Official title

The Effect of Opiate Administration in Children With Acute Abdominal Pain and Peritoneal Signs on the Decision for Surgical Intervention

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Surgeons are the individuals who will operate on a patient if it is determined to be necessary after they present with abdominal pain. For that reason, the investigators want to study if giving a medicine (morphine) to children presenting to the ED with abdominal pain will alleviate pain without changing the patient's physical exam and the subsequent surgeon's decision. The investigators also will record any side effects of morphine, any associated surgical complications, and to identify the ultimate diagnosis.
