Researchers examined outcomes of patients with acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO) and adherence to treatment guidelines. A total of 45 patients were identified, with 13 admitted under general surgery. Despite all patients receiving admission bloods, ACPO management, often overseen by general surgeons, may impact conservative treatment quality and intervention timeliness. Further optimization is necessary to improve patient care in managing ACPO.
