Conditions

  • Free Air in Abdomen

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pre-Operative Transabdominal Ultrasound

Pre-Operative Transabdominal Ultrasound evaluation of the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Examination with be performed with low frequency curvilinear transducer and high frequency linear transducer at 5 standardized locations along the right costal margin followed by a 10 second sweep along the costal margin from the xyphoid process to the mid-axillary line
