Overview of the Study

Intestinal obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the bowel that results in the failure of the intestinal contents to pass through. There can be different causes of intestinal obstruction. In the case of patient B.V., the cause is mechanical specifically constricting bond at splenic area. The blockages can occur at any point along the small or large intestine. They are more common in the small bowel. Over time, food, liquid, and gas build up in the area above the blockage. This can cause abdominal pain and swelling. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction may also include vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Complications from an untreated obstruction can include strangulation, which is cutting off of the blood supply to part of the intestine that may lead to necrosis. Some causes of bowel obstruction may resolve spontaneously but many require operative treatment. In adults, frequently the surgical intervention and the treatment of the causative lesion are required. In malignant large bowel obstruction, endoscopically placed self-expanding metal stents may be used to temporarily relieve the obstruction as a bridge to surgery, or as palliation. Additionally, acute appendicitis is defined as a sudden inflammation of the inner lining of the vermiform appendix that spreads to its other parts with the main symptom of abdominal pain. It is thought that appendicitis begins when the opening from the appendix into the cecum becomes blocked. The blockage may be due to a build-up of thick mucus within the appendix or to stool that enters the appendix from the cecum. The mucus or stool hardens, becomes rock-like, and blocks the opening. This rock is called a fecalith. After the blockage occurs, bacteria which normally are found within the appendix begin to invade (infect) the wall of the appendix. The body responds to the invasion by mounting an attack on the bacteria, an attack called inflammation. Some research suggests that appendicitis can get better without surgery. Nonsurgical treatment includes antibiotics to treat infection and a liquid or soft diet until the infection subsides. A soft diet is low in fiber and easily breaks down in the gastrointestinal tract. However, if the inflammation and infection spread through the wall of the appendix, the appendix can rupture. In Ruptured Appendix, infection can spread throughout the

abdomen which poses risks for peritonitis, systemic infection, and shock. Typically, appendicitis is treated by Appendectomy and can be done two ways. The older method, called laparotomy, removes the appendix through a single incision in the lower right area of the abdomen. The newer method, called laparoscopic surgery, uses several smaller incisions and special surgical tools fed through the incisions to remove the appendix. Laparoscopic surgery leads to fewer complications, such as hospital-related infections, and has a shorter recovery time. The patient is a 60-year old male Filipino who was admitted on February 27, 2012 at Sabal Hospital with chief complaints of abdominal pain and distention. He had a diagnosis of Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction Secondary to Constricting Bond at Splenic Area, Acute Appendicitis.

anatomy
Human Digestive System The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. In order to use the food we eat, our body has to break the food down into smaller molecules that it can process; it also has to excrete waste. Most of the digestive organs (like the stomach and intestines) are tube-like and contain the food as it makes its way through the body. The digestive system is essentially a long, twisting tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, plus a few other organs (like the liver and pancreas) that produce or store digestive chemicals. The Digestive Process: The start of the process - the mouth: The digestive process begins in the mouth. Food is partly broken down by the process of chewing and by the chemical action of salivary enzymes (these enzymes are produced by the salivary glands and break down starches into smaller molecules). On the way to the stomach: the esophagus - After being chewed and swallowed, the food enters the esophagus. The esophagus is a long tube that runs from the mouth to the stomach. It uses rhythmic, wave-like muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach. This muscle movement gives us the ability to eat or drink even when we're upside-down. In the stomach - The stomach is a large, sack-like organ that churns the food and bathes it in a very strong acid (gastric acid). Food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids is called chyme. In the small intestine - After being in the stomach, food enters the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. It then enters the jejunum and then the ileum (the final part of the small intestine). In the small intestine, bile (produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder), pancreatic enzymes, and other digestive enzymes produced by the inner wall of the small intestine help in the breakdown of food. In the large intestine - After passing through the small intestine, food passes into the large intestine. In the large intestine, some of the water and electrolytes (chemicals like sodium) are removed from the food. Many microbes (bacteria like Bacteroides, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Escherichia coli, andKlebsiella) in the large intestine help in the digestion process. The first part of the large intestine is called the cecum (the appendix is connected to the cecum). Food then travels upward in the ascending colon. The food travels across the abdomen in the transverse colon, goes back down the other side of the body in the descending colon, and then through the sigmoid colon. The end of the process - Solid waste is then stored in the rectum until it is excreted via the anus.

THE APPENDIX In human anatomy, the appendix (or vermiform appendix; also cecal (or caecal) appendix; also vermix) is a blind-ended tube connected to the cecum (or caecum), from which it develops embryologically. The cecum is a pouchlike structure of the colon. The appendix is located near the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine. The term "vermiform" comes from Latin and means "worm-shaped".The appendix averages 10 cm in length, but can range from 2 to 20 cm. The diameter of the appendix is usually between 7 and 8 mm.The appendix is usually located in the right iliac region, just below the ileocecal valve (designated McBurney's point) and can be found at the midpoint of a straight line

drawn from the umbilicus to the right anterior iliac crest. The inner lining of the appendix produces a small amount of mucus that flows through the open center of the appendix and into the cecum.

The wall of the appendix contains lymphatic tissue that is part of the immune system for making antibodies. During the first few years of life, the appendix functions as a part of the immune system, it helps make immunogobulins. But after this time period, the appendix stops functioning. However, immunoglobulins are made in many parts of the body, thus, removing the appendix does not seem to result in problems with the immune system. Like the rest of the colon, the wall of the appendix also contains a layer of muscle, but the muscle is poorly developed.

Schematic Pathophysiology of Acute Appendicitis

Predisposing Factors: Gender (more common in males) Age (10 to 30 y/o)

Contributing Factors: Diet; Low-fiber, high in Carbohydrate Swollen lymph glands (on the wall of the appendix)

Fecal mass
Ingestion of foreign bodies (may be in form of small swallowed beads, grain of fruits, cereals, fish bone or sand)

Precipitating Factor Occlusion of Appendix by Fecalith (Fecal Stone) Appendiceal mucus secretions continue Accumulated intraluminal fluid Congestion Increased ILP in the appendix venous return Decreased blood supply in the appendix Decreased Oxygen supply in the appendix Mucosal ischemia decreased WBC and other fighters of infection Luminal bacterial overgrowth

Giving health teaching regarding with his changing in life style. Discuss the purpose for the pt.s knowledge.

- Monitor vital signs. 1. Foods and fluid that containing caffeine has been restricted. 2. Family members of the pt. have been instructed to continue guide and support for the pt. usual bedtime rituals. 3. Family members have been instructed to always provide a quite

environment and do comfort. 4. The pt. must participate to some exercise for his regular activity to aid in stress control and to release of energy. 5. Has been recommended inclusion of bedtime shack for his paper diet. At the end of 3 days and 8 hours the pt. will be able to have been

instructed to experience good sleep pattern as evidence of sleeping for about 8 hours.

DIET

X. EVALUATION AND IMPLICATIONS Implementation which serves actual interventions I proven to be successful in the patient course of care. The patient cooperated and participated in the instruction given to him, by which I can proudly say that our nursing intervention was good.

I also learned to humble myself even more. I also realized that I need to thank God for giving me a healthy life and letting me care for those people in need. Indeed, nurses are given a healing gift by God. This care study has given me a lot of overview on the isolation setting. I was also given the chance to care for a patient in two days. For those days various nursing functions was rendered and it gave me the opportunity to develop and enhance my nursing skills. My over all general ward exposure at Medical Ward, Northern Mindanao Medical Center was a great one. Its a well learned exposure for us.
