INTERNAL MEDICINE (OSCE)
__________________________________________________________________________________

Firstly identify the Dimples of Venus (2) Now in


the midline, use a tape measure and pen to
mark a point 10 cm superior (1), and another
mark 5 cm inferior (3) to this line
*15 cm*

Ask the patient to attempt to "touch their


toes" (Flexing their lumbar spine). The
distance between these two marks should be measured when the
patient's spine is flexed maximally.

INTERPRETATION!!! → Less than 5cm increase in length (≥ 20 cm in


total length) with forward flexion means decreased lumbar spine
range of motion [e.g. ankylosing spondylitis]

- Visual acuity by finger counting:
Start at 6 m and keep getting closer. If at 30 cm patient fails → use
hand movements. If fails → test for perception of light using torch.
If fails → PATIENT IS BLIND!!!!!
- Color vision: by red and white objects (Ishihara plates)
- Pupillary light reflex (direct & consensual)
Separate eyes by your hand, move the torch
from lateral to medial. look for miosis in same
eye [DIRECT] & other eye [CONSENSUAL]
- Accommodation reflex
Ask patient to follow your finger by his
eyes while moving it towards his nose.
Normal response: Convergence -
Miosis - accommodation
- Pursuit & saccadic conjugate eye movement (horizontal and
vertical) and observe for nystagmus
Ask patient to fix his eyes looking at you finger on the Rt & Lt sides
then observe any oscillatory movements
- Individual eye movements (FIX HEAD + LOOK WITH EYE ONLY!!)

CN III [oculomotor] CN IV [Trochlear] CN VI [Abducent]

- Speech for cerebellar dysfunction (ask name, age, residency)
- Eye movement for horizontal nystagmus:
Ask patient to fix his eyes looking at you finger on the Rt & Lt sides
then observe any oscillatory movements
- UL ataxia by finger to nose test ± finger to
doctor’s finger test
- Tests for UL dysdiadochokinesia by rapid
alternating supination-pronation of the
extended arms ± rapid alternating
repeated tapping of dorsum of the
hand
- Tests for rebound (overshooting) by arm
pulling test and/or arm displacement
test
Ask the patient to close their eyes and
position their arms outstretched in front of them.
Explain to patient that you are going to apply some downward
resistance on each arm & that they should try to maintain current
position of their arms as you apply that resistance.
Push downwards on one of the patient’s forearms and then
immediately remove the resistance.

ABDOMEN INSPECTION + LIVER PALPATION


Greet the Patient:
)‫ طالب فى سنة خامسة ممكن افحص حضرتك؟ (مننساش نقف على يمين العيان‬.... ‫صباح الخير أنا‬
Inspection of Abdomen: Exposure is from
FROM END OF BED: nipple line to
• Movement with respiration mid-thigh
• Contour (normally slightly scaphoid) / Localized
Bulge / Diffuse Bulge
FROM SIDE OF BED: [ask patient to hold his/her breath]
• Epigastric pulsations + Visible peristalsis
FROM ABOVE AND GOING DOWNWARDS: [SD + U w/4 Ss & CD + 2H + 2S]
• Subcostal angle (Normally = 90° - 110°)
• Divarication of recti (‫)هم براسك‬
• Umbilicus → Site – Shape – Swelling – Skin lesions – Color - Discharge
• Hernial Orifices + Cough

• Hair Distribution → (Normally: ▲ in ♂ & ▼ in ♀) [imp for ♂ in LCF]


• Scars + Skin (Pigmentations + Dilated Veins + Stria alba ± Linea nigra)
Liver Palpation: flex hips & knees of patient to relax abdominal muscles!
[2Ss + T + ESC + MRP]
Start at RIF in MCL resting transversely parallel to costal margin.
Ask Patient to take a deep breath. Ask the patient to expire, slide the hand a
little nearer to RT costal margin till lower border of Rt lobe palpated.
Repeat the above steps till the lower border of the Lt lobe is palpated
• Size (Patient’s hand: 1 finger ≈ 2 cm) + Site (Rt. Hypochondrium)
• Tenderness
• Edge (Sharp) + Surface (Smooth/Nodular) + Consistency (Firm NOT
HARD!)
• Movement (Movement with respiration)
• Relation to skin, muscle, OR defect (‫ → )هم براسك‬swelling disappears as
it’s deep to the muscle
• Pulsations: One hand Posteriorly & the other Posteriorly. Ask patient to
hold his breath

SPLEEN PALPATION + ASCITES PERCUSSION


Greet the Patient:
)‫ طالب فى سنة خامسة ممكن افحص حضرتك؟ (مننساش نقف على يمين العيان‬.... ‫صباح الخير أنا‬
Spleen Palpation: flex hips & knees of patient to relax abdominal
muscles! [2Ss + T + ESC + MR + 2Ps + N]
Classic: Start at RIF with tips of hand directed towards LT axilla, move toward
the Lt hypochondrium until spleen is felt.
Bimanual: Start at RIF with tips of hand directed towards LT axilla + Place LT
hand over lateral aspect of Lt costal margin, exerting compression & move
toward Lt hypochondrium until spleen is felt.
Right lateral position: Ask patient to turn on right side, Insinuate the hand
below the costal margin then ask patient to take a deep breath Press till the
lower edge of the spleen is felt
Hooking method: Stand on left side of patient’s head & place fingers of both
hands over the costal margin. Instruct the patient to take deep breath
• Size (1 finger ≈ 2 cm) + Site (Lt. Hypochondrium) + Tenderness
• Edge (well-defined) + Surface (Smooth/Nodular) + Consistency (Firm)
• Movement (Movement with respiration) + Relation
• Pulsations: One hand Ant. & other Post. Ask patient to hold his breath
• Pitting Sign + Notch
Ascites Percussion:
TENSE (≥3 L) → Transmitted Thrill: Patient’s hand is placed in mid-abdomen
with sufficient pressure applied to dampen any wave that pass through AAW.
Place one hand on flank & the other hand briskly tap the other flank.
Positive test: a shock wave be felt with palpating hand.
MODERATE (1.5 – 3 L) → Shifting Dullness: Start below xiphisternum with hand
placed transversely then start percussion downwards in the midline until
change of tone is noted (resonant → Dull !!)
Change your hand position where the tips are pointing towards the
xiphisternum then start percussion laterally until change of tone is noted.
WHILE KEEPING THE HAND ON SITE OF DULLNESS ask patient to turn to the
opposite side to move fluid by gravity then percuss again
Repeat on the other side (U-SHAPED DULLNESS)
MILD (≤1.5 L) → Knee elbow position: (If shifting dullness is -ve) OBSOLETE!!!
