Resumen
Compare the number of images taken from a group of patients with acute appendicitis who received analgesia before definitive diagnosis versus patients without this intervention, which came to the adult emergency department of the University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, between January and December 2006. Materials and Methods. Retrospective cohort study in which patients take a census year and described variables are measured, the results were analyzed by SPSS 19 version. Was taken as a significance 0.05. Results. 40% received early analgesia. No statistically significant difference was found between the number of scans taken in patients with and without analgesia (p = 0.016), 49.2% vs 50.8% respectively, while the number of abdominal CT was higher in the group not received analgesia (56.8% vs 43.2%) but without statistical significance, p = 0.507. Conclusions. The use of early analgesia in the emergency room with abdominal pain in patients with acute appendicitis is not associated with an increase in decision-ultrasound as a diagnostic method, the association was not demonstrable with axial tomography. The group of patients who received analgesia had a lower length of stay in emergency room without defined surgical treatment.
