  1. Slide 1: Intestinal Rehab | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | A child loses part of their bowel, and the remaining bowel dilates. | WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR BOWEL FUNCTION? | 1/6
  2. Slide 2: Intestinal Rehab | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE ANSWER | A DILATED BOWEL IS A WEAKENED BOWEL | When bowel stretches out in patients with short bowel syndrome, its walls can't squeeze the way they should. Food can no longer move along, and the dilated section stalls. | Dilated Bowel | 2/6
  3. Slide 3: Intestinal Rehab | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | Intestinal Rehabilitation, Episode 3: Enteral Autonomy, Part 2 | PODCASTS | Michael Helmrath, MD | Paul Wales, MD | Rod Cartonio, MD | Ellen Encisco, MD | A Production of OnlineCME.Live | As that bowel becomes increasingly dilated, its motility becomes impaired. | Paul Wales, MD, MSc | Surgical Director, Intestinal Rehabilitation, Cincinnati Children's | 3/6
  4. Slide 4: Intestinal Rehab | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | COMPLICATIONS OF SHORT BOWEL SYNDROME | CONTENTS POOL | With impaired mobility, food and stool stagnates in the stretched-out section. | BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH | Stagnant contents let bacteria multiply and inflame the lining | THE BARRIER BREAKS | The irritated lining leaks, bacteria slip through, sepsis can develop, and bowel absorption decreases | 4/6
  5. Slide 5: Intestinal Rehab | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE FIX | NARROW THE DILATED PORTION | Surgeons taper the stretched-out bowel wall, bringing the bowel back to a normal width and restoring bowel mobility. | 5/6
  6. Slide 6: Intestinal Rehab | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE TAKEAWAY | IN SHORT BOWEL, RESTORING NORMAL CALIBER CAN RESTORE FUNCTION | A dilated bowel reduces bowel mobility and absorption. | Surgically narrow the dilated section to restore bowel function. | 6/6
