Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Renal Colic/Acute Abdomen
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Severe pain with sudden onset, potentially indicative of a serious condition
- Associated symptoms of nausea, diaphoresis, and feeling faint suggest a systemic response
- Patient's history of kidney stones makes renal colic a likely differential
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt pain management and evaluation for potential complications.

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Renal Colic (high probability)
2. Appendicitis (less likely given pain location and history)
3. Diverticulitis (less likely given age and no history)
4. Ovarian Cyst Rupture (less likely given age and no other symptoms)
5. Pancreatitis (less likely given no alcohol history)

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