Case Report: Nutritional Management of Small Bowel Obstruction By Christine Bannon ARAMARK Dietetic Internships December 14, 2014 Abstract Purpose: Follow the Nutrition Care Process Case: 82 yr old female with small bowel obstruction (SBO) who required total parental nutrition (TPN) Previous hospital visit for SBO – noninvasive treatment and low fiber Hospitalized again for SBO secondary to adhesions PMH: Uterine cancer requiring hysterectomy TPN, lysis of adhesions, and right partial colectomy Discharged after 15 days on oral low fiber Disease Description – Small Bowel Obstruction The small intestine is a complex organ that plays a major role in the absorption of nutrients When contents of the intestine are blocked and unable to pass freely, this is considered a small bowel obstructions (SBO). Signs & Symptoms Abdominal distention Constipation Vomiting Abdominal pain and cramps Nausea Diarrhea Disease Description – Causes Mechanical - characterized by the narrowing of the intestinal lumen Inflammation or trauma to the bowel Neoplasms Adhesions (Most common) Hernias Volvulus (twisted bowel) Compression from outside the intestinal tract Nonmechanical - factors that interfere with the muscle action or innervation of the bowel Paralytic ileus Mesenteric embolus or thrombus Hypokalemia Evidence-Based Nutrition Recommendations Title: Reoperation on the Abdomen Encased in Adhesions Purpose: To determine the short and long-term outcomes after lysis of adhesions Method: 40 patients who had recently undergone lysis of adhesions were contacted to evaluate the outcome Results: 1 postoperative death, 24 early complications. 28 out of 31 had resolved SBO from the surgery Long-term outcomes: all subjects able to tolerate oral feedings Evidence-Based Nutrition Recommendations Title: Burden of Adhesions in Abdominal & Pelvic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Metanalysis Purpose: To estimate the burden of complications associated with abdominal adhesions Method: Analysis of 196 papers from PubMed, Embase, and Central which reported incidences of adhesion related complications Results: Increase risk of developing a SBO in open abdominal/pelvic surgery. Adhesive SBO associated with longer hospital stays. Case Presentation An 82 year old woman is admitted to the hospital after a night of worsening abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Patient was recently admitted one month prior for a SBO which was treated conservatively with no invasive processors. Since then, patient has followed a low-fiber diet. Once admitted, patient underwent a series of radiographs to diagnose her with another SBO and renal failure secondary to dehydration Nutrition Case Process (NPC): Assessment Past Medical History Hypertension High cholesterol Type 2 diabetes mellitus Hypothyroidism Arthritis Fractured spine and coccyx Osteoporosis Missing right kidney from birth Reflux Constipation Hysterectomy from uterine cancer which was last treated with radiation in 2005 Food/Nutrition Related History Lack of appetite for one week prior to admission Follows a low-fiber diet which was prescribed to her since her last hospitalization for SBO Lactose – intolerant Home medications can be found in Table 1 Nutrition-Focused Physical Findings No appetite at admission No identified chewing/swallowing issues with good oral health Trace bilateral edema in lower extremities Appeared well nourished No bowel movement for 2 days prior to admission Anthropometric Measurements 4’ 9” (57”) 121 pounds (55kg) BMI of 26.6 = overweight IBW: 100 pounds 121% of IBW Biochemical Data, Medical Test, and Lab Normal Patient’s Procedures Sodium Went through a series of x-rays and radiographs to confirm SBO Potassium diagnosis.
