It includes the slides
Today we will take about history and physical examination in general surgery and
anesthesia (because its included in pre-operative procedure).
*General rules in history taking :
1-Welcome the patient - ensure comfort and privacy2-Know and use the patient's name - introduce and identify yourself3-Set the Agenda for the questioning (history taking)4- Use open-ended questions initially
5- Negotiate a list ofall issues - avoid excessive detail initially
Chief complaint(s) and other concerns Specific requests (i.e. medication refills)
Clarify the patient's expectations for this visit - ask the patient "Why now?"
6-Elicit the Patient's StoryIts differ than history of disease which means: the progression of a disease .

7- Return to open-ended questions directed at the major problem(s)
8- Encourage with silence, nonverbal cues, and verbal cues
9- Focus by paraphrasing and summarizing
*patients: root of administration
Ex: if pt. has been transferred from ICU in basma hospital to ICU in king Abdulla
Hospital >> outer transfer
Ex: if pt. Has been administered to the medical care >surgical care >surgical
Team >> internal transfer.
*You have two types of presentations :
1- Cold present./complain > When pt. comes in out clinic and u begin ur
examination by take history (elective cases ) - in officelong duration ofcomplain
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
4/21
2- Hot present. / complain > When pt. are in emergencies, so u have 1st to
control his conditions then go u take history when he becomes stableinemergencyshort duration of complain .
Usually vomiting ,sever pain , mass can bring pt. to emergency .
How do I know if my pt. is stable?
Looking to him, body language, language contact, nonverbal language.
if my pt. is obeying my commands so he is at least 50%consiounes >> which
Indicates for normal wake up science.
*Components of the History
1-Chief complaintThis is why the patient is here in the emergency room or the office (out clinic).
U should concern about the duration and onset of it.
Examples: Shortness of breath for 2 days Chest pain of 3 hours Pt. with right upper quadrant colic pain from 2 horse, maybe its
gallbladder stones but it form in 2 h. So we think about other
diseases.
2- History of Present Illness
This is the detailed reason why the patient is here
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
5/21
We analysis the chief complain to know its effect on effected organ,system of the whole body.
It is the why, when and where, etc
Use the OPQRSTA approach to cover all aspects of information
OPQRSTA
Onset
When did the chief complaint occur Prior occurrences of this problem
Progression
Is this problem getting worse or better Is there anything that the patient does that makes it better or
worse
Using scaling system can help u to draw the line of painpresentation.
Quality
Is there pain, and if so what typehow would the patientdescribe it is words
Chronic pain = discontinuous = such as obstruction of lumen
GIT , biliary tract , urinary track
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
6/21
Continuous pain = dental caries, Abscess
Radiation
Do the symptoms radiate to anywhere in the body, and if so,where?
To know the side of presentation and from which organ orsystem is come
Scale
On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad are the symptoms Timing
When do the symptoms occur? At night, all the time, in the mornings, etc
Associated symptoms
Ask if there is anything else that the patient has to tell aboutthe chief complaint
To know other symptoms goes parallel with chief complain
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
7/21
Pain
Location Length of time Severity Qualit
3-Past Medical History These are the medical conditions that the patient has chronically and that
they see a doctor for.
Examples: Hypertension, GERD, Congestive heart failure, Diabetes, Asthma,
Thyroid problems, etc
4- Past Surgical History
These are any previous operations that the patient may have had Make sure to put how old the patient was when they occurred Include even those that occurred in childhood It will guide u to other investigations and help u to rule out others Examples:
Tonsillectomy, Hysterectomy, Appendectomy, Hernias,Cholecystectomy
Pt. with upper and lower right quadrant abdominal pain , his may beabdominal appendicitis , but if he had already appendectomy so I
should rule out this option .
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
8/21
5- Allergies
Make sure to ask about medication allergies and the reaction that thepatient has to them so u can think in other disease.
Ask about latex, food and seasonal allergies6-Medications
Include all meds the patient is oneven over the counter meds and herbals Try to include the dosages if the patient knows them Include how often the patient takes them
7-Social History
Things to include: Occupation Marriage status Tobacco usehow much and for how long Alcohol use Illicit drug use Immunization status
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
9/21
8-Family History
Ask if the patients parents, grandparents, siblings or other family membershad any major medical conditions
Examples: Heart disease, heart attacks, hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
diabetes, sickle cell disease, breast and colon cancer.
9- Review of Systems
The review of systems is just that, a series of questions grouped by organsystem including:
General/Constitutional Skin/Breast Eyes/Ears/Nose/Mouth/Throat Cardiovascular Respiratory Gastrointestinal Genitourinary Musculoskeletal Neurologic/Psychiatric Allergic/Immunologic/Lymphatic/Endocrine
*physical examination :
To improve or rule out the differential diagnosis that we had thought of.
Pt should be in supine position .
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
10/21
Pt. must feel comfort, privacy while we are diagnosing.U must be smart enough to look around pt. environment and know some of
complains (when u go to pt. home)
ex: if u found basket >> he may complain of vomiting
it includes :GeneralHeartLungsAbdomen (most important)ExtremitiesNeck -
GU if pertinent to the chief complaint
So u had to examine all that first then focused about ur target .
Make sure to include vital signs as part of this Develop a systematic approach for doing the physical exam
How to exam pts. ?
Neck >> expose the upper third of the body from the mid midline and up
Abdomen >> expose the middle line to the mid high line
Lower limbs > expose both of them and keeping in mind we are going to
compare both of them
( sorry , its not clear !! )
*Component of physical examination :
For some disease we have some disease to be performed to reflect something
1- Inspection1st: I check my anatomical layer, we usually start with the skin and focuseson the hidden areas .
Ex: while examining lower limbs, u should check nails and websitesbetween fingers and toes,
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
11/21
Color Vascularity Lesions Temperature Turgor Texture Wounds
Clubbing of Fingernails
2nd : I go to the subcutaneous layer which composes of fat and veins (no
arteries), I may found dilated vein, or superficial mass.
If pt have a dressing > so for sure he had traumatic injury , I can ask him to
remove it for good diagnosing .
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
12/21
3rd : to the Abdomen
Contour Size Bowel sounds Tenderness Palpate bladde
the abdominal wall .
All these >> increase the intraperitoneal pressure > then hernia will be shown
>> this is called : visible cough impulse
In Some cases, hernia is not shown such as obstructed or complicated one ,
so pt. in this case is directed to emergency
Ex: we have found a mass >> u should check five (s) :{ shapesites - side
surface } and the overlaying structure of that mass, surrenders and edges .
*the surface could be smooth , nodular , non nodular - charge discharges ,* if the mass is connected to the skin > so there if no overlaying structures
*We should check the symmetry of right side with left side of the abdomen,
contour of abdomen, if it flat or descended or scaphoid
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
13/21
Another way to check the abdominal wall:
*We should checkPattern of respiration:while respiration, our abdominal wall moves specially in female .
If I have inflammatory process inside my peritoneal cavity, then anymovement of the abdominal wall will irritate the peritoneum > feeling pain
Thats meanpt. with acute abdominal inflammation cant use his ant.
Abdominal wall in respiration, this indicates malignancy (sever not cancer)> so pt. have periodontitis > need surgery in most cases
Peritoneal content ( content of the abdomen ) , u may found intestinal
obstruction .
I can see huge mass in peritoneal cavity by examining symmetry
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
14/21
Retroperitoneal content , pt with huge liver or spleen .
Then retroperitoneal organs : aorta and pancreas.
Ex : hemorrhagic pancreatitis, and it will give a sign as subcutaneousbleeding
In aorta , we can check epigastric area by pulsation .
2- PalpationThis is the 1
sttime we touch the pt.
We can check his temperature (although checking temp. is a verbal cues
that should be checked before physical examination )
Its divided into:
Light / superficial Deep
Definition To examine the wall to examine the
content
What to check? Tenderness masses
- Muscle tone - Wall
defect
Deep tenderness
masses
ABOUT LIGHT PAPLATION
Ex : pt with subcutaneous lipoma , then when pt. cough the ant. Abdominal
wall will be contracted and the lipoma will pushed upand thats what called
visible cough impulse >> u may think that its hernia, but it is not, why ?? >> if
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
15/21
u pulped it again and again , there will be no pulpal cough impulse and no
Fascial defect >> so its not hernia
Hernia: its a primary pathology in the fascia of ant . Abdominal wall .
ABOUT DEEP PALPATION
U can divide it into 4 major area or nine sub-ones, but keep in mind u had to
examine clockwise or counter clock wise
In any cases that u found a mass u have to write the five( s ).
3- PercussionIts specific test that is done for the pt. to give him a cue about hidden content
in the peritoneal cavity , we divided the sound result into : tympanic , resonance
,hyperesonance , dullness , flatness
Then u can complete ur examination using telescope until u reach target organ .
(49:5 49 :34) !!!
*When u hear the sound u have to know : Site intensity duration frequency
of it >> these are called general survey
4-Auscultation
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
16/21
*General Survey
Age, sex, race Body build, height, weight Posture and gait
If pt have acute appendicitis and he his obese , this fat will act as isolator to
the syndrome to appear , so pt. will only feel abdominal pain and loss apatite
, also he will have abnormal gait
Hygiene and grooming Signs of Illness Affect Cognitive Processes
*Head and Neck examination
Inspect scalp and hair Facial Symmetry Ears Inspect Nose Mouth
Checks the skin over the neck and head, u know that the Sternocleiodmastoid
muscles divided the neck into ant. And post. Triangle
Neck ROM
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
17/21
Lymph Nodes Palpate trachea Palpate carotids Auscultate carotids
Assess for JVD
*This is superficial lymph node enlargement.
*Post. Triangular lymph node or lymphopathy is more serious than ant. Ones
because in most cases the ant. Lymph node are infectious but the post ones
either TP or malignant.
By looking to the external jangler vein and palpate it , we can take a cue about
the hemodynamic static of the pt. how ?
All the body veins are valved veins except the portal and head and neck veins , so
if u lay down and hang ur head below ur heart then u will feel pressure inside ur
head because blood rushed to ur heads .
In most of the times, ur head is above ur heart, in this status, the blood will be
drop dynamically down to ur heart .
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
18/21
*Chest examination
We should calculate the respiratory rate
Respirations labored unlabored
Chest shape
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
19/21
Chest symmetry Breath sounds
These are the sites in which we put our telescope in order to hear the
respiratory sounds; it should be symmetrical in right and left
*Extremities
ROM present ( rang of movement ) Strength Capillary refill > it will reflect the perfusion to the target Peripheral pulse > help in knowing if pt. have peripheral vascular disease Edema Nails
*Assessment and Plan
This is what you think is wrong with the patient, and what you plan to doinitially during admission
so u may need to change ur primary deferential diagnosis after physical
examination .
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
20/21
Example:
-A/P: 1. Chest pain. We will admit the patient to the chest pain protocol. We will
get EKG every 8 hours times three, and cardiac enzymes every eight hours times
three, get a CBC, KFT, Lipid Profile, etc
-I may think of acute appendicitis then when I found a scar and re - ask the pt.
again about it , my diagnosis will change into appendicostomy .
After sitting ur 2nd deferential diagnosis , this will lead u to ask for 59:22 .,
then this will lead u to prepare ur pt to anesthesia
I may need chest x ray as a part of pre-operative assessment for anesthesia ,sometimes I cant ask pt .to have x- ray such in pregnant female .
classify ur pt into :
1- Pt fit for surgery and pre surgical intervention case
2- pt. is not fit for surgery
pt comes to emergency room in top of surgical intervention and have acute
appendicitis , and sometimes if we didnt do surgery then pt may have another
consequences.
**** so this case is divided into : fit for surgery and not fit
If the case is sever and the life life-threating , so we had to make the agreement
of the pt and this called conformed concept,we should tell the pt about his status
and what may happen if we do or not do the surgery .
7/29/2019 surgery - Lec 1
21/21
we may found pt beyond surgical intervention , And also these either to be fit or
not fit
Example : pt with metastatic breast cancer , and female start to complain fromthis Brest mass , Is she fit for surgery while the malignancy is over her body ?
this is what we called : the beyond surgical intervention
-we can make the surgery for cosmetic fake but this isnt radically
-the mass is in her Brest will not kill the pt. but the malignance spread will do.
*History and Physical
This will all become like second nature after you have done a few. Just stick to the same way you do the H and P each time, and you will do all
right.
>> Present and absent is important , we have 10 marks on attendance
Forgive me for any mistake, I tried my best .
