Inefficient Admissions for Abdominal Pain Under an Acute General Surgical Unit.
Yash PanwarSam ShanLily OwensChiu KangRussell HodgsonPublished in: World journal of surgery (2023)
A large population of patients with non-specific abdominal pain are admitted to AGSU. These patients do not require surgery and have a short length of stay. Incorporating a negative CRP result and negative imaging result may be utilised in conjunction with optimised analgesia to help avoid these unnecessary admissions, thereby improving AGSU efficiency and workload.
