Abstract:
Causes of 90 lethal outcomes from acute intestinal obstruction were analyzed. Among them diagnostic errors were made in 10% of cases, late admission to the hospital and prolonged conservative treatment resulted in death in 37.8%, operative and postoperative complications--in 52.2%. A complex system of measures is proposed to reduce lethality of patients with this disease including all the stages of diagnosis and treatment.
