  • Title: Studies on small intestinal obstruction. II. Blood flow, vascular resistance, capillary filtration, and oxygen consumption in denervated small bowel after obstruction.
    Author: Ohman U.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1975; 141(5):417-23. PubMed ID: 1181804.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal circulation was studied during in vitro perfusion of denervated small intestine of the cat shortly after release of an in vivo small-bowel obstruction. Blood flow, vascular resistance, capillary filtration, and oxygen consumption were determined. No significant differences were demonstrated between obstructed and non-obstructed intestines. The presently studied facets of small-bowel microcirculation thus exhibit a virtually normal function 30 minutes after decompression of a bowel obstruction. The pertinent literature affords evidence that a distension impairs bowel viability; it would seem that this impairment is rapidly ameliorated following decompression of the bowel.
