result in irriation of sensory nerves that supply the corresponding dermatomes
E.g. Gallbladder inflammation can irritate diaphragm which is innervated by C3,4,5. Dermatomes of these spinal cord segments supplies the shoulder, hence referred shoulder tip pain.

Most diagnosis can be made on history and

examination alone, with investigations to confirm the diagnosis

diagnosis

SOCRATES
Site and duration
Onset – sudden vs gradual
Character – colicky,

sharp, dull, burning
Radiation – e.g. Into back or shoulder
(Associated symptoms – discussed later)
Timing – constant, coming and going
Exacerbating and alleviating factors
Severity
2 other useful questions about the pain:
Have you had a similar pain previously?
What do you think could be causing the pain?

Acute Abdomen: The History

Associated symptomsGI: bowels last opened, bowel habit (diarrhoea/constipation), PR bleeding/melaena, dyspeptic

PR bleeding/melaena, dyspeptic symptoms, vomiting
Urine: dysuria, heamaturia, urgency/frequency
Gynaecological: normal

cycle, LMP, IMB, dysmenorrhoea/menorrhagia, PV discharge
Others: fever, appetite, weight loss, distention

Any previous abdominal investigations and findings

Other components of history
PMH e.g. Could patient be having a flare up/complication of a known condition e.g. Known diverticular disease, previous peptic ulcers, known gallstones
DH e.g. Steroids and peptic ulcer disease/acute pancreatitis
SH e.g. Alcoholics and acute pancreatitis

Acute Abdomen: Investigations


Слайд 11 Urgent surgery should not be delayed for time

Urgent surgery should not be delayed for time consuming tests when

consuming tests when an indication for surgery is clear

The

following three categories of general surgical problems will require emergency surgery
Generalised peritonitis on examination (regardless of cause – except acute pancreatitis, hence all patients get amylase)
Perforation (air under diaphragm on E-CXR)
Irreducible and tender hernia (risk of strangulation)

Acute Abdomen: Investigations


Слайд 12 Peritonitis – inflammation of the peritoneum which maybe

Peritonitis – inflammation of the peritoneum which maybe localised or generalisedPeritonism

localised or generalised

Peritonism – refers to specific features found

on abdominal examination in those with peritonitis
Characterised by tenderness with guarding, rebound/percussion tenderness on examination
Peritonism is eased by lying still and exacerbated by any movement
Maybe localised or generalised

Generalised peritonitis is a surgical emergency – requires resuscitation and immediate surgery



Peritonitis


Слайд 13 Infective – bacteria cause peritonitis e.g. due to

Infective – bacteria cause peritonitis e.g. due to gangrene or perforation

gangrene or perforation of a viscus (appendicitis/diverticulitis/perforated ulcer). This

is the most common cause of peritonitis

Non-infective – leakage of certain sterile body fluids into the peritoneum can cause peritonitis.
Gastric juice (peptic ulcer)
Bile (liver biopsy, post-cholecystectomy)
Urine (pelvic trauma)
Pancreatic juice (pancreatitis)
Blood (endometriosis, ruptured ovarian cyst, abdominal trauma)
Note: although sterile at first these fluids often become infected within 24-48 hrs of leakage from the affected organ resulting in a bacterial peritonitis


Causes of Generalised Peritonitis


Слайд 14 Pain
Constant and severe (site will give clue as

PainConstant and severe (site will give clue as to cause, or

to cause, or maybe generalised)
Worse on movement (hence shallow

breathing in those with generalised peritonitis to keep the abdomen still)
Eased by lying still
If localised peritonitis – peritonism is in a single area of the abdomen
If generalised peritonitis – peritonism is all over abdomen with board like rigidity

Signs of ileus (generalised peritonitis > localised peritonitis)
Distention
Vomiting
Tympanic abdomen with reduced bowel sounds

Signs of systemic shock
Tachycardia, tachypnoea, hypotension, low urine output
More prominent with generalised than localised peritonitis

Clinical features of Peritonitis


Слайд 15 Diagnosis most often made on history and examination

If

Diagnosis most often made on history and examinationIf localised peritonitisInvestigations are

localised peritonitis
Investigations are those listed on “investigations for acute

abdomen” slide
All patients get simple investigations
Complex investigations are requested depending on suspected diagnosis (remember that some diagnoses do not require complex investigations and are entirely based on history and examination e.g. Appendicitis)

If generalised peritonitis
Surgical emergency – will require emergency operation
Following investigations should be performed:
Bloods: FBC, U&E, LFT, Amylase!! (acute pancreatitis can present with generalised peritonitis and does not require emergency surgery), CRP, clotting, G&S, ABG
AXR and Erect CXR
CT scan
Only if this can be performed urgently and patient is stable
If this can not be performed urgently or patient is unstable then for surgery without delay
Does not change management (i.e. Patients will need emergency surgery regardless) but useful as will identify cause of peritonitis therefore helping to plan surgical procedure
Other Time consuming complex investigations should not be performed as they will only delay definitive treatment (emergency surgery) and add very little
