Addition information�s
Frome the tutorial:
-To differentiate between the small bowel obstruction and large bowel obstruction we need to examine all GIT system (start from duodenum to the rectum) and see any part of GIT has been largely or distended or any changes of the shape.
(Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum, Caecum, Ascending Colon, Transverse colon, Descending Colon, Sigmoid colon, Rectum)
-To examine the large bowel we need to start the detection from the caecum, ascending colon, Transvers colon, Descending colon, Sigmoid colon and Rectum
-The duodenum and jejunum lies usually around the middle or more to the right side of the body.
– Small bowel obstruction is more concern.
