How do they fix an ileus?
Treatment of an ileus requires time and supportive management. Bowel rest, intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, and, if warranted, nasogastric (NG) decompression are important steps. Historically these treatments were thought to lower complications and improve outcomes, but a recent review of the evidence shows otherwise.
