Water-Soluble Contrast Induced Intestinal Stimulation for the Treatment of Small Bowel Obstruction: A Feasibility Study
Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles
Summary
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.
