Paralytic ileus - what does this mean
Paralytic ileus is a condition in which the muscles of the small intestine are unable to contract and push food through the digestive tract, resulting in a blockage. it is often caused by a disruption to the nerves that control the muscles of the small intestine, or by a change in the environment of the intestine, such as inflammation or infection.
What happens during the disease - paralytic ileus
Paralytic ileus is a condition in which the normal peristaltic movement of the small intestine is inhibited, resulting in a blockage of food or fluid. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as decreased nerve activity due to trauma, infection, or medications, or increased tension in the abdominal muscles due to inflammation or a foreign body. these factors lead to decreased pressure in the intestines, causing the muscles to relax and impairing the normal movement of food or fluid through the intestines.
