ABSTRACT

The initial acces to emergency situations that may need a surgical resolution; must be done; in almost all patients; with a simple X-ray of the abdomen. In this study is very easy to identify the presence of air in abnormal situation; such as intraabdominal extraluminal, retroperitoneal, intestinal neumatosis, pathology enfisematosa of infectious origin, in collections of the type abscess and other allowing to carry out an IMMEDIATE diagnostic approach in most of the occasions and avoiding unnecessary studies, establishing the definitive treatment appropriately, reducing the mortality and the costs of the attention in these patients.
