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

Discharge Care



Outpatient F/U in 2 weeks

Wear abdominal binder when out of bed X 2 months

Ice for discomfort

Low-fiber diet
Conclusion

SBO is a serious medical and nutritional concern that can lead to lengthy
hospital stays. Clinicians needs to monitor GI function daily in order to prevent
GI atrophy

TPN plays an essential role in the management of electrolytes and can supply
adequate nutrients when enteral feedings can not be done

Patients should be routinely cautioned on the risk and complications associated
with adhesions before undergoing any abdominal or pelvic surgery
