Goals: Upon completion of this activity, you should be able to: (1) demonstrate medical decision-making based on the strongest clinical evidence; (2) cost-effectively diagnose and treat the most critical presentations; and (3) describe the most common medicolegal pitfalls for each topic covered. About This Issue: Patients with abdominal pain are common in the ED, but you need a strategy for quickly identifying patients who are at high risk for life-threatening causes of pain, and you need to order testing and consultation that improves the accuracy of your clinical assessment. • What are the 4 groups of patients with abdominal pain who are frequently misdiagnosed? • Why do elderly patients with appendicitis often have little or no abdominal pain? • In women of childbearing age, is there a realistic algorithm to distinguish gastroenteritis from appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, and PID? • What role should prior abdominal surgeries have in assessing abdominal pain? • What are the 18 high-yield historical questions to ask patients who present with abdominal pain? • Fever, high WBC, low blood pressure, tachycardia: how reliable are these in pointing to a cause for abdominal pain? • Pain location, migration, tenderness, and guarding: what each one can (and can’t) tell you about what is going on. • When pelvic and testicular exams are must-dos. • What are the highest-yield lab tests? CBC? Lipase or amylase? CRP? • When x-ray is all you need, and when CT is a must. • Will opioids make diagnosis more dif?cult? Objectives: Upon completion of this article, you should be able to: • Describe the life-threatening etiologies of abdominal pain and how they present. • Identify the most commonly missed diagnoses in abdominal pain. • Identify the “high-risk” patient with abdominal pain.
