What is meant by the acute Abdomen?

This is a term used by surgeons and emergency physicians to describe abdominal conditions that require surgical exploration. Most disease processes result from infection, obstruction, ischemia, or perforation. Examples of such conditions include an infected or perforated appendix, perforated gastric or duodenal ulcer, strangulated bowel, ruptured intraperitoneal abscess, ruptured spleen or liver, and ruptured ectopic pregnancy. A patient with an acute abdomen typically has a rigid-board-hard abdominal wall or rebound tenderness upon examination and prefers to lie still with minimal movement. He or she may complain about the bumps in the road during the car or ambulance ride to the hospital.

¿Qué se entiende por Abdomen agudo?

Es un término utilizado por cirujanos y médicos de urgencias para describir las afecciones abdominales que requieren exploración quirúrgica. La mayoría de los procesos patológicos son consecuencia de una infección, obstrucción, isquemia o perforación. Ejemplos de estas afecciones son el apéndice infectado o perforado, la úlcera gástrica o duodenal perforada, el intestino estrangulado, la rotura de un absceso intraperitoneal, la rotura del bazo o el hígado y la rotura de un embarazo ectópico. Un paciente con un abdomen agudo suele presentar una pared abdominal rígida o dura o sensibilidad de rebote a la exploración y prefiere permanecer inmóvil con un movimiento mínimo. Es posible que se queje de los baches de la carretera durante el trayecto en coche o en ambulancia hasta el hospital.
