{"title":"Ultrasound of the acute abdomen--Part V.","authors":"R Herbert, R G White","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Patients with an acute abdomen have complaints of brief duration which must be properly diagnosed and treated to reduce mortality and morbidity. There are a few instances, mostly involving massive haemorrhage, where the patient's condition is so poor that minutes count and a delay in operation will result in fatality. Imaging techniques have no role in these circumstances. In the majority of cases, however, there is time to make use of the various diagnostic imaging methods available to help arrive at the correct diagnosis. The role of ultrasound in this setting has been reviewed. Our own experience supports the view that it is an important modality for the investigation of patients with acute abdomen. It should be available on a round-the-clock basis.</p>","PeriodicalId":77602,"journal":{"name":"Radiography today","volume":"56 640","pages":"27-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13394606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It describes the results of a survey which shows that a high proportion (90%) of those involved in barium examinations agree there is a relationship between the anxiety of the patient and the difficulty of the examination. Many of those involved in the examination (87%) report using methods which they think are effective in reducing patients' anxiety. There is little difference between the opinions of the various professional groups involved in barium enema examinations. From this research a list has been developed of the anxiety reduction techniques presently employed during barium enema examinations.
