Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Gastrointestinal Perforation. We will discuss the pathophysiology, highlighting the causes such as ulcers, diverticulitis, and trauma that lead to a hole in the gastrointestinal tract wall. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, including clinical presentation, laboratory findings indicative of infection and inflammation, and imaging studies such as plain radiographs and CT scans showing free air under the diaphragm. Finally, we will review the management strategies for Gastrointestinal Perforation, emphasizing immediate surgical intervention to repair the perforation and antibiotic therapy to treat secondary infection.
