How Does A Bowel Obstruction Affect Bowel Sounds? - Nursing Knowledge Exchange
How Does A Bowel Obstruction Affect Bowel Sounds? In this informative video, we will discuss how a bowel obstruction affects bowel sounds, a key aspect of gastrointestinal assessment for nurses and healthcare professionals. We’ll begin by examining the changes in bowel sounds that occur when an obstruction takes place, including the initial high-pitched, hyperactive sounds produced by the intestines. As the obstruction progresses, we will explain how these sounds can diminish or even become absent, indicating potential complications. Understanding these variations in bowel sounds is essential for nurses to provide effective patient care. We will highlight the importance of regular assessment and how changes in sound characteristics can guide clinical decisions. Additionally, we will touch on other signs of bowel obstruction that nurses should monitor, such as abdominal swelling, pain, and changes in vital signs. By the end of this video, you will have a clearer understanding of how bowel obstructions impact intestinal sounds and the implications for patient management.
