Small Bowel Obstruction Admission Orders

Instead of filling out paperwork or relying on a PC to submit admission orders for small-bowel obstruction patients, physicians can quickly and easily submit the information electronically and the results are saved automatically.

It's important to treat conditions such as small intestine blockages, bowel ischemia and partial bowel obstruction quickly before they turn into more serious conditions. The app provides a fast way to submit admission orders when patients are suffering from acute abdominal pain and other symptoms, such as abdominal distention and gastrointestinal track distress. This ensures that patients can be admitted to the hospital or emergency department without delay. The admission orders form can be used to indicate when patients should receive a full physical examination, abdominal surgery, emergency room treatment or other care, and makes it easy for the admitting doctor to see what procedures have already been performed. Using the information from the results of previous tests can also help determine what led to the severe abdominal pain and physicians can follow up by checking bowel sounds, performing x-rays to look for intestinal obstructions, performing a CT scan and other procedures.
