Clinical Signs of Appendicitis
- Periumbilical pain: Initially, pain is felt around the navel and may be associated with nausea or vomiting.
- Quadrant shift: Over time, pain typically shifts to the lower right quadrant of the abdomen (McBurney's point).
- Rovsing's sign: Pain in the right lower quadrant is elicited by pressing on the left lower quadrant due to increased intra-abdominal pressure.
- Psoas sign: Pain is exacerbated by extending the right leg while lying down due to irritation of the psoas muscle.
- Obturator sign: Pain is elicited by internal rotation and extension of the right thigh when lying on the back (due to inflammation around the obturator internus muscle).
- Fever: Low-grade fever may be present.
- Leukocytosis: White blood cell count is often elevated.
- Tenderness and rebound tenderness: The abdomen is tender to palpation, especially in the right lower quadrant. Rebound tenderness (pain that is elicited when pressure is suddenly released) is a characteristic sign.
Clinical Features of Internal Hemorrhage
1. Progressive pallor: Due to blood loss, the skin and mucous membranes become pale.
2. Tachycardia: The pulse rate increases to compensate for reduced blood volume.
3. Hypotension: Blood pressure drops due to decreased blood flow.
4. Syncope (fainting): Occurs due to inadequate blood flow to the brain.
5. Confusion and disorientation: Impaired cerebral circulation can lead to cognitive dysfunction.
6. Nausea and vomiting: Internal bleeding can irritate the stomach and intestines, resulting in nausea and vomiting.
