In cases of paralytic ileus, it is of paramount importance to ensure the patient is receiving adequate hydration and nutrition. Decompression treatment is often employed to attempt to clear the blockage, as is medication. However, some cases of paralytic ileus will require surgery.

Why is an NG tube used for a paralytic ileus?

An NG (nasogastric) tube is used for a paralytic ileus to relieve abdominal distension and prevent complications associated with the accumulation of gastric contents. By decompressing the stomach, the tube helps reduce pressure and discomfort, allowing for the bowel to potentially resume normal function. Additionally, it helps to remove any gastric secretions and prevent aspiration, particularly in patients who cannot tolerate oral intake. Overall, the NG tube aids in managing symptoms and facilitating recovery in cases of paralytic ileus.
