  2. CASE 1 • A 46 year old businessman is brought to the Emergency Room with the sudden onset of severe generalized abdominal pain occurring one hour previously.

  3. CASE 1 • List your tentative differential diagnosis and how you would proceed to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

  4. CASE 1 • A 46 year old businessman is brought to the Emergence Room with the sudden onset of severe generalized abdominal pain occurring one hour previously. • Vital signs are: BP 100/60, P 120, RR 28.

  6. CASE 1 • A 46 year old businessman is brought to the Emergence Room with the sudden onset of severe generalized abdominal pain occurring one hour previously. • Vital signs are: BP 100/60, P 120, RR 28. • He is pale and sweaty with a rigid tender abdomen and no bowel sounds.

  7. CASE 1 • List your tentative differential diagnosis and how you would proceed to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

  9. CASE 1

  10. CASE 1 • Assuming that X-ray shows free air and initial resuscitation has been successful, what further treatment would you recommend? • Are there alternatives? • Describe them.

  11. CASE 1 • Definitions or Semantics? Fuzzy Thinking? • Treat conservatively • Treat Medically • Treat Surgically • Treat radically • Treat Operatively • Treat Non-operatively
