    Hi dr Gill. At 1:42 you are checking something... but what? Looks like you are checking if the blue matches his skin tone?

      @DrJamesGill  4 роки тому +459

      We’re ensuring the size of the cuff is appropriate for his arm.
      Wrong sized cuffs can affect the blood pressure. We explain it a little more in the video “understanding blood pressure”

    This reminded me of the type i had a tumor in my ovary for over a year.
    STORY: I went to my dr to get checked since I was gaining weight fast, wasn't pooping, and looked pregnant. (I was in 8th grade). They did blood work, I took a pregnancy test, and my dr did an abdominal check. She felt something so she sent me to a small local hospital. There they did xrays, an ultrasound, and another pregnancy test. They ended up telling me that I had poop stuck in there and so they gave me medication to help me. Months passed and the pain got worse. It was so bad I couldn't get out of bed and 3 500mg pain killers did nothing. I went to me dr again and she did an abdominal check again. She told she didn't think it was poop and that i needed to go to bigger hospital ASAP. I was scared so I waited a month. In that month I couldn't even get out of bed. On the day I finally went, the hospital run xrays, an ultrasound, pregnancy test, and did some more blood work. Within 4 to 5 hours a dr came in and said, "yeah, your going to need emergency surgery. We don't know what it is. And whatever it is, it has taken over your entire ovary. So yeah your getting surgery tomorrow at 7am." When I got out of surgery he told me things were a bit complicated so he had to basically do a c section. He said that I had a tumor the size of a melon in my ovary and that my ovary was literally about to rip. He couldn't save my ovary but the good thing is that he took it out when he did since he said it could of caused cancer if it erupted. What was funny about his visit is that he brought in the tumor in a container that had some liquid. IT WEIGHTED 5 POUNDS! I was as fascinated as he was when I saw it. His eyes lit up like Christmas lights when he saw it. 😂
    For years I didnt know what caused it but finally, fast forward to today, 26 years old now. I just found out that I have PCOS... which *drumroll* causes tumors to grow in your ovary.
    Point of the story, GET YOUR ABDOMIN CHECKED!

    Great video, I’ve been watching this as a registered nurse to review some of my assessment skills I haven’t used in a while. One thing I noticed that was different from what I’ve been taught though is the order you assessed in. We were always taught to inspect, auscultate, percuss, and then palpate on an abdomen inspection since palpating May cause the bowels to produce some slight sounds that wouldn’t be there otherwise. Just wanted to throw that out there to highlight some of the difference in technique! Thank you for the videos they’re much appreciated!

    Hey Dr. Gill. It seems that in UK-based videos, the auscultation is done after the palpation and percussion, but in American-based videos, the auscultation is specifically done prior to the palpation and percussion, typically citing that it must be done in that order as the palpation and/or percussion could artificially alter the bowel sounds. I'm curious why this big difference seems to exist.

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  4 роки тому +3

      I’m honestly not sure. But given it’s my main academic subject, I did try to look at the literature, and as mentioned in the video auscultation is quite a weak sign in terms of assisting with the diagnosis. So doesn’t really matter I thin

    Dr. Gill, may I ask why you both palpated and percussed his abdomen before auscultating? For the abdomen you should always listen first so as not to alter bowel sounds with physical manipulation. I’m surprised that your video shows the incorrect order, there will be those that will learn this way from your video and it may be detrimental to their education.

    • @elizabethdociak8294
      @elizabethdociak8294 4 роки тому

      I was thinking the same, but maybe... is there something that we are mising? 🤔 Maybe there is new evidence...?

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  4 роки тому +3

      I’m sorry, but you are incorrect there
      The order for medical examination is “Inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation”
      The reason being that the auscultation is the weakest of the four areas
      I’ve heard previously that people incorrectly argue that auscultation should be done earlier as there was a thought auscultation could be affected by the other parts of the examination.
      The evidence, and the waiting of auscultations actually so weak that it’s the other way round, that information earlier can incorrectly sway a differential. For example only 25% of obstruction has the classically discussed “tinkling bowel sounds”
      Similarly, even the duration that an examiner listens for bowel sounds is now debated, with some research suggested lack of bowel sounds can be normal even as long as four minutes
      As Elizabeth mentioned, even in clinical skills the science evolves. Such as - during an English spoken exam - the change from having the patient say “ninety nine” to a correct diphthong.
      I don’t have the references to hand currently, but will come back later with a few papers showing the low quality of auscultation as a sign generally - which is why it is placed last
      😊

    • @kathrynmilligan4101
      @kathrynmilligan4101 4 роки тому

      I respectfully disagree but look forward to the References you intend to provide to support your claim. No one in the medical field would disagree that the order for physical examination is “Inspect, Palpate, Percuss, Auscultate” EXCEPT in the case of the abdominal exam. To assert that simply because auscultation is not as diagnostically beneficial as palpation that is a reason to ignore that physical manipulation of the abdomen can alter the bowel contents and disrupt potential findings seems to me, quite absurd. With that attitude why Auscultate at all? You are completing each in quick succession, palpating first allows no extra benefit while potentially hindering the effectiveness of auscultation.

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  4 роки тому +1

      Ok. Bowel sounds,
      As mentioned, may be absent for up to 4 mins in normal people, many textbooks, advocate for leashing for “at least 1 min”
      There is little evidence it support that the presence of normal bowel sounds ruled out an obstruction -
      First is a book refer - evidence based physical diagnosis - elsevier 2007
      One study has only 24% of people with confirmed bowel obstruction having absent bowel sounds
      Another has little correlation between auscultation and clinical condition. Abnormal bowels sounds only being correctly identified 26% of the time, and the paper stresses clinical decisions should NOT be made on basis of auscultation
      Here is one you can read online
      www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4566372/
      Use of bowel sounds in diagnostic is very poor, if you look at the studies - Felder et al shows a sensitivity of only 22% for SBO
      pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24776861/
      Bowel sounds only have a benefit it they are heard in that they may exclude pathology - which as we’ve seen is weak, the ppv of abnormal bowel sounds is 12.1% a strongly pushing the sign aside in terms of diagnostic relevance
      If we look at the causes of altered bowel sounds -
      Mechanical obstruction - so hernia, cancer, adhesions, volvulus - we get sounds due to the lack of normal oscillatory movement of the bowel contents - smooth muscle will itself begin to shut down with prolonged obstruction stopping peristalsis.
      - keeping auscultation last - as indicated in MacLeods clinical examination - will not affect this absence
      Infection
      Essentially inflammation of the smooth muscle stopping peristalsis - again no effect
      Ileus - post operatively
      We don’t KNOW why the bowel shuts down here, but again we think it is due to smooth muscle inflammation after manipulation.
      We can get an ileus with hypOkalaemia, reducing muscle activity due to hyperpolarisation of muscle cells - which again is not affected by palpation first
      - more than my own opinion. MacLeods clinical examination - one of the core textbooks for the U.K. and most of the medical world, maintains the standard - inspection, percussion, palpation and auscultation. The fact that that text book is held in such high regard, is currently on it’s 8th edition, and is edited by clinicians I can only ever dream of being at the same level of is enough for me to keep the current practice as taught in the U.K.

    Hi Dr Gill, I'm currently a second year medical student approaching her ISCEs and I was wondering whether I was able to check something. On palpating the liver borders, we have been taught to both palpate both the upper and lower border, to assess if there is a case of hepatomegaly or whether the liver is being displaced (therefore the upper border would/may become palpable on inspiration).
    Thank you!

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  2 роки тому +1

      I’ll double check, but I’m not sure how easy it is to PALPATE for the upper border
      Certainly you’ll PERCUSS for the change in tone, to delineate the upper and lower border however
      I’m very clear that I use MacLeods as a reference text - but for ease this discussion, here is a link to University of Washington, where they are also palpating the lower border, but percussing for both
