It is normal for patients with intestinal obstruction to receive a large amount of fluids, because patients with intestinal obstruction will experience a large amount of water loss resulting in hydroelectrolyte disorders, so they need a large amount of fluids to maintain the homeostasis of the internal environment, which is a symptomatic treatment of intestinal obstruction. Massive rehydration for intestinal obstruction focuses on correcting the imbalance of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, and patients with massive dehydration will have hypovolemic shock. Patients with intestinal obstruction need to be fasted with no water, and their physical needs can be ensured through the infusion of nutrient solution (intravenous nutrition). There are many primary causes of intestinal obstruction, including tumors, intussusception, etc. Different primary causes have different treatment principles, but large amounts of rehydration are used as the basic treatment for intestinal obstruction. Patients with intestinal obstruction are usually in critical condition, and need to actively cooperate with doctors to identify the primary cause, actively treat, and follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid deterioration of the situation.
