The primary level of acute gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain emergency diagnosis
Abstract
The article discusses the emergency diagnosis of acute gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain, which are common in outpatient settings and remain a challenging problem for primary medical care. The aim was to develop simplified algorithms for medical care provision in such conditions. The differences in initial clinical conditions and the main diagnostic criteria are focused. The algorithms take into account the current clinical guidelines.
