Overview
Peptic ulcer disease patient appears in severe stress due to abdominal pain. Common physical examination findings of peptic ulcer disease include epigastric tenderness, tachycardia.Perforated peptic ulcer disease patient presents with classic triad of severe epigastric tenderness, tachycardia and abdominal rigidity. Clinical signs of perforated peptic ulcer comes in 3 stages: In the initial stage within first 2 hours, the patient presents with tachycardia, epigastric pain and cool extremities.In next 2 to 12 hours, the patient presents with lower right quadrant tenderness and abdominal rigidity. In more than 12 hours, the patient presents with abdominal distension, hypotension, and pyrexia with acute circulatory collapse.[1]
