  1. Know the causes of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. P493
  2. Understand risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm. P494
  3. Development of AAA
  4. AAA expansion
  5. AAA rupture
  6. Know the symptoms of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
  7. AAA is an important clinical diagnosis because it is associated with considerable risk of rupture and death as the aneurysm enlarges to a diameter of more than 5.0cm (1.96 inches).
Symptoms
  1. Symptom and sign of a ruptured AAA
  2. classic diagnostic triad of ruptured AAA is hypotension (42%), pulsatile abdominal mass (91%), and abdominal pain (58%) or back pain (70%). The triad is encountered in only 50% of patients with a ruptured AAA. Ruptured AAAs should be suspected in any patient who comes in with complaints of hypotension and atypical abdominal or back pain symptoms
