Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Renal Colic or Acute Abdomen
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Severe abdominal pain with rapid onset and associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, sweating)
- Patient’s history of kidney stones makes renal colic a likely possibility, but acute abdomen cannot be ruled out.
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and pain management.

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Renal Colic (high probability given history)
2. Acute Appendicitis (possible, but less likely given location of pain)
3. Pancreatitis (possible, but less likely given rapid onset)
4. Aortic Aneurysm (less likely, but must be considered in differential)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Pain management protocols initiation
- Assessment of vital signs and hemodynamic status
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with surgical and urological services
