Gen Surg · Sample question
A 72-year-old man presents with 12 hours of a painful irreducible right groin bulge, vomiting, and abdominal distention. CT shows an incarcerated inguinal hernia causing small-bowel obstruction without free air. He had an MI with stent placement 8 months ago, has mild COPD, climbs 2 flights of stairs, has no chest pain, and takes aspirin. BP is 136/78 mm Hg, HR 96/min, and oxygen saturation is 95%. What is the best next preoperative step?
Preoperative urgency framework
Incarcerated hernia with obstruction is an urgent operative indication; testing should not delay needed source control when the patient is stable and has acceptable functional capacity. C is tempting due to prior MI, but stress testing is reserved only if results would change management and surgery can wait. B is unnecessary for mild stable COPD; optimize bronchodilators and oxygenation clinically. D is not indicated without active ischemia or unstable coronary syndrome.
Clinician Action: Diagnose urgency and stability, order only targeted labs/ECG as indicated, treat with fluids/analgesia/aspirin plan, and escalate to anesthesia/senior surgeon without delaying repair.
