digestive system, ileus, x-ray of distended bowel, stomach, ileus, x-ray of bowel distension, intussusception, x-ray, volvulus, x-ray, small bowel obstruction, x-ray, small bowel resection, paralytic ileus, intestinal volvulus, bowel obstruction, ileus, pseudo-obstruction, intestinal, intestinal obstruction, partial, complete blockage, the bowel that results, in the failure, the intestinal contents to pass, obstruction, the bowel, ileus, the bowel doesn't function correctly but, no "mechanical", anatomic, problem, by mechanical causes, paralytic ileus, pseudo-obstruction, the major causes, obstruction in infants, children, paralytic ileus, medications, narcotics, intraperitoneal infection, mesenteric ischemia, decreased blood supply, support structures, in the abdomen, injury, abdominal blood supply, complications of intra-abdominal surgery, kidney, thoracic disease, metabolic disturbances, decreased potassium levels, paralytic ileus, lead to complications causing jaundice, electrolyte imbalances, newborn, paralytic ileus that is associated, destruction, the bowel wall, necrotizing enterocolitis, life-threatening, lead to infection, in the infant's blood, lungs, in older children, gastroenteritis a cause of paralytic ileus, is sometimes associated, peritonitis, a ruptured appendix, paralytic ileus, abdominal distention, absent bowel sounds, no noise heard, listening to abdomen, relatively little pain, compared to mechanical obstruction, mechanical obstruction occurs, movement of material, the intestines is physically blocked, mechanical causes, obstruction, numerous, hernias, postoperative adhesions, scar tissue, impacted feces, stool, gallstones, tumors blocking the intestines, granulomatous processes, abnormal tissue growth, intussusception, volvulus, twisted intestine, foreign bodies, ingested materials that obstruct the intestines, obstruction blocks the blood supply, intestine, tissue, die, causing infection, gangrene, risk factors, tissue death include intestinal malignancy, crohn's disease, hernia, previous abdominal surgery, abdominal fullness, gaseous, abdominal distention, abdominal pain, cramping, vomiting, failure to pass gas, stool, constipation, diarrhea, breath odor, listening, abdomen, a stethoscope health care provider, hear high-pitched bowel sounds, onset of mechanical obstruction, obstruction has persisted, too long, bowel has been significantly damaged, bowel sounds decrease, eventually becoming silent, early paralytic ileus, decreased, absent bowel sound, tests that show obstruction, barium enema, abdominal ct scan, upper gi, small bowel series, abdominal film, objective of treatment, decompress the intestine, suction, using a nasogastric, ng, tube inserted, stomach, intestine, relieve abdominal distention, vomiting, surgery to relieve the obstruction, decompression by ng tube, does not relieve the symptoms, tissue death is suspected, the obstruction, infection, gangrene, the bowel, perforation, hole, intestine, persistent abdominal distention develops, unable to pass stool, gas, symptoms of intestinal obstruction develop, prevention depends on the cause, treatment of conditions, tumors, hernias, related to obstruction, reduce the risk, obstruction, not preventable.
