In a medical emergency, when rapid diagnosis is essential, a thorough examination of the skin often provides clues to the underlying illness. Dermatologic lesions may suggest the etiology of common medical emergencies, such as coma, seizure, shock, chest pain, hemorrhage, respiratory distress, acute abdomen and acute psychosis. Since examination of the skin is rapidly and easily performed, it should be included in the evaluation of a patient with a medical emergency.
在医疗紧急情况中，当快速诊断至关重要时，对皮肤进行全面检查通常能为潜在疾病提供线索。皮肤病变可能提示常见医疗紧急情况的病因，如昏迷、癫痫发作、休克、胸痛、出血、呼吸窘迫、急腹症和急性精神病。由于对皮肤的检查操作迅速且简便，因此应将其纳入对医疗紧急情况患者的评估中。
