Paralytic Illeus: Diagnosis and Treatment

Paralytic Illeus can be confirmed by doing a X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound or a barium enema. The condition requires a child to be hospitalized. The treatment and prognosis of Paralytic Illeus is very much dependent on the cause.

Normally a child will not be allowed to eat or drink anything but will receive nutrition via a IV-drip. A nasogastric tube may be inserted to help drain fluids and gas that is trapped in the stomach. In cases where it is suspected that a mechanical obstruction is causing the paralysis, a laparotomy may be considered. This means a during surgery a incision is made in the abdomen to remove the obstruction.

In some cases medication might be given through the IV-drip to try and get the intestines to start working again.

Alternative methods of treating Paralytic Illeus include Acupuncture, Chinese herbs and  Homeopathy. These could be a option if the condition is not a life-threatening one.
