not really, this is probably not even 1% of what med school teaches you, well, technically, medical school doesn't teach you anything, it is mostly self study.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:15 🩹 *This video covers abdominal assessment steps, focusing on key aspects and special populations like infants, children, and the elderly.* 01:00 🚹 *Assess the abdomen's appearance, checking for symmetry, bulges, discoloration, and signs of malnutrition or obesity.* 02:06 🔊 *Begin auscultation in the right lower quadrant, listening for bowel sounds, which are normal high-pitched gurgles. Absent bowel sounds may indicate abdominal obstruction.* 03:27 🥁 *Use percussion to assess the abdomen, distinguishing between flat, dull, resonant, hyper-resonant, and tympanic sounds, helping identify air, fluid, or dense tissue.* 09:08 ✋ *During palpation, use light and deep pressure to check for tenderness, masses, and rigidity. Assess specific organs like the liver, spleen, kidneys, and bladder.* 11:28 💓 *Palpate the aorta to gauge its width and pulsations. Lateral pulsation may indicate an aortic aneurysm. Check for rebound tenderness and perform the Murphy sign to assess gallbladder inflammation.* 13:05 👶 *For pediatric assessment, note the abdominal appearance, venous pattern, and symmetrical bulges. Be cautious with umbilical hernias, and pay attention to pulsations in the epigastric area.* 14:11 📚 *This comprehensive abdominal assessment guide provides essential steps for clinicians to focus on, ensuring effective examination and patient care.*

Why do you need to empty the bladder prior abdominal examination?

[@sksksladu5077]

it can be uncomfortable for the patient during palpation

[@mariellelubo172]

@@sksksladu5077 Thank you so much. 🥰

[@Euqinahs]

The patient can also involuntarily pee themselves.

[@flaminmongrel6955]

it can irritate the the rectum if you put pressure on the abdomen since the lumen is already distended from stool. In rare but sever cases of increased pressure due to an obstruction you may even have burst intestine subsequently leading to sepsis.
