Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Management of Malignant Bowel Obstruction (MBO) in Patients with Advanced Gynecological Cancers

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Guidelines for the management of patients with Malignant Bowel Obstruction(MBO) are not available and as such, there remains an urgent need for a collaborative approach to streamline patient care and optimize use of hospital resources. This study will focus on management of MBO in advanced gynecological cancers.If patients with MBO can be effectively managed in an ambulatory setting, this may improve quality and consistency of patient care, and help reduce volume and duration of bed occupancy.

Management algorithm for Malignant Bowel Obstruction

a proposed management algorithm for MBO has been developed to provide a pathway that safeguards quality and continuity of care for patients under a multidisciplinary team. It will engage key-stakeholders and foster an inter-professional approach. It incorporates an in-patient management algorithm and a novel nursing-led ambulatory management algorithm to supplement patient's medical management
