Intestinal ObstructionSmall and large
Partial or complete
Failure of intestinal contents to move
![Page 4: Bowel obstruction colorectal ca](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/556484d1d8b42a8c5e8b55d2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mechanical Causes of Intestinal Obstruction
A. Intussusceptions: The prolapse of the intestine into the lumen of the immediate adjacent part
B. Volvulus: Torsion of a loop of intestine causing an obstruction (may also have strangulation)
C. Hernia: An abnormal protrusion through the abdominal wall

Functional Causes of Bowel ObstructionIleus, paralytic ileus, adynamic)
musculature can’t propel bowel contents usually accompanied by peritonitis
Symptoms include abdominal pain and distention, vomiting and constipation. Potential complications include dehydration and shock.
Treatment : Decompression with a tube at the site of the obstruction

Signs and SXs of Small Bowel ObstructionCrampy abdominal pain that is wavelike and
colickyPass blood and mucus but no feces or flatusVomitingIn severe cases reverse peristalsis

Large Bowel ObstructionPathophysiology
Obstruction build up of effluent & gas above site severe distention and perforationOften undramatic (unlike sbo)Strangulation and necrosis are life threatening
Adenocarcinoid tumors account for the majority of large bowel obstructions

Signs & SXs of Large Bowel ObstructionConstipation (may be the only sx for months)Alteration in the shape of stoolWeakness, anorexia and weight lossMay develop iron deficiency anemiaDistended abdomen showing the outline of

Colorectal Cancer Risk Factors (cause unknown):
Over 40 Blood in stool History of rectal polyps Family history History of inflammatory bowel disease High fat, protein, beef diet; low fiber
The third most common cause of U.S. cancer deaths
Risk factors: see Chart 38-8
Importance of screening procedures
Manifestations include change in bowel habits; blood in stool—occult, tarry, bleeding; tenesmus; symptoms of obstruction; pain, either abdominal or rectal; feeling of incomplete evacuation
Treatment depends upon the stage of the disease

Care of the Patient with a G-TubeCheck institution’s policy
for managementMonitor GI function and
tube insertion site at least once per shift
Assess gastric drainage for amount and characteristics each shift
![Page 26: Bowel obstruction colorectal ca](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/556484d1d8b42a8c5e8b55d2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Care of the Patient with an NG or G-TubeIrrigate q 4 hours.Flush a tube used for feeding with 30ml Replace irrigation equipment per protocol.Reposition as needed Clean nares, apply water soluble lubricant and retape
daily or prn. Oral hygiene Clean new abdominal tube site
![Page 27: Bowel obstruction colorectal ca](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/556484d1d8b42a8c5e8b55d2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Medication Administration by NG or G-TubeAssess for placement and flush with 30 ml water.When gastric suction prescribed, clamp tube for 20 minutes after
instillation of medications to allow for absorption. Avoid crushing sustained release, enteric coated products, or drugs in a
chewable or sublingual form.Administer crushed medications separately; do not mix together in
water. Flush with about 15 ml between each medication.Some medications, for example Dilantin, are rendered less potent when
given with tube feedings. For these medications, it is important to turn the feeding off for 30-45 minutes following medication administration. Check your institution’s policy for specifics.

Enteral Feeding Verify placement Verify formula, amount, and method of
administration upon initiation of feeding and minimally once per shift there after
Confirm placement Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, changes in
aspirates, abdominal characteristics, change in bowel sounds, onset of respiratory distress, hypotension, fever or significant change in UO.
Monitor labs (especially glucose levels). Assess weight. Elevate HOB 30 degrees – when and why? Aspirate for residual
