Summary
Primary Objective:
To demonstrate whether an early fixed Somatostatin treatment improves the complete recovery
rate of early postoperative simple small bowel obstruction (EPSSBO) compared with the common
daily practice
Notes:
1. complete recovery= toleration of solid food+ flatus+ passage+ recovery of bowel
movement.
2. common daily practice includes:
- NPO (Nil per mouth), re-dehydration, TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) if needed.
Check & make sure stability of electrolytes daily.
- GI (Gastro-Intestinal) depression via NGT (Naso-Gastric Tube)
- Discontinue opiates, instead of NSAIDs. (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)
- Pro-dynamic drugs or other drugs which may interfere with GI (Gastro-Intestinal)
movement eg. anti-histamines, anti-cholinergic, opiates, anti-depressives are not
indicated.
Secondary Objectives:
To investigate whether an early fixed Somatostatin treatment will bring much benefit to
EPSSBO pts compared with the common daily practice,for this purpose,the study will
investigate the endpoints below.
