Abdominal Examination (OLD VERSION) - Clinical Skills OSCE Guide - Dr James Gill

These older clinical skills videos are being retired, but rather than delete them, I decided to archive them here

In this video, we demonstrate how to perform a clinical examination of the ABDOMINAL SYSTEM for your medical school Clinical Skills OSCE. As the gastrointestinal exam is a core skill when it comes to examining patients, students should assume that an abdominal assessment is a high yield station for any clinical exams or clinical assessments.

For a passing grade in your Clinical Skills OSCE, for the Abdominal exam follow the approach of:
- Inspection
- Palpation
- Percussion
- Auscultation

HOWEVER, an abdominal examination OSCE station does not just involve pressing around the stomach, this video also demonstrates some of the specialised examination techniques required in examining patients such as shifting dullness for ascites, and checking the size of the liver which may be seen to be enlarged in cirrhosis as an example.

Diarrhoea, pain and general concerns about the abdomen are common reasons for patients to see a doctor, and in any speciality is probably the most commonly performed patient examination

This video has three other abdominal system-focused videos associated with it:

-------------------
Please note that there is no ABSOLUTE way to perform a clinical examination. Different institutions and even clinicians will have differing degrees of variations - the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs.

However during OSCE assessments. Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.

The examination demonstrated here is derived from Macleods Clinical Examination - a recognised standard textbook for clinical skills.

Some people viewing this medical examination video may experience an ASMR effect

Oh man one of the classics
There's something calming and peaceful about a good job being done well

[jeffkeith]

A welcome blast from the past. Is he now a doctor too? And can't wait for that Thyroid exam ...

[dermothughes]

Super cool seeing this again… I remember following your channel 3 years ago and I am now a senior in high school in the states using them for help with my anatomy and physiology class… super full circle moment!

[paulwilkins]

A true classic. I dread to think how many times I’ve watched this for sleep purposes…

[karlotty]

The very first Video that introduced me to Dr. Gill.

[laurafowler-nichols]

My little boy (9 - not so little) had a similar examination this week to rule out anything ‘sinister’ in place of his standard iron deficiency. I nearly critiqued the doctors examination, having watched this so often!

[elizabethgaunt]

Your voice is so calming.. have you thought about doing a whole head to toe assessment?

[starfishgurl]

Not sure what it is about abdominal examinations, even this old version, but for some reason I’m totally fascinated by them, always have been I guess since receiving them in childhood checkups. It must be something to do with my sensory processing disorder where I crave the deep pressure/touch that makes them so appealing to me I guess, thanks for re-uploading these to keep them around!

[infinitedunk]

you are the Bob Ross of medicine XD I love you

[pedrobezerra]

Nothing is more genius than a doctor create a channel of Medical ASMR🤭

[Redbullluva]

I went to school with him! Top chap =D

[JMSJR]

These old Warwick videos are the bee's knees. 🐝 🦵

[loadventureslife]

Anybody else check everyday for a new video knowing he does one about every two weeks. 😂

[mrboss]

For relaxation : playback speed - 0.75

[jonathanmccartney]

Dr. Gill…Not trolling here, just letting you know about a typo in your video description.

…the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs.

You most likely meant
…the aim is TO effectively identify medically relevant signs.

Hope this was of help. Love your videos!

[izyadamson]

So what happened to the original video? Did you just rename it or did you take it down and re upload?

[thekow]

Watching all of these, I wonder if, when filming, he actually notices a problem with the "patient".

[rossstewart]

1:31 when I see Dr Gill dropped a video

[Miguel-kiwj]

A CLASSIC. Don't know how many times I've actually come to this. I meant come BACK to this. Oops.

[iwakalbus]

This is how ASMR starts.
Anyway, tht guy is so cute
