2. I. Priorities of the subject
Objective examination of the surgical patient is one of the most important steps in
establishment of correct diagnosis, especially if the patient is unconscious. The diagnosis should
always be proved by data of objective examination. These data are also a basis for indications for
surgical treatment. Compilation of data of subjective and objective examination brings one to the
diagnosis establishment. Life and health of the patient depends on knowledge and attentiveness
of the doctor who manages with his objective examination.
II. The aim of training
A.1. Student should be acquainted with the following subjects:
– symptoms of surgical diseases
– main acute abdominal surgical pathology
– differentiating diagnosis
– pattern of investigation of surgical patient
– systems of evaluation of objective status of the patient (APACHE, RANSON,
SAPS)
A.2. Scope of the knowledge:
– basic method of objective examination of the patient
– definition of local status and its role in surgery
– consequence of objective examination
– inspection
– palpation
– percussion
– auscultation
– additional methods of investigation of surgical patient
– method of establishment of diagnosis
A.3 Student should be able to:
- perform an inspection of patient
- perform a palpation
- percussion percussion
- perform auscultation
- write down the results of objective examination into the patients natural
history
III. Training and educational objectives
1. To facilitate understanding the importance of complete objective examination of the
patient in order to establish correct diagnosis and indications for surgical treatment
2. To facilitate learning the principles of the medical ethics and the deontology in
patients’ examination.
3. The exemplify the importance of the knowledge of the subject.

V. Content of training
The patient’s objective examination (status praesens objectivus) is performed by means
of inspection (inspectio), palpation (palpatio), percussion (percussio), auscultation (auscultatio),
and measuring. This topic is thoroughly studied by students during the course of Propaedeutics
of internal diseases.
Performing the objective examination doctor should use all his sense organs, he should
take into consideration the patient’s status and the time that surgeon has.
The peculiarity of the surgical patient’s objective examination, especially in urgent
situations, consists in examination of the morbid area (locus morbi, status localis). Through the
examination of the morbid area the form, symmetry, presence of pathological formations should
be discovered. The inspection should be performed either during daytime or in the well-lighted
room. Usually, status localis demonstrates the symptoms typical for proper disease or its
complications. Data, obtained at diseased area examination should be separately filled in the case
history.
The second important task of surgeon is to determine the severity of the patient’s general
state, which can be satisfactory, medium severe (bad) and bad. Determination of the patient’s
state severity is important for admission to the intensive care unit.
The patient’s inspection (inspectio) is quite an informative method of examination which
starts with the moment of surgeon’s and patient’s meeting. Doctor should pay attention at the
peculiarities of patient’s walk, his face expression, body position, manner of speech, color of
sclera and skin, presence of rash and hemorrhages.
Palpation (palpatio) should be performed carefully and started with the body areas not
damaged by p0athoological process. Palpation can reveal presence, localization and intensity of
the tenderness in different body zones, muscles contraction and tension, local temperature rising
and falling, presence, consistence, configuration and size of pathological malformations, special
symptoms etc.
Measuring – is an important method to determine the extremities’ real length, joints’
mobility, extremities’ edema, tumor size and others.
The laboratory and instrumental examination methods provide the objective confirmation
of the diagnosis.
Diagnosis (identification) – is an accurately determined definition of the patient’s disease
based on the examination results and according to the State register of the diseases nomenclature.
A. Laboratory tests
Basic laboratory tests for surgical patient are:
- hemoglobin, hematocrit, leucocytes, platelets
- fibrin, fibrinogen, prothrombin index, partial activated thromboplastin time
- blood coagulation time
- sodium, potassium, chloride, transaminases (AlT, AsT)
- blood glucose
A. Chest X-ray
4. - indicated to all patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary pathology,
immune suppression, malignancies, specific anamnestic data (imprisonment,
homeless), as well as to all patient indicated for major surgical procedures.
B. Electrocardiography
Indicated to all patients elder then 40 years, as well a to all patients with signs of cardiac
insufficiency, rhythm disorder, coronary diseases (inc. myocardial infarction). In
cardiosurgical patients cardiosonography and coronaroangiography.
C. Spirometry
Is performed in order to define vital capacity of lungs and forced expiratory volume ( per
1 second). These test together wit blood gas analysis are important in patients who undergo
laparoscopic procedures. Methods as perfusion and inhalation scintigraphy, whole body
platismography, loaded blood gas analysis, pulmonary artery barometry, bronchoscopy are
indicated to patients who undergo pulmonary surgery.
D. Ultrasonography
Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound is very valuable method in investigation of parenchymal
organs. It is also a golden standard in diagnosis of cholelithiasis. Doplerography allows
examination of blood flow in major vessels and in organs.
E. Endoscopy
Is standard in investigation of hollow organs. These methods are:
fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy, rectoscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy. Modern
endoscopes allow investigation of choledochus, pancreatic duct and air sine of skull.
Endoscopy also allows performance of microsurgical manipulations.
F. Other visualization methods
Accept for ultrasound and X-ray, there are radioscintigraphy, computer tomography, magnet-
resonance tomography, positron-emission tomography (golden standard in diagnostics of
malignancies). These methods investigate either precise size, localization of organ or lesion,
or its function and character.
In all surgical patients endocrine pathology should be excluded (diabetes mellitus, hypo-
or hyperthyroidism, pathology of adrenal glands) because it may provoke bench of complications
intra- and postoperatively.
