THE UNDENIABLE IMPORTANCE OF ULTRASOUND IN DIAGNOSTICS ACUTE SMALL INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to study the informativeness of transabdominal ultrasound in the diagnosis and assessment of the effectiveness of conservative and surgical treatment of acute small intestinal obstruction.        

Material and methods. An ultrasound examination and analysis of 69 clinical observations of acute small intestinal obstruction in patients who were inpatient treatment at the clinical base of the Bukhara branch of the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Medical Care for the period from 2018 to 2023 were carried out.The data were compared with the results of X-ray (57 patients) and laparoscopic (10 patients) research methods. Echography was carried out on ultrasound devices “Esaote MyLab 40” and “SonoScape S40” using convex and sector sensors with a frequency of 1-22 MHz.                                

 It has been established that the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute small intestinal obstruction is justified from a tactical point of view, since it does not take too long, does not aggravate the patient’s condition, is sufficiently informative and does not incur radiation exposure. Due to its safety and ease of use, this technique can be used many times during conservative treatment to determine further treatment tactics.
