CASE 1: A 65-yo male was a diagnosed of case of chronic gouty arthritis. He was advised to take Ibuprofen as a remedy if ever he experiences an attack. Because of financial constraints, he was unable to follow up with his rheumatologist regarding his gout and will usually double or triple the dose of Ibuprofen if the pain becomes severe or difficult to handle. Recently, the patient encountered recurrent gouty flares and has been taking his medication almost daily with double or triple the dose. The patient was eating his dinner with his family when he suddenly experienced epigastric discomfort. He initially tolerated it and drank 2 glasses of water to relieve the pain. The pain was described to be stabbing and steady in character. Around 2 hours after, the patient noted an increase in the severity of pain, noted to be pale and diaphoretic and was screaming in pain. He was brought to a DMSF Hospital where you are the clinical clerk on duty. 1. Extract additional information regarding patient’s history. 2. Perform the necessary assessment needed to diagnose the disease. 3. Give your initial impression on the case. 4. Correlate the symptoms with the patient’s risk factors to develop the disease considered. 5. Provide the necessary diagnostic modalities necessary to confirm or reject your initial impression. 6. Enumerate your plans for the patient.

CASE 1 - Answers

Source: Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 11th Edition - Chapter 26 (Stomach)

Question 1: Extract Additional History from the Patient

When you approach this patient, ask for the following additional information:

A. History of Present Illness (HPI) - Pain details:

Exact time the pain started (Schwartz states: "The patient can often give the exact time of onset of the excruciating abdominal pain" - this is a hallmark of perforation)
Any prior similar episodes of epigastric pain (suggests chronic PUD before perforation)
Any radiation of pain (to the shoulder - indicating diaphragmatic irritation from free air/fluid)
Presence of nausea, vomiting, or hematemesis

B. Medication History:

Exact dose and frequency of Ibuprofen being taken (doubling/tripling dose = high NSAID exposure)
Duration of NSAID use (chronic use vs. acute)
Any use of gastroprotective agents (misoprostol, PPI) alongside NSAIDs
Any use of aspirin, steroids, anticoagulants, or cocaine (all linked to PUD per Schwartz)

C. Past Medical & Surgical History:

Prior diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease
Prior GI bleeding or hematemesis/melena (patients with acute perforation AND GI blood loss "should be suspected of having a second ulcer or a GI cancer" - Schwartz p.1162)
History of H. pylori infection or treatment
History of smoking (Schwartz: "more than 90% of serious peptic ulcer complications can be attributed to H pylori infection, NSAID use, and/or cigarette smoking")
Alcohol intake

D. Family History:

Family history of gastric cancer, PUD, or H. pylori infection

E. Review of Systems:

Any change in bowel habits, melena (black tarry stools), or hematochezia
Weight loss (to rule out malignancy causing the ulcer)
Last meal eaten and time (relevant before surgery)

Why we ask this: Schwartz explains that PUD results from "an imbalance between mucosal defenses and acid/peptic injury" with NSAID use causing ulcers "predominantly by compromise of mucosal defenses." Additional history helps establish chronicity of disease, identify all risk factors, and rule out co-existing pathology like GI cancer or a second ulcer.

Question 2: Necessary Assessment to Diagnose the Disease

A. Vital Signs (immediately):

Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, O2 saturation
Note: patient is already pale and diaphoretic - assess for hemodynamic instability/shock

B. Physical Examination - focused on the abdomen:

The key findings to assess as described in Schwartz:

General appearance: Patient in obvious distress, writhing (chemical then bacterial peritonitis)
Inspection: Abdominal rigidity, distension, "board-like" abdomen
Auscultation: Absent or reduced bowel sounds (paralytic ileus from peritonitis)
Palpation:
- Involuntary guarding - Schwartz states: "marked involuntary guarding...is evoked by a gentle examination"
- Rebound tenderness - sign of peritoneal irritation
- Epigastric tenderness (site of perforation)
Percussion: Absence of hepatic dullness (suggests free air under diaphragm)

C. Additional clinical signs to check:

Shoulder tip pain (Kehr's sign) - referred pain from diaphragmatic irritation by leaked gastric contents
Signs of fluid sequestration - Schwartz notes: "Fluid sequestration into the third space of the inflamed peritoneum can be impressive"

Why we do this: Schwartz states that "perforated peptic ulcer usually presents as an acute abdomen" and that "the abdominal examination shows peritoneal signs" - meaning the physical exam is the key to clinical diagnosis before any imaging is done.

Question 3: Initial Impression

Initial Impression: Perforated Peptic Ulcer with Acute Peritonitis

Specifically, this is most likely a perforated duodenal ulcer given:

Chronic NSAID use (ibuprofen, double/triple dosing) in an elderly male
Acute onset of severe epigastric pain with rapid worsening
Systemic signs of peritonitis (pallor, diaphoresis, severe pain)

Schwartz states: "Perforation is the second most common complication of peptic ulcer, but nowadays it is a much more common indication for operation than bleeding. As with bleeding ulcer, NSAID and/or aspirin use have been inextricably linked with perforated PUD, especially in the elderly population." (Schwartz, p. 1162)

The timeline also fits: initial chemical peritonitis (first 2 hours, tolerable pain) followed by bacterial peritonitis (severe pain, systemic signs after 2 hours). Schwartz: "Initially, a chemical peritonitis develops from the gastric and/or duodenal secretions, but within hours a bacterial peritonitis supervenes."

Question 4: Correlation of Symptoms with Risk Factors

Risk Factor	Evidence in This Patient	Schwartz Explanation
NSAID use (Ibuprofen)	Daily use, double/triple dosing	"NSAID use causes ulcers predominantly by compromise of mucosal defenses" (p.1149). "NSAID and/or aspirin use have been inextricably linked with perforated PUD, especially in the elderly" (p.1162)
Elderly age (65 years)	65 yo male	"Incidence of emergency surgery and death rate...increased in elderly patients for complications of bleeding and perforation...due in part to increasingly common use of NSAIDs in this elderly cohort" (p.1148)
Chronic/excessive dosing	Doubling/tripling dose	Higher NSAID dose = greater mucosal damage; the final pathway is "acid-peptic injury of the gastroduodenal mucosal barrier" (p.1149)
No gastroprotection	No PPI prescribed alongside NSAID	Schwartz references "NSAID use (with and without ulcer prophylaxis) in an aging population" as a detrimental epidemiologic factor (p.1148)
No follow-up	Financial constraints, no rheumatologist follow-up	Chronic NSAID use without monitoring allows silent ulcer development leading to complications

Symptom correlation:

Initial stabbing, steady epigastric pain at dinner - sudden leakage of gastric acid/contents causing chemical peritonitis
Worsening pain at 2 hours with pallor, diaphoresis - progression to bacterial peritonitis as gut flora contaminate the peritoneal cavity
Schwartz: "The patient is in obvious distress, and the abdominal examination shows peritoneal signs" - matching the patient's screaming in pain with systemic signs

Question 5: Diagnostic Modalities

To confirm or reject Perforated Peptic Ulcer:

1. Upright Chest X-ray (FIRST LINE)

Look for pneumoperitoneum (free air under the diaphragm)
Schwartz: "Upright chest X-ray shows free air in about 80% of patients" (p.1152)
If patient cannot sit upright, left lateral decubitus abdominal X-ray is an alternative

2. Abdominal X-ray (Erect + Supine)

Detect free air, ileus pattern, loss of psoas shadow

3. CT Scan of the Abdomen and Pelvis (with oral/IV contrast)

More sensitive than X-ray for detecting small amounts of free air and free fluid
Identifies site of perforation, amount of peritoneal contamination
Rules out other causes of acute abdomen (pancreatitis, mesenteric ischemia)

4. Laboratory Investigations:

CBC - leukocytosis (infection/peritonitis), anemia (if co-existing GI bleed)
Serum electrolytes, BUN, creatinine - assess fluid/electrolyte status and renal function
Liver function tests
Serum amylase/lipase - rule out acute pancreatitis
Blood type and crossmatch - pre-operative preparation
Coagulation profile (PT, PTT) - pre-operative
Serum lactate - assess for sepsis/shock

5. H. pylori Testing:

Urea breath test, stool antigen, or biopsy at surgery
Schwartz: "Biopsy should be performed to evaluate for H pylori infection"

Why these tests: Schwartz states that "once the diagnosis has been made, the patient is given analgesia and antibiotics, resuscitated with isotonic fluid, and taken to the operating room" - confirming that rapid diagnostic workup to confirm the diagnosis and prepare for surgery is the priority.

Question 6: Plans for the Patient

Schwartz's management of perforated peptic ulcer follows a clear sequence:

A. Immediate Resuscitation (Pre-operative):

NPO (nothing by mouth)
IV access - large bore, begin aggressive IV fluid resuscitation with isotonic fluid
- Schwartz: "Fluid sequestration into the third space...can be impressive, so preoperative fluid resuscitation is mandatory" (p.1152)
Nasogastric tube (NGT) - decompress the stomach, reduce further spillage
Urinary catheter - monitor urine output and fluid balance
IV Antibiotics - broad-spectrum, covering GI flora (gram-negatives, anaerobes)
Analgesia - Schwartz: "the patient is given analgesia and antibiotics"
Oxygen supplementation; monitor vitals continuously

B. Surgical Intervention (Definitive Treatment):

Schwartz states: "Surgery is almost always indicated for ulcer perforation."

Surgical options based on patient stability:

Simple patch closure (Graham patch) - "procedure of choice in patients with hemodynamic instability and/or exudative peritonitis signifying perforation >24 hours old"
Patch closure + Highly Selective Vagotomy (HSV) - for stable patients with chronic symptoms or failure of medical treatment
Vagotomy and Drainage - also acceptable for perforated duodenal ulcer
Distal gastric resection - preferred for perforated gastric ulcers in stable patients
All perforated gastric ulcers must be biopsied to rule out malignancy, per Schwartz

Schwartz also notes: "Nonoperative management is appropriate only if there is objective evidence that the leak has sealed (i.e., radiologic contrast study), and in the absence of clinical peritonitis" - this patient has clinical peritonitis, so surgery is mandatory.

C. Post-operative Plans:

Continue IV antibiotics and PPI therapy
H. pylori testing and eradication if positive
Discontinue NSAIDs permanently - shift gout management to colchicine or allopurinol with rheumatology referral
Monitor for complications: re-leakage, abscess, delayed gastric emptying
Nutritional support

Q5 — Diagnostic Modalities (Patient-Correlated)

1. Upright Chest X-Ray — FIRST LINE

This patient presents with sudden-onset severe epigastric pain that rapidly worsened over 2 hours, with signs of peritonitis (pallor, diaphoresis, board-like abdomen). This clinical picture is consistent with a hollow viscus perforation. An upright chest X-ray is ordered first to detect free air (pneumoperitoneum) under the diaphragm, which directly confirms perforation of the stomach or duodenum.

"Upright chest X-ray shows free air in about 80% of patients." — Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 11th Ed., p. 1152

If the patient cannot sit upright due to pain or hemodynamic instability, a left lateral decubitus X-ray is used as an alternative.

2. CT Scan of the Abdomen & Pelvis (with contrast) — CONFIRMATORY

This patient is on chronic high-dose Ibuprofen and presents with acute peritonitis. While the chest X-ray is the first step, a CT scan is ordered because:

It is more sensitive than X-ray for detecting small amounts of free air and free fluid, especially if the perforation is small or partially sealed
It identifies the site and extent of peritoneal contamination — critical for surgical planning in this patient who will most likely require emergency surgery
It helps rule out other causes of acute abdomen in a 65-year-old male — such as acute pancreatitis, mesenteric ischemia, or perforated malignancy (important since Schwartz states patients with perforation and GI blood loss should be suspected of having a second ulcer or GI cancer)

3. Laboratory Work-up — PRE-OPERATIVE

This patient is heading to emergency surgery. The following labs are ordered to assess his current physiological status and prepare him safely for the OR:

CBC — To check for leukocytosis (confirms infection/peritonitis) and anemia (rules out co-existing GI bleed, which Schwartz warns can occur alongside perforation)
Serum Electrolytes, BUN, Creatinine — This patient has been unable to eat (dinner was interrupted) and has significant fluid shifts from peritonitis; Schwartz notes that "fluid sequestration into the third space of the inflamed peritoneum can be impressive" — electrolytes and renal function must be assessed before surgery
Serum Amylase/Lipase — To rule out acute pancreatitis, which can also present as sudden severe epigastric pain in a 65-year-old male
PT/PTT, Blood Type & Crossmatch — Mandatory pre-operative workup before taking this patient to the OR
Serum Lactate — This patient is pale, diaphoretic, and in severe pain — serum lactate assesses whether he is in septic shock, guiding the urgency and aggressiveness of resuscitation

4. H. pylori Testing — ADJUNCT

This patient's perforation is primarily driven by chronic NSAID use. However, Schwartz states that "more than 90% of serious peptic ulcer complications can be attributed to H. pylori infection, NSAID use, and/or cigarette smoking." H. pylori co-infection may be present and, if untreated, will cause ulcer recurrence even after surgical repair.

Urea breath test or stool antigen — Can be done pre-operatively if feasible
Biopsy at time of surgery — Schwartz specifically states: "Biopsy should be performed to evaluate for H. pylori infection." In this patient, if a gastric ulcer is found, biopsy is also mandatory to rule out gastric malignancy

Q5 — Diagnostic Modalities (To Confirm or Reject: Perforated Peptic Ulcer)

1. Upright Chest X-Ray (FIRST LINE)

To CONFIRM: Free air (pneumoperitoneum) visible under the diaphragm → confirms hollow viscus perforation. "Upright chest X-ray shows free air in about 80% of patients." — Schwartz, p.1152
To REJECT: No free air seen → perforation less likely but NOT fully excluded (20% cases may be negative); proceed to CT for further evaluation

2. CT Abdomen & Pelvis (CONFIRMATORY)

To CONFIRM: Free intraperitoneal air, free fluid, thickened gastric/duodenal wall, peritoneal contamination → confirms perforated peptic ulcer and its site
To REJECT: No free air, no free fluid, no peritoneal signs on CT → perforation ruled out; consider other causes (pancreatitis, mesenteric ischemia)

3. Labs — CBC, Electrolytes, BUN/Cr, Amylase, PT/PTT, Serum Lactate (PRE-OPERATIVE)

To CONFIRM: Leukocytosis → active infection/peritonitis; Elevated serum lactate → septic shock from peritonitis; Elevated amylase → may suggest upper GI source
To REJECT: Normal WBC + lactate + amylase → makes severe peritonitis/perforation less likely; consider alternative diagnosis

4. H. pylori Testing (ADJUNCT)

To CONFIRM: Positive urea breath test / stool antigen / biopsy → H. pylori co-infection confirmed; contributes to ulcer pathogenesis alongside NSAIDs
To REJECT: Negative H. pylori testing → NSAID use alone as the sole causative factor; no eradication therapy needed post-op

Patient context: 65yo male, chronic NSAID use, perforated peptic ulcer, acute peritonitis, pale + diaphoretic.

CBC (Complete Blood Count) Patient has acute peritonitis and is pale → WBC confirms infection/sepsis severity. Hemoglobin rules out co-existing GI bleed (Schwartz: perforation + GI blood loss → suspect second ulcer or cancer).

Electrolytes Peritonitis causes massive 3rd-space fluid shifts → Na, K, Cl imbalances expected. Schwartz: "fluid sequestration into the third space of the inflamed peritoneum can be impressive" — must correct before surgery.

BUN / Creatinine Patient is diaphoretic and in pain → risk of dehydration and acute kidney injury from poor perfusion. Renal function must be assessed before giving IV contrast for CT and before surgery.

Amylase Severe epigastric pain in a 65yo male → must rule out acute pancreatitis, which also presents with sudden epigastric pain and can mimic perforated ulcer clinically.

PT / PTT Patient is going to emergency surgery → coagulation status must be known pre-operatively to assess bleeding risk during and after the operation.

Serum Lactate Patient is pale, diaphoretic, screaming in pain → signs of shock. Elevated lactate confirms tissue hypoperfusion / septic shock and guides how aggressively to resuscitate before taking to OR.
