Condition: Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: The Use of Nasogastric Tubes And Water-Soluble Contrast In The Management Of Small Bowel Obstruction: A Feasibility Study
Brief Summary:
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the most common causes of serious gastrointestinal disease in the US.Adhesion-related SBO (aSBO) is usually treated by the placement of a nasogastric tube (NGT) to decompress the stomach, administration of intravenous (IV) fluids and observation by a surgical team.The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine the potential for implementation of treatment protocols for aSBO and determine the feasibility of randomizing patients with aSBO to receive or not receive NGTs…
