How To Write A Case Report Patient M's Lower Abdomen
At 1915, I gave handoff report to Nurse C. At this time, Patient M’s vital signs remained stable: heart rate 71, Blood pressure 116/75, respirations 15, O2 saturation 97% on room air. As Nurse C and I assessed Patient M’s groin site, we noted an increasing amount of moderate light red drainage to Patient M’s dressing. Patient M complained of 7/10 pain to his right femoral site and right lower quadrant of his abdomen upon palpation. Patient M’s lower abdomen also felt firm.

    In the late 19th century, Friedrich Trendelenburg (1844-1924) (Fig. 2), a German urologic surgeon, popularized the use of a supine position, with the feet raised higher than the head to facilitate surgical access to the abdominal and pelvic viscera. This position was coined the Trendelenburg position which to this day still bears his name. Years later, during the First World War, the American physiologist Walter B. Cannon adopted this position to displace blood from the lower extremities to enhance venous return in the treatment of hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock. This action was thought to cause an “autotransfusion” to the central circulation, increasing right and left ventricular pre-loads, stroke volume, and cardiac output or cardiac index. Although Cannon changed his opinion on the benefits of the Trendelenburg position, a decade later, its use continued to spread.…
