How to treat intestinal obstruction after operation?

First: the attending doctor fasted my colleague and reduced the pressure of gastrointestinal tract to remove the excess gas and fluid in the intestine, which can relieve the abdominal pain and distension. And he was given nutritional support. The attending doctor used parenteral nutrition support. The doctor told us that if the intestinal obstruction was relieved, we could eat some porridge.

Second: then, the attending doctor gave a massage to the abdomen. At that time, the doctor gently kneaded the abdomen clockwise, and the action was very light. Later, the doctor also used some drugs, such as atropine intramuscular injection. The doctor also said that it was very important to maintain a normal temperature, generally around 37 to 38 degrees, because a normal temperature can promote intestinal peristalsis, so as to alleviate intestinal obstruction.

Third: the doctor said that the intestinal obstruction was discovered early. If it is not found in time, there will be a series of serious complications, such as aspiration pneumonia. This requires family members to closely observe whether the patient has cough, chest pain, chills and fever. This is a sign of systemic infection. Therefore, close attention should be paid. Once these conditions are found, the doctor on duty should be reported in time, To do the appropriate treatment.

matters needing attention

Intestinal obstruction can be well prevented and controlled, which requires the patient and his family members to cooperate with the treatment. For example, early ambulation after surgery can prevent the occurrence of intestinal obstruction. Family members should also encourage the patient to get out of bed as soon as possible to prevent intestinal obstruction. If the patient has abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting again, report to the doctor on duty in time. The above is my experience, I hope to help you.
