2011, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :In a patient with blunt trauma with significant pathology, pain, abdominal tenderness, guarding, and rigidity are the most common findings (4). However, the accuracy of these physical findings may be questioned, because in patients with intra-abdominal trauma, the sensitivity and specificity of abdominal pain and tenderness have been estimated at 82% and 45%, respectively (5). As many as 40% of patients may have no symptoms or signs on initial presentation in the ED (3).
