Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine may be elevated secondary to prerenal azotemia. Plain films are very helpful in diagnosing small bowel obstruction and should be part of the initial management of the patient. X-rays of the abdomen commonly reveal gas-filled, distended loops of bowel with air-fluid levels.

Complete – evident by lack of flatus, stool, or radiographic evidence beyond the point of obstruction. Large air-filled bowel loops will be seen on radiographs. Incomplete – marked by continuous passage of flatus, stool, or radiographic evidence beyond the point of obstruction. Classification Location – small bowel or colon. Etiology

Free air 1-2ml can be detected – not true. Lateral decubitis xray has high sensitivity for free air if the patient cannot stand. Definitive diagnosis is made in 80% of small bowel obstruction. Dose of radiation 50 times that of CXR. Most children < 3yo need diagnostic barium enema. 10. …

In most healthy adults, the small bowel contains little gas, and only 1 or 2 nondistended gas-filled loops may be seen in the small bowel. However, in the supine position, the duodenum cannot maintain an efficient water trap, and air may pass into the jejunum from the stomach.

Small Bowel Obstruction: most common cause: adhesions from prior surgery >50%; if no prior surgery: hernias and neoplasms - ~15% each; diagnosis: air-fluid levels on x-ray or markedly dilated air-filled loops of small bowel are suggestive. Large bowel obstruction: #1 neoplasm, #2 …

Obstruction. Occasionally a small bowel obstruction is not obvious on plain films. This is especially likely if the obstruction is very high or if the loops are filled with fluid rather than air. A small bowel study may localise the site and cause of an obstruction.

This mesentary has a broad attachment to the abdominal wall. When considering the length of the small bowel and its multiple loops and turns (similar to a bowl of spaghetti), it is truly remarkable that the bowel, or parts of it, does not twist on itself (forming a volvulus) more often. The reason for this is the broad mesentary attachment (1,2).

• Large bowel: proximal dilatation (>5 cm, and >9 cm for the caecum) owing to the accumulation of gas or faeces. An erect or decubitus X-ray may reveal a small number of long fluid levels proximal to the obstruction. Unless the ileocaecal valve is defective, the small bowel is not involved.
