How to perform percussion and palpation of abdomen?

[saudlinks2]

if u r left handed it is allowed to be in left side

[emmanuelmarkfrancis]

You do not need to be at the right side of the patient in attempting to ballot the kidneys. It's a bilateral structure. You need to be at the right side of the patient when palpating the liver/spleen.

That guy's pants are entirely too big for him.

Fools you cannot palpate (or catch the left kidney on the right side. It is the ONLY time that you move from right to left side. Notice for his percussion he went back to the right side. Thanks for the video.

@hopefulbeef  - Infection control isnt only an issue for invasive procedures. It also occurs with skin to skin contact transmitting pathogens between patients, commonly C.Diff, MRSA and stuff like Noro virus, or in this case with shirt sleeves acting as a fomite. Search "Bare Below the Elbows" if you want more info...

thank you. 

[tannim101]

you also have long sleeves on and a watch and bracelet... poor infection control... sorry

@tannim101 thats how doctors are.. I am a nursing student and i dont like how doctors wont use PPE when needed. I had a cdiff patient and the doctor just walked in there without any precaution.

should be at the right side of patient

sorry mister, if u perform like this during short/ long cases......absolutely FAIL!!!

[missiondigitalseema]

@zuhairi59 see again doctor is on the right side of patient only, any doubts

[bravehearty49]

@missiondigitalseema btw it's allowed to be on the left side of the patient while palpating the left kidney by bimanual method to be easier or in hooking method for examining the spleen otherwise, you must be always at the right side of the patient

@zuhairi59  not during kidney palpation though

[yauhoilun]

Makes sense

[aimannadiah]

wrong position, should be at patient's right hand side when palpating for kidneys

[missiondigitalseema]

@aimannadiah you are correct, doctor should be at right side of patient while palpating kidney

[infntecheezcake]

@missiondigitalseema all of this should be done on the right side of the patient, however when palpating the left kidney is the only time the examiner can go to the left side of the patient

[aimannadiah]

wrong position.should be on patient's right hand side
