Guidelines for Management of Patients with a Short Bowel

Nightingale, J et al. “Guidelines for management of patients with a short bowel.” Gut vol. 55 Suppl 4,Suppl 4 (2006): iv1-12. doi:10.1136/gut.2006.091108.

Aim
These guidelines aim to help clinicians manage patients who have had an intestinal resection that leaves a short length (about 2 m or less) of small bowel remaining.

The resulting document was shown to clinicians at the intestinal units of Hope and St Mark’s Hospitals. Professor A Forbes made recommendations, which have been incorporated. The article was reviewed by the patient organisation PINNT (patients on intravenous or nasogastric nutritional therapy) and modifications made to result in the current document.
