The Mannheim peritonite index consists of eight risk factors, which are evalu­ated in points from 0 to 12, while the index values can range from 0 to 47 points. A value above 26 points predicts the probability of death with a high sensitivity of 84 %, specificity of 79 % and accuracy of 81 % (Table 2).
The diagnosis of acute peritonitis has a characteristic clinical picture, fits in­to the following scheme:
1. Collection of complaints and medical history.
2. Visual examination of the patient with general therapy and abdomen.
3. Measurement of body temperature.
4. Heart rate measurement.
5. Measurement of BP on peripheral arteries.
6. Auscultation of the lungs.
7. Abdominal palpation.
8. Abdominal percussion and definition of hepatic dullness.
9. Checking the symptom of irritation of the Shchetkin Blumberg peritoneum.
10. Auscultation of abdominal peristalsis.
11. Finger examination of the rectum.
12. ECG registration.
13. Determination of blood oxygen saturation on a pulse oximeter.
14. Assessment of the severity of the patient's condition.
All patients diagnosed with acute peritonitis after providing medical care at the prehospital stage should be taken to the duty surgical hospital.
Acute intestinal obstruction is a disease characterized by a violation of the passage of intestinal contents through the gastrointestinal tract, in which acute stool and gas retention occurs.
Classification of acute intestinal obstruction:
1. Dynamic obstruction:
spastic;
paralytic.
2. Mechanical obstruction:
strangulation (swirl, nodulation, infringement);
obturative (intraintestinal form, extraintestinal form);
mixed (invagination, adhesive obstruction).
102
Diagnosis of pathology at the prehospital stage fits into the following scheme:
1. Collection of complaints and medical history. Paying attention to the swol-
len stomach vomiting, stool and gas retention.
2. Visual examination of the patient with general therapy and abdomen. Paying
attention to the presence of hernial bulges, abdominal asymmetry, visible peristalsis.
3. Measurement of body temperature.
4. Heart rate measurement.
5. Measurement of BP on peripheral arteries.
6. Auscultation of the lungs.
7. Abdominal palpation, paying attention to the presence of a bloated loop of
the intestine in the abdomen, above which high tympanitis is detected a symptom of Valya.
8. Checking Sklyarov's symptom is the noise of the shoulder with a slight con-
cussion of the abdomen (succussia).
9. Checking the symptom of irritation of Shchetkin Blumberg bryushchina.
10. Checking for Mondor symptom increased or no peristaltic noise in dif-
ferent parts of the abdomen.
11. Checking the symptom of Spasokukotsky Wilms the noise of a fall-
ing drop.

All patients with acute intestinal obstruction after providing them with emer­gency medical care at the prehospital stage should be taken to the duty surgical hospital.
Acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis is initially an aseptic inflammation of the pancreas, which
is based on necrobiosis (edematous pancreatitis) and necrosis of the gland itself and surrounding tissues, followed by the addition of endogenous infection and accompa­nied by systemic disorders.
This disease has a stage course of the process, during which there is a regular and sequential change in the phases of inflammation with the occurrence of patho­morphological changes specific for each stage. Edema and necrobiosis underlie edematous pancreatitis, while for destructive pancreatitis the pathomorphological ba­sis is necrosis.
103
The classification of acute pancreatitis is based on the Atlanta-92 classifica­tion, proposed in 2011, modified by the Russian Society of Surgeons (2014):
1. Mild acute pancreatitis, which is characterized by swelling of pancreatic tis­sue and has a completely reversible character (abortive course). Multiple organ fail­ure for this form does not develop.
2. Moderate acute pancreatitis, characterized by the presence of one of the lo­cal manifestations of the disease: parapancreatic infiltrate, pseudocyst, delimited un­infected and/or infected (abscess) fluid accumulation with the development of com­mon manifestations of multiple organ failure (up to 48 hours).
3. Severe acute pancreatitis, characterized by the presence of non-delimited in­fected (purulent-necrotic) pancreatitis and/or the development of multiple organ fail­ure (more than 48 hours).
Pancreatic necrosis (destructive pancreatitis):
hemorrhagic; fatty; mixed.
By prevalence, small-focal, large-lobed and total pancreatitis are distinguished. Purulent pancreonecrosis causes:
1) uninfected and infected sequesters;
2) gland abscess;
3) purulent parapancreatitis;
4) retroperitoneal fiber phlegmon.
Complications of purulent pancreatitis:
fistulas of the pancreas and hollow organs; arrosion of large vessels; gland sequestration; false purulent cysts; sepsis.
According to the prevalence of the necrotic process in the pancreas, the fol-
lowing are distinguished:
1. Interstitial pancreatic edema (multiple microscopic necrosis not visualized by ultrasound and CT).
2. Small-focal pancreatic necrosis (pancreatic lesion volume according to ultra­sound and CT less than 30 %).
3. Large-frequency pancreatic necrosis (pancreatic lesion volume according to ultrasound and CT from 30 to 50 %).
4. Subtotal pancreonecrosis (pancreatic lesion volume according to ultrasound and CT more than 50–75 %).
104
5. Total pancreonecrosis (pancreatic lesion volume according to ultrasound and CT more than 75 %; prevalence of the process beyond the pancreas).
All patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis should be delivered to the duty
surgical department after providing medical care at the prehospital stage.
Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis at the prehospital stage fits into the following
scheme:
1. Collecting complaints and history of the disease, paying attention to Mon- dor's symptom epigastric pain, vomiting, flatulence.
2. Visual examination of the patient with general therapy and abdomen.
3. Paying attention to the presence of cyanosis spots on the lateral areas of the abdomen is a Gray Turner symptom, on the jaundice of the sclera and skin.
4. Measurement of body temperature.
5. Heart rate measurement.
6. Measurement of BP on peripheral arteries.
7. Auscultation of the lungs.
8. Auscultation of abdominal peristalsis.
9. Abdominal palpation.

Acute appendicitis — acute inflammation of the worm-like process.
Clinical manifestations of acute appendicitis increase gradually over several hours and in most patients begin with dyspepsia and the symptom of Kocher (or Kocher Volkovich), when pain occurs in the epigastric region, and then after 2–3 hours move to the right iliac region. A somewhat less common pain sensation appears immediately in the right iliac region. Pains are constant, their intensity is usually moderate. As the disease progresses, the pain increases somewhat, although it
105
can also subside due to the death of the nervous apparatus of the worm-like process in gangrenous inflammation. Pains increase when walking, coughing, changing the po­sition of the body in bed. Irradiation with a typical form of acute appendicitis is not observed and is characteristic only of atypical forms. The onset of nausea and vomit­ing before the onset of pain is not typical for acute appendicitis. Body temperature rarely rises above 37–37.4 °C (subfebrile fever).
Appendicitis classification:
acute uncomplicated appendicitis: catarrhal (simple, superficial) and destruc- tive (phlegmonotic, gangrenous);
acute complicated appendicitis: perforation of the process, appendicular infil- trate, abscesses (pelvic, subdiaphragmatic, intercingular), peritonitis, retroperitoneal reflux, sepsis, pileflebitis;
chronic appendicitis (primary chronic, permanent, recurrent).
Diagnosis of acute appendicitis fits into the following scheme:
1. Collection of complaints and medical history. Paying attention to the Ko-
cher Volkovich symptom is the movement of pain from the epigastric to the right iliac region of the abdomen.
2. Visual examination of the patient with general therapy and abdomen.
3. Measurement of body temperature.
4. Heart rate measurement.
5. Measurement of BP on peripheral arteries.
6. Auscultation of the lungs.
7. Auscultation of abdominal peristalsis.
8. Abdominal palpation.

left iliac region is shaken.
10. Checking Voskresensky's symptom, shirts increased soreness with
sliding movements over the right iliac region.
11. Checking Sitkovsky's symptom the appearance of pulling pains in the
right iliac region when the patient turns on his left side.
12. Checking the symptom of Obraztsov an increase in pain in the right iliac
region when raising the straight right leg in the lying position by 40°, without extend­ing the knee.
13. Checking the symptom of irritation of the Shchetkin Blumberg peri-
toneum.
14. Finger examination of the rectum, determination of soreness and overhang
of the anterior wall of the rectum.
15. Assessment of the severity of the patient's condition.

All patients with suspected acute appendicitis should be taken to the duty sur­gical hospital.
Acute cholecystitis.
Acute cholecystitis is an acute inflammation of the gallbladder.
Acute calculous cholecystitis is inflammation caused by obturation of the
cystic duct by a stone, leading to stagnation, infection of bile, hypertension in the gallbladder, destruction of its wall, and peritonitis.

Pain irradiates upward into the right shoulder and shoulder blade, the right supraclavicular region. It is accompanied by nausea and repeated vomiting. Characteristic signs are the appearance of a feeling of bitterness in the mouth and the presence of bile impurity in vomiting masses.
In the initial stage of the disease, the pain is blunt, as the process progresses, it becomes more intense. At the same time, an increase in body temperature up to 38 ° C is noted, sometimes chills occur. It is mandatory to collect an epidemiological history contact with hepatitis A.

3. GENERAL HEALTH SCALES FOR SICK AND INJURED
3.1. GLASGOW SCALE
To determine the criterion for the initial assessment of the condition of patients with severe head and brain injury, the Glasgow coma depth scale (GCS) was devel­oped in 1974. It assesses clinical signs of impaired consciousness taking into account eye opening, speech and motor response (Table 3). Summation of the scores on the three parameters gives the final measure of the patient's condition. The maximum (favorable) possible indicator is 15, the minimum (unfavorable) 3. In the medical history, along with the final general indicator, it is recommended to provide data of individual parameters (for example, E2V3M5 = GCS10). The GCS scale is widely used around the world, since the procedure it provides for examining the victim is simple and gives reliable results. A thorough examination of the patient should be performed prior to intubation and/or administration of sedatives and painkillers.
