EDGE24: Management of Acute Abdominal Pain in the Elderly
EDGE24 Module 13 : Abdominal Pain in the Elderly Patient
Acute abdominal pain is a common cause of serious illness. As the population ages, emergency care will be increasingly confronted with elderly patients presenting with acute abdominal pain. It is vital to have a sound approach to the assessment, investigation and management of these patients as presentations with serious pathology can be subtle and easily missed in this population.
In this module we examine the red flags for serious illness to the elderly patient with acute abdominal pain, identify the life threatening conditions that may present in this group and consider the role of investigations to assist identifying or ruling out serious disease.
This topic assist the clinician to develop a structured and informed approach to assessment that will reduce the risk of missing serious disease in this population.
