Overview

Mesenteric ischemia is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment. The mainstay of treatment is surgery if bowel necrosis or gangrene has occurred , whereas medical therapy is considered initially for hemodynamically unstable patients.

Medical Therapy

  • Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].
  • Pharmacologic medical therapies for mesenteric ischemia include heparin, [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].
  • Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].

Initial management:

Mesenteric ischemia is an acute emergency condition that requires prompt intervention. The outline of initial medical management of all types of meseneteric ischemia includes:

  • Pain control
  • Fluid resuscitation
  • Hemodynamic support and monitoring
  • Correction of electrolyte abnormalities
  • Anticoagulation
  • Broad sprectrum antibiotics
  • Gastrointestinal decompression

Cause specific management of mesenteric ischemia:

Management according to the severity of presentation:

Acute embolic mesneteric ischemia is managed according to the hemodyanamic stabilty or the presence/abscene of peritoneal signs.
