Intestinal Obstruction: High-Yield Causes, Imaging & Management

Quick, high-yield rundown of intestinal obstruction for med students, junior doctors, and surgical trainees. What you’ll learn in this video Clear classification of causes for Small Bowel vs Large Bowel obstruction (intraluminal, intramural, extraluminal). Key clinical features and bedside pearls (what to look for on exam). Imaging approach & interpretation: abdominal X-ray (AXR), erect chest, ultrasound, and when to get CT. Management pathway: resuscitation, nasogastric decompression, conservative vs operative indications, antibiotics, and emergency red flags (strangulation, ischemia, perforation). High-yield differential diagnoses and common pitfalls for exams and clinical practice. Clinical pearls Adhesions are the most common cause of SBO in patients with prior abdominal surgery; hernias and malignancy are top causes for LBO. AXR is great for quick screening; CT is the study of choice for location, cause and signs of strangulation. Resuscitate first (IV fluids, correct electrolytes), decompress (NG tube if vomiting/distension), then decide between conservative management vs urgent surgery based on clinical and imaging red flags. If you want a printable table that groups causes (intraluminal / intramural / extraluminal) for small and large bowel — type “TABLE” in the comments and I’ll post it.
