Intestinal pseudoobstruction: Symptoms & Treatments
Intestinal pseudoobstruction is a disease that occurs when the intestines damage the food pushing force. It is a characteristic feature that there are no specific damage areas in the intestine with various symptoms. Major symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, abdominal distension, vomiting, dysphagia, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms vary depending on where the intestinal damage is.
Idiopathic cognitive secondary cognitive, chronic, acute cognitive can be classified into several categories. Chronic, primary cases are often caused by muscle or nerve damage, and genetic factors may be involved. Secondary chronic pseudocystal obstruction is the result of several other diseases, including Kawasaki disease, Parkinson's disease, congenital megacolon, and intestinal hypoganglionosis.
Diagnosis is made through intestinal motility tests and gastic emptying studies, x-rays, and it is important to find out if there are secondary causes of cure. On the abdominal x-ray, air fluid level is also seen, and the overall clinical picture is not significantly different from mechanical occlusion.
The treatment can be treated by first controlling the underlying disease if it is secondary. However, there is no specific treatment for primary adulthood, and it is important to perform conservative treatment with adequate nutrition and hydration. Pain control is also needed, and a variety of medications may be used to augment secondary effects. Commonly used medications include oral topical antibiotics, intestinal stimulants (prucalopride, metoclopramide, erythromycin, etc.)
For nutrition, avoid foods that are difficult to digest, such as fat and fiber, and encourage them to eat a little more often, focusing on water and soft foods. It is good to get help from a nutritionist, but if you continue to lose weight, you should have a nutritional supplement, and many patients will eventually go to nutritional supplements. Superficial nourishment is performed using a catheter, which determines which to use depending on how long it will take. During the use of the catheter, the catheter should be checked periodically to ensure that it is functioning properly, that the liver is not damaged, and that there is no evidence of blood infection.
Surgically, it can reduce abdominal distension or form intestinal tract through intestinal decompression, and it can also be used to feed intestinal tract in some cases. In the case of partial loss of the intestinal tract, intestinal resection may be performed. Recently, devices such as gastic / colonic pacemaker have been developed and some attempts have been made to stimulate intestinal motility by applying electric shocks at regular intervals.
