背景:
- 急性腹痛は緊急治療室 (ED) でよく見られる症状です.
- コントラスト強化腹腔CT (AP CT) は標準的なイメージング方式です.
- AP CTへのアクセスに関する既存の EDプロセスは複雑で時間がかかるものだと判明しました.
研究 の 目的:
- 急性腹痛のED患者のための診断経路を開発し,実装する.
- 急性腹部病理の患者でEDの滞在期間と処理時間を改善する.
- 無差別な急性腹痛の症例における高度なイメージングの効率を高めるために.
主な方法:
- 段階的かつ学際的なアプローチを伴う質の高い介入プロジェクトです.
- 放射線科,一般外科,緊急医療チームとの連携
- 主に静脈内コントラストを使用するためにAP CTイメージングプロトコルの修正.
- 実施前と実施後のデータ収集と分析
主要な成果:
- 停留期間における統計的に有意な改善 (p<0. 01).
- EDの到着からAPCTスキャンまでの時間が短縮する傾向 (p=0. 06).
- AP CTで有意な急性病理の診断率79.6%です.
結論:
- 急性腹痛の診断経路はEDの処理時間を効果的に改善しました.

Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

620
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
