Intestinal obstruction:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
Initial therapy involves correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances, resting the bowel by decompressing it to relieve vomiting and distention, maintaining nothing by mouth status, and treating shock and peritonitis. A strangulated obstruction usually necessitates blood replacement as well as I.V. fluid administration. Nasogastric tube suction is necessary to relieve vomiting and abdominal distention.
Close monitoring of the patient’s condition determines the duration of treatment; if the patient fails to improve or if his condition deteriorates, surgery is necessary. Surgery is performed on all patients with large-bowel obstruction.
Total parenteral nutrition may be appropriate if the patient suffers a protein deficit from chronic obstruction, postoperative or paralytic ileus, or infection.
Drug therapy includes an analgesic and a sedative. An antibiotic is given for peritonitis due to bowel strangulation or infarction. A broad-spectrum antibiotic should be given to provide anaerobic and gram-negative coverage.
