A 3-year-old girl is brought to the emergency department by her parent for intermittent, severe crampy abdominal pain for the past four hours. She also had two episodes of vomiting. On arrival at the ED, her temperature is 36°C (96.8°F), heart rate is 90/min, blood pressure is 102/60 mmHg, and respiratory rate is 22/min. Physical examination reveals no abdominal tenderness, rebound, or guarding. Abdominal ultrasound shows a target sign in the right lower quadrant, consistent with ileocolic intussusception. While the team is preparing for non-operative reduction, the patient suddenly becomes lethargic with abdominal tenderness in all four quadrants and rebound and guarding. Repeat vital signs show temperature of 36°C (96.8°F) heart rate of 135/min, blood pressure of 83/41 mmHg, and respiratory rate of 32/min.
