If only 5% of the doctors were this informative and helpful.

[@DudeProblemMeMuch]

because doctors arent there to give you lectures. they will not assume you can understand nor want this unless you ask to be educated.

[@opdrachtenhbovoedingendiet699]

You are great! The videos are helping me a lot to learn for my exam pathology. Thanks.

[@jimwilson5202]

Very clear : vomiting , abdominal distension and pain ,constipation and no bowel sounds & no gas . Treatment : nothing per mouth same as pancreatitis , NG tube , IV fluids & elctrolites , IV nutrition . Thank you .

[@diyallthings]

How do you manage IV fluids when the person has a blood pressure of 212/123 mmHg?

[@01xmidhat11]

@@diyallthings then you should think about using IV labetalol after discussing with your senior, perhaps.

[@bearpalomo6055]

Very clear and simple, thank you!

This happened to me after my appendectomy. Kept throwing up this green stuff even though I wasn't eating anything. They told me it was my own stomach bile. It lasted about a week or so before things started getting better.

My sister is going through this now. She had an endoscopy and the dr cut her duodenum. She had a stent put in, then got diagnosed with sepsis. Now she had ileus. My poor sister. My heart is breaking for her. Praying for her full recovery.

Good video. Detailed and to the point with side note. You should do a video on conditions that cause bowel pain after bm. And do a video on conditions that cause fat and carbohydrate malabsorption

I had this following end ileostomy surgery and it was so awful. The CT showed that I was backed up all the way from my stomach to the end stoma itself and lets just say when my small bowel decided to work it really worked. I passed so much fluid and ended up with a potassium deficiency which was duly treated. The vommiting was bad too for days.

[@khadija8889]

How do you feel now , does they inset the tube to solve the problem?

In 2017 I had ileus. It was caused by eating pizza from 7/11. Apparently the doctor said that that the pizza was expired that it give my stomach to have an infection. I was sick for a week. They put IV fluids in my veins and took medication to feel better. I had to go on a diet to make my bowels rest so they can work properly. The pain was the worst.

[@Draugluin999]

my stool stays stuck in my intestines i can push it out but its constipation 100% of the time also i get flare ups of pain which are my main problem and thing i want to get rid of this happened when i got a colitis infection colitis is gone but symptoms have stayed i am devastated and eventually will need psychiatry :(

I have a question sir. why patient with adhessions developing Ileus

[@user-hk1lj7yv9i]

I have that problem. And I don't know how to manage it. Surgery is not good solution, because adhesions came back, even more of them. Don't know what is safe to eat anymore.

Not “eye-lius” pronunciation …. But “ill-lius”, as in ill-eyum.

[@richhostetler9384]

Not even a word about pain management or how long it might take to treat. I had one after an emergency appendectomy. I was told to go home & eat & everything is ok. It did not heal & I was back to the ER in 3 days with an Ileus. It took 2 weeks of IV diluadid twice a day until I was better. No food or water, I got to swish water & spit it out. Taking a shower with an IV rack. One of my lifes worst experiences, to be sure. Of course this was back when hospitals were still allowed by the government to dispense according to patients needs. Now they are told by federal agencies who have been analyzing the opiates they prescribe that they WILL cut their prescriptions of opiates by a fixed percentage in this time frame & if patients suffer too bad. This literally does nothing to combat opiate abuse, the vast majority of abusers are not as many would have it, ex pain patients, they are 20-30 somethings. The only pain they've suffered is withdrawls.
