In medicine, small bowel obstruction is intestinal obstruction of the small intestine.
Prognosis
CT scan findings of complete obstruction, dilated small bowel, or free fluid are associated with having subsequent surgery.[1]
"The appearance of water-soluble contrast in the colon on an abdominal X ray within 24 hours of its administration predicts resolution of an adhesive small bowel obstruction with a pooled sensitivity of 0.97, specificity of 0.96."[2]
Treatment
Clinical practice guidelines address the treatment.[3]
Various medications have been studied including magnesium oxide[4], octreotide / methylglucamine diatrizoate combination[5]
Administration of "water-soluble contrast did not reduce the need for surgical intervention" according to a meta-analysis by the Cochrnae Collaboration.[2] Others do not agree with this.[3]
