Sterile intestinal decompression

The purpose of intestinal decompression is to eliminate the accumulation of gas and fluid in the intestine, eliminate intestinal swelling, improve exposure, and facilitate surgical operation; at the same time, exclude toxic substances in the intestinal cavity, reduce symptoms of poisoning, and help recover the condition. Intestinal decompression is rarely seen clinically as a simple intestinal decompression, and it is often a part of intestinal obstruction surgery.
