In this condition there is a partial or total blockage of the intestine, which means that the content cannot pass through the intestine.

Among the causes of paralytic ileus are gastroenteritis, decreased potassium, kidney disease, infections within the abdomen, etc.
It is important to check the residuals that occur to see if the condition is progressing or improving. Also, if there is a reflux, the air outlet of the probe should be covered, since it can suffocate the patient.
