A study based upon 23 patients revealed substantial within- and between-observer variation, when 14 senior and junior surgeons under blindfold conditions were requested to measure the distance from the thoracic cage to the lower border of the liver in the midclavicular and midsternal lines. Clinical decisions should accordingly not rely heavily upon a palpatory estimate of liver size.
一项基于23名患者的研究显示,当要求14名资深和初级外科医生在蒙眼条件下测量锁骨中线和胸骨中线处胸廓至肝脏下缘的距离时,观察者之间和观察者自身均存在显著差异。因此,临床决策不应过度依赖对肝脏大小的触诊估计。
