[Possibilities for using emergency abdominal ultrasound study and its significance in acute diseases of the abdominal cavity].
Studies were conducted by the authors' of this paper into the diagnostic value of ultrasonic examination to clear up suspicion of acute abdominal problems, with 381 examinations being actually evaluated. Definitely valid diagnosis was obtained from the method in 37.7 per cent of these cases. The tentative diagnosis was invalidated in 18.2 per cent. The results are compared with literature data. Continued systematic use of the approach is recommended. It would bring down the time required for diagnosis and might provide another possibility of supporting the diagnostic effort which is quite difficult, when it comes to acute abdominal problems.
