DISEASE CONDITION
RISK FACTORS- There are modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. The modifiable risk
factors are hernia, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, severe constipation, vertebral fracture,
thrombosis, embolism.
The non-modifiable risk factors are age (young-congenital bowel deformities and old age),
Family history of colorectal cancer.
Classification of causes intestinal obstruction:Based on the etiology, intestinal obstruction is
classified into,
1. Mechanical obstruction
2. Paralytic ileus
Mechanical obstruction:
It is further classified into,
i) Obturation obstruction
a. Polypoid tumor
b. Intussusception
c. Gall stones
d. Foreign bodies
e. Bezoars
f. Feces
ii) Intrinsic bowel lesion
a. Atresia
b. Stenosis
c. Stricture
d. Vascular abnormality
iii) Extrinsic bowel lesion
a. Adhesion
b. Hernia
c. Neoplasm
d. Volvulus
e. Congenital bands

• Small bowel obstruction – obstruction in the small intestine
• Large bowel obstruction – obstruction in any part of the large intestine
Pathophysiology Of Intestinal Obstruction
IN BOOK IN PATEINT
Cramping and belly pain that comes and goes. • Pain in the abdomen.
The pain can occur around or below the belly button. • No passing of flatus or
Vomiting – as obstruction progress, the character of vomitus gas.
changes from digested food to feculent material.
Bloating and a large, hard belly.
Constipation and a lack of gas, if the intestine is completely
blocked
Diarrhea, if the intestine is partly blocked,
Inability to have a bowel movement or pass gas, • Swelling of the
Swelling of the abdomen (distention) abdomen (distention)
Diagnostic evaluation:
History collection, Physical examination, Laboratory investigation reveal decreased sodium,
potassium, chloride; Elevated serum amylase. Elevated WBC due to inflammation, seen in
peritonitis and strangulation, Upper GI and small bowel series, Colonoscopy, Barium enema,
Abdominal X-ray and computed tomography
Blood investigaion,urine examination and ct was done.
Management of intestinal obstruction:
Management:
a)Medical management:
Management of intestinal obstruction is directed at correcting physiologic derangements caused
by the obstruction, bowel rest, and removing the source of obstruction. Fluid resuscitation should
be started with intravenous isotonic solution, Nasogastric decompression, Correction of
electrolyte imbalance, Correction of metabolic acidosis/alkalosis.
Nasogastric decompression is done.
If bowel ischemia or infarction is suspected, antibiotics should be given (eg, a 3rd-
generationcephalosporin, such as cefotetan 2 g IV) before operative exploration.
Patient can be diagnosed with various imaging technique only when he is stable, or else
exploratory laparotomy should be done.
b)Surgical Management:
i. Adhesiolysis:Laparoscopic surgery is performed by making two or three small punctures
(about 0.5 to 1 cm in size) on the abdomen.Laparoscope is the only way confirming their
presence. If adhesions are encountered, they can be easily divided using long laparoscopic
instruments. The procedure is called adhesiolysis.
ii. Excision/resection: Any damaged parts of bowel will be repaired or removed. This procedure
is called bowel resection
iii. Bypass/proximal decompression:When part of the intestine is removed and the ends cannot
be reconnected, one end out through an opening in the abdominal wall. This may be done using
a colostomy, ileostomy or mucous fistula.
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT -EXPLORATORY LAPROTOMY AND END TO END
ANASTOMOSIS WAS DONE
NURSING MANAGEMENT:
Nursing diagnosis:
Nursing interventions:
i)Impaired breathing pattern related to post-operative status:-
-Assess the respiratory rate, saturation and breathing pattern of the patient.
- Provide semi-fowler’s position to the patient.
- Provide incentive spirometry, deep breathing and coughing exercises to the patient.
- Administer oxygen to the patient if prescribed
ii. Acute pain related to surgical incision
-Assess the intensity, location and frequency of pain.
- Provide comfortable position to the patient.
- Provide diversional therapy to the patient
- Administer analgesics as prescribed by the physician
ii)Impaired nutrition less than body requirement related to surgery:
- Monitor the patient for return of bowel sounds, passage of stool and gas.
- Administer IV fluids and add vitamins to the IV fluids if prescribed.
- Slowly progress diet from clear liquid to semi-solid diet, once bowel sounds return
- Monitor weight and intake, output chart
Conclusion:
Bowel obstruction occurs when the normal flow of intraluminal contents is interrupted.
Although, diagnosis of intestinal obstruction is important, the treatment should not be delayed to
prevent complications
