I use a Littman classic. At first you are listening for one thing: is there sound? If you hear no bowel sounds (gurgles), listen for a full minute. If you hear sounds, then are they faint and far between or so many that there is never a break. Chart what you hear

If the patient is an abdominal post op patient e.g. endovascular coiling due to hepatic bleeding and the pain is in control, can we still do that deep and specialised palpation to check the liver?

i appreciate this very much. what would be great is to have a video that goes over the proper/expected report. Ex: when reporting color should you just say expected for ethnicity, or include no jaundice, cyanosis, redness, bruising, striae, etc? what would be the minimum acceptable, but still covering everything. thank you!

Great, Why did you do Percussion before palpation?

@NurseMinder 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! The palpation should be before percussion- in the abdomen the important thing to note is auscultation needs to be before palpation for a couple of reasons 1) it is said palpation can alter the frequency of resting bowel sounds and 2) if you palpate and it is tender - you may not have the ability to complete your assessment because the patient will refuse

Si ma non è la stessa cosa fare un autoesame dell'addome, con la propia mano è sempre piu' semplice, mentre la mano estranea puo' alterare la percezione oppure puo' rendere l'addome non trattabile, ma non perche' il paziente ha dolore ma perche' non è abituato a sentire mani estranee che gli toccano la pancia, oppure perche' soffre il solletico, per cui esistono molte variabili nella pratica.
