Priapism
Emerg Med Clin North Am.
1988 Aug.
Abstract
The evaluation of priapism is unfamiliar to many emergency physicians. Rapid assessment and treatment are essential in the hope of preserving sexual function. A thorough history and physical examination reveal an underlying vascular or neurologic etiology in most cases. Treatment generally consists of adequate oxygenation, hydration, and analgesia, with early urologic consultation.
