Episode 22 – Four Quadrant Death Hunch - Abdominal Emergencies
Abdominal pain is one of the most common — and most underestimated — complaints in EMS. In this episode, we break down abdominal emergencies through anatomy, assessment, and red flags that should immediately raise concern. From peritonitis and appendicitis to abdominal aortic aneurysms and referred pain, we focus on what EMTs need to recognize early and why “just belly pain” is never something to ignore.
