Practical Treatment of Ileus - Proceedings of AAEP Focus Meeting - Quebec, 2005

چکیده
Treatment for ileus includes decompression of the stomach, replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses with parenteral fluids, and use of a variety of prokinetic agents. However, there is disagreement as to the effects of indwelling stomach tubes on reflux, the rate of fluid replacement, and the most effective prokinetic agents to use. Therefore, this review is intended to provide a rational, straightforward approach to management of this troublesome syndrome for the practitioner.
