dc.description.abstractAim To evaluate the usage of inspiration, expiration, cough, and heel drop jarring tests that are applied for determination of peritonism in cases with acute abdominal pain. Methods A prospective study based on observation of patients between 16-65 years of age and presented to the Emergency Department within a 3-month period starting from June 2007, was conducted. The patients were asked to rate their pain level between "0" and "10". Following the measurement of the vital signs, 4 tests were conducted by an emergency medicine resident. The medical records of all the patients were reviewed after 3 months. Data concerning clinical diagnosis, hospital admission and discharge processes, and surgical results, were all recorded. Results Seventy-seven patients had peritonism tests performed. Inspiration test was positive in 29 (of 51, 56.9%) patients admitted to the hospital. However, there was no correlation between the cases admitted to the hospital and the other 3 tests (p>0.05). Twenty-one (of 34, 61.8%) patients which have been subjected to surgical treatment, showed positive inspiration test results. Surgical treatment was performed on nine (of 11, 81.8%) patients who showed positive results for all 4 tests. Conclusion The applied tests are helpful in determining a serious abdominal disease, particularly alongside findings of rebound, tenderness, and laboratory results.
