non mechanical- Paralytic illeus, pseudo- acting like theres an obstruction- critically ill, trauma, burns. vascular- no blood to intestines- a fib, art obstruction, clots, heart valve issues, heart attack, congestive fail

20
Q

A

Adhesions, intessuseption, hernwas, tumors, volvus,

21
Q

Steps of lower obs

A

1.obstruction- build up fluid, gas, intestial contents-prox
Collapse- distal
2. Increase in bowel distension- reabsorption of fluids
3. increase pressure- cap perm, fluids into 3rd space
4. loss of blood volume
5, ischemic bowel no blood supply

22
Q

Sm in lower GI

A

Rapid onset

Early- Colckly, intermit ab pain, NV in large ammounts, projectile vom with bile, if long standing smells like poop

A

Gradual onset, vom it rare, ab pain present but low grade, ab distention increased new onset of constipation and no flatulus

24
Q

diagnosis of bowel obstruction

Labs

A

x ray-ct scan
Sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy
Increase in WBC, H and H, BUN and creatinine

25
Q

Tx for lower GI obstruction

When do you need surgery

A

conservative, NPO, rest, NG tube, IV fluids-NS or lac ringers, Pain control
if strangulated or tx not effective, May need colonosctomy or illiostomy
