STAGES OF CRC
Stage 3:
After the fourth day of post-op, Ted is not tolerating oral feeds, though, by the end of
the second day of post-op, he should be able to tolerate oral feeds. His abdomen is distended
with severe pain and a sluggish bowel sound but with no flatus to pass through. After his
surgery, the colostomy bag has been without an output; there might be some destructions
following the bowel content.
From his respiratory rate, he experiences some breathless and productive cough, and
he requires three liters of oxygen and an auscultation with an inspiratory crackle on the right
side. Ted must have developed some forms of lung infections. The infection is secondary to
stasis of fluid in the lungs during the operative period, and it is clear that Ted has a
colostomy, meaning that there has been some surgery on the colorectal region.
Stage 4
After the colorectal surgery, Ted has developed postoperative paralytic ileus and
right-sided pneumonia. The reduction in his bowel motility is a result of the paralytic ileus
due to mechanical intestinal obstruction being absent in the Teds case. The condition occurs
typically after the colonic surgeries with the patient being able to get an oral feed at the end
of the third day, which in the case of Ted is not.
For alteration in electric activities within Ted's body, the release of inflammatory
mediators as a result of the surgical stress is observed, which brings spinal and local neuronal
dysfunction together. They result in the paralyzation of the bowel segments and the
