Abdominal pain is one of the most common reasons for consultation in Emergency
Departments (ED) worldwide. The challenge for physicians is to not misdiagnose a surgical
emergency. The actual gold standard for diagnosis is computed tomography (CT). However
with this procedure there is high radiation exposure and a risk factor of
radiation-induced cancers, therefore alternative diagnostic techniques should be
considered. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of measuring venous
lactate in patients presenting with acute abdominal pain in ED.
In this single-center, prospective, non-interventional study, the diagnostic accuracy of
venous lactate in order to detect surgical emergencies is evaluated. The hypothesis made
here is that venous lactatemia is a positive predictive factor of surgical emergencies in
patients with acute abdominal pain.
