  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/intestinal-ischemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373946

  Intestinal ischemia (is-KEE-me-uh) refers to a range of conditions that happen when blood flow to the intestines slows or stops. […] There are treatments for intestinal ischemia. Getting medical help early improves the chances of recovery. […] Seek medical care right away if you have sudden, severe belly pain. Pain that feels so bad that you can’t sit still or find a position that feels OK is a medical emergency. […] Intestinal ischemia happens when the blood flow through the major blood vessels that send blood to and from the intestines slows or stops. […] Intestinal ischemia often is split into groups. Colon ischemia, also called ischemic colitis, affects the large intestine. Other types of ischemia affect the small intestine. […] This type of intestinal ischemia is the most common. It happens when blood flow to part of the colon slows or gets blocked.

• #2 Small Bowel Ischemia – American College of Gastroenterology

  https://gi.org/topics/small-bowel-ischemia/

  Small bowel ischemia (also called mesenteric ischemia) is a potentially life-threatening group of conditions that reduce blood flow to the small intestine (e.g., duodenum, jejunum or ileum). Symptoms can range from mild to severe depending on the cause. […] Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the best possible outcomes to restore digestive function. […] Small bowel ischemia requires prompt medical care to avoid damage to intestinal tissue that can lead to death. […] The outlook depends on the cause of the intestinal ischemia and how quickly you receive treatment. Acute small bowel ischemia requires immediate medical attention. If left untreated, the lack of blood supply to the intestines can quickly damage intestinal tissue and lead to tissue death. […] Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to improve your chances for a good-outcome. The longer you go without treatment, the higher the chance of irreversible damage to the small bowel and, in an acute case, death.

  Bowel ischemia can classify as small intestine ischemia, which is commonly known as mesenteric ischemia and large intestine ischemia, which generally referred to as colonic ischemia. […] This activity describes the etiology, evaluation, and management of bowel ischemia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients with this condition. […] Abdominal pain is the most common symptom in patients with intestinal ischemia. […] Patient’s characteristics, such as age over 60 years, not appearing severe ill, mild abdominal pain, tenderness, rectal bleeding, or bloody diarrhea, are the features that are more common in acute colonic ischemia. […] Generally, an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan is used in hemodynamically stable patients who present with acute abdominal pain.

  Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a group of diseases characterized by an interruption of the blood supply to varying portions of the intestine, leading to ischemia and secondary inflammatory changes. […] Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are the cornerstones of modern treatment to reduce the high mortality associated with this entity.

[…] Both in-hospital care and further bowel rehabilitation lead to increased survival and better long-term outcome with acceptable quality of life. […] Accordingly, the present paper aims to provide an update with recommendations based on the most currently accepted concepts in the management of AMI.

  Mesenteric Ischemia can be divided into Acute vs Chronic, and Small Bowel vs Colonic Ischemia. […] Acute Mesenteric Ischemia can be further divided into Occlusive vs Non-occlusive etiologies. […] Clinical presentation is classically that of acute onset of severe periumbilical pain that is out of proportion to physical exam findings, +/- nausea/vomiting. […] It is important to note that in nonocclusive disease, ~25% of patients may have no abdominal pain.

  The key to early diagnosis is a high level of clinical suspicion.

Generally speaking, nonocclusive AMI is treated medically, whereas occlusive AMI is correctable with surgery. […] All cases of mesenteric ischemia with signs of peritonitis or possible bowel infarction, regardless of etiology, generally warrant immediate surgical intervention for the resection of ischemic or necrotic intestines.

  Regardless of the specific type, initial treatment should include volume resuscitation with crystalloids to improve perfusion and oxygenation; provision of supplemental oxygen; connection of the nasogastric tube to suction and N.P.O. status for bowel rest; correction of electrolyte abnormalities; and initiation of systemic anticoagulation, unless there are contraindications. […] For suspected acute mesenteric ischemia, regardless of occlusive versus nonocclusive process, NPs should obtain a CTA as previously outlined to confirm diagnosis and attempt to determine cause. […] If acute mesenteric ischemia (regardless of type) is found on CTA and the patient has clinical signs of peritonitis, emergency laparotomy or laparoscopy is typically needed for resection of necrotic bowel.

  Mesenteric ischemia is a time-sensitive disease process as delays in diagnosis will lead to increased morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly patients. The first and most important initial action is to consider mesenteric ischemia in the differential diagnosis of all elderly patients with abdominal pain. […] The importance of early consideration and diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia cannot be overemphasized. Other initial actions will include large bore intravenous access, fluid resuscitation, and telemetry monitoring. […] Early surgical consultation is highly recommended so that the surgeons can closely follow the patient, do serial abdominal examinations, review the CT imaging with radiology, and take the patient to the OR rapidly thus saving as much bowel as possible. […] Initial treatment in mesenteric ischemia must focus on stabilization and resuscitation. Two large bore IVs with crystalloid fluids are necessary in patients, especially those who are hypotensive. Continuous monitoring of vital signs is paramount. Broad spectrum antibiotics covering bowel flora, such as ceftriaxone and metronidazole, should be started.

  Treatment of intestinal ischemia involves restoring the blood supply to the digestive tract. Choices vary depending on the cause of the condition and how bad it is. […] Your healthcare professional may suggest antibiotics to treat or prevent infections. Other medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure or an irregular heartbeat, also must be treated. […] You’ll likely need to stop taking medicines that narrow your blood vessels. These include hormone medicines and some medicines to treat migraine and heart conditions. Most often, colon ischemia heals on its own. […] For severe colon damage, you may need surgery to remove the dead tissue. You also may need surgery to bypass a blockage in one of your intestinal arteries. If you have angiography to diagnose the condition, it may be possible to widen a narrowed artery during the procedure.

• #93 Intestinal Ischemia – Short Bowel Foundation

  https://shortbowelfoundation.org/about-short-bowel-syndrome/blocked-intestinal-blood-vessels/

  Intestinal ischemia refers to a condition in which blood flow to the intestines is reduced or blocked, leading to insufficient oxygen and nutrients reaching the intestinal tissues. This reduction in blood supply can result in damage to the intestines and, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications. […] Treatment typically involves surgical intervention. The affected portion of the intestine, which has experienced necrosis, is excised, and the remaining healthy ends of the bowel are then reconnected. In certain instances, a colostomy or ileostomy may be necessary. If there is a blockage in the arteries supplying the intestine, efforts are made to correct it. Cases of intestinal infarction may necessitate either a temporary or permanent colostomy or ileostomy, and peritonitis is a common occurrence in such situations. The severity of the illness can lead to fever and bloodstream infection (sepsis). Intestinal ischemia is a grave condition that can prove fatal if not promptly addressed. The prognosis depends on the underlying cause, and a positive outcome can be achieved with swift and timely treatment.
