Acil Servis ve Abdominal Aort Anevrizması

Abstract

Acil servislere başvuruların önemli bir kısmı yaşlı hastalardan oluşmaktadır. Yaşlı ve karın ağrısı olan hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda abdominal aort anevrizması düşünülmelidir. Risk faktörleri de olan kişilerde tanıda gecikilmemelidir. Böylece ölümcül komplikasyonlar önlenebilir. 

Keywords
