Nasogastric Tubes and Water-Soluble Contrast With or Without Radiographic Imaging in The Management of Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction: A Feasibility Study
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is common yet, how to best manage it remains unknown. One approach is to administer water soluble oral contrast (WSC) and the obtain x-rays to determine how well the bowel is functioning. WSC may help resolve SBO by stimulating the bowel by itself. The intent of this study is to determine if the x-ray component of this therapeutic approach is necessary.
Our lead scientists for Small Bowel Obstruction research studies include Edward H Livingston, MD.
