The Role of Anesthetic Techniques and Drugs in Laparotomy Cases of Postoperative Ileus

Background: Ileus is a non-mechanical decrease in intestinal
contents, affecting the neuroimmune system. It presents with
bloating and abdominal distension. Diagnosis involves abdominal
films and CT scans. Treatment involves treating the underlying cause,
including infection, electrolyte abnormalities, and opiate use.
Anesthesia procedures, recovery protocols, regional anesthesia,
opioid-sparing analgesics, and laparoscopy improve postoperative
ileus cases.
Case Presentation: The following is a 67-year-old male patient who
presents with abdominal pain with a scale of 4 out of 10, diagnosed
with ileus, which was planned for laparotomy surgery by general
anesthesia with a supine position.
Conclusion: We conclude that anesthetic procedures are critical in
ileus patients in performing laparotomy operations, both in selecting
anesthetic techniques, anesthetic drugs, and supporting scores
(Aldrete score). Before induction, anesthesiologists must carefully
assess preoperative and monitor postoperative.
