complaints● Evaluate acute abdominal complaints utilizing observation,
inspection, auscultation, percussion and palpation● Formulate a differential diagnosis for acute abdominal
complaints based on exam history and findings● Identify red flags for emergent referral associated with
acute abdominal complaints

Pigmentation
Hernias
Swelling (6 F’s)
- Fat
- Flatus

![Page 18: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Key Findings on InspectionCullen’s Sign- Bluish periumbilical discoloration (bruising)- Pancreatitis, ruptured ectopic, ruptured spleen, ruptured common bile duct, perforated duodenal ulcer, ...
Grey Turner’s Sign
- Bruising of the flank(s) from subcutaneous blood tracking- Severe acute pancreatitis, severe abdominal trauma
Charcot’s Triad
- Fever + Jaundice + RUQ Pain- Infection of the biliary tract following biliary obstruction and stasis
![Page 19: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cullen’s sign
![Page 20: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Grey Turner’s Sign (UpToDate Graphic 95719 Version 1.0)
![Page 21: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Auscultation
ALWAYS auscultate before palpation (we don’t want to create sounds)
Diaphragm (deep pressure) → bowel sounds
Bell (gently rested) → vascular sounds
![Page 22: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Auscultation
Listen until you hear bowel sounds OR for a full minute
Normal frequency = 5-35 per minute
Bruits (aorta, renal arteries, iliacs, femorals) → blowing sound with the bell, could be related with aortic aneurysm or renal artery stenosis
Tinkling bowel sounds → high pitched sounds that are an early sign of small bowel obstruction
![Page 23: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Percussion
Percuss in all four quadrants
Tympany → gas/air
Dullness → fluid/feces
![Page 24: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PalpationPalpate in systematic fashion, avoid painful areas until last if possible (to avoid a “pan-positive” exam)
Do not be afraid to palpate areas of tenderness (you must examine in order to determine the characteristics of pain)
Liver (sometimes palpable, usually far right edge on inspiration)
Spleen (palpable spleen = enlarged spleen)
Kidneys (don’t forget to check CVA tenderness)
![Page 25: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Key Findings on Palpation
Blumberg’s Sign (aka Rebound Tenderness) - can indicate localized peritoneal irritation (i.e., appendicitis, pancreatitis, etc)
Appendiceal irritation - Psoas, Obturator, and Rovsing signs
Murphy’s Sign - cholecystitis
Markle Sign - abrupt abdominal pain and tenderness upon landing on heels from a tiptoe position - warrants urgent surgical consult (appy, SBO, perforation)
![Page 26: Brian G. Collins, MSPAS, PA-C, VAEMTP Lacey A. Collins ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030113/621cd7e3edee3d60e331b8c7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
