Background And Objectives: Infrequent preoperative goals of care (GOC) documentation leads to challenges in medical decision-making when patients experience postoperative complications. We evaluated the feasibility of enhancing GOC documentation through a patient portal-based values questionnaire.
Methods: A patient values questionnaire (PVQ) was distributed to patients before their Gynecologic Surgical Oncology clinic appointments via an electronic health record (EHR)-based portal from June to October 2023.
An isolated perforation of the duodenum is rare in cases of blunt abdominal trauma, and diagnosis is often delayed due to subtle clinical signs. We present the case of a 13-year-old male patient who presented to the hospital with an alleged history of being run over in the abdomen by a vehicle and a complaint of severe abdominal pain. Radiography of the abdomen in the standing position showed air under the diaphragm, and ultrasonography revealed free fluid in the pelvic and peritoneal cavities, clinching the diagnosis of hollow viscus perforation.
