How should intestinal obstruction be treated

summary

When people have intestinal obstruction, some of the contents in the intestinal passage will be blocked. This disease is a common abdominal disease, which can be caused by many factors. In the initial stage of intestinal obstruction, functional changes will occur in the place of intestinal obstruction. With the further development of the disease, the body fluid of patients will decrease and electrolyte imbalance will occur. At the same time, patients with intestinal wall, circulation disorders, and even necrosis, but also cause some secondary infection, and eventually lead to toxemia and death. However, if intestinal obstruction is treated actively, most of them can be cured.

How should intestinal obstruction be treated

For the treatment of intestinal obstruction, the first thing is to correct the dehydration of patients. If there is a large amount of electrolyte loss in the body, it is necessary to actively supplement electrolytes and adjust the body's acid-base balance. Not all ileus causes electrolyte loss, and not all Landrace causes dehydration. So in the treatment of the disease must be based on the condition of targeted treatment.

Whether the patient has dehydration and electrolyte disorder needs to be correctly evaluated according to the clinical examination. If dehydration is mild, 1500 ml of body fluid should be added after illness. If vomiting is obvious, 3000 ml of body fluid should be added. If the body has circulation disorders, or even collapse, you need to add 4000 ml of body fluid.

Gastric decompression is another method for the treatment of intestinal obstruction. This method is to reduce the pressure of the stomach through gastrointestinal intubation, which can alleviate the intestinal expansion caused by intestinal obstruction. Through this method, it can also avoid aspiration pneumonia caused by intestinal obstruction, and also has the effect of reducing vomiting.

matters needing attention

When intestinal obstruction occurs, we need to actively control the infection and possible toxemia. The longer the onset time of intestinal obstruction, the more prone to intestinal stenosis, narrow place is more prone to infection, so the control of infection after the onset of intestinal obstruction is also an important relief of treatment.
