Intestinal intubation for barium produced bowel obstruction

  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Conclusion

  1. 1.

    Intestinal obstructhrn produced by the unintentional use of barium suspension in a case of partial bowel obstruction, was simply and effectively treated by intuhation with a single lumen tube of adequate caliber and holes of sufficiently large size.

  2. 2.

    Surgical intervention is not indicated to remove the barium.

  3. 3.

    Surgical intervention is definitely indicated after proper intestinal decompression in order to correct the obstructing process.
