Abstract
Presenting a 61 y.o. female with a PMH of BPD2, who presented as a trauma after jumping from overpass and underwent an emergent laparotomy for duodenal perforation. The duodenal perforation was repaired with a lateral tube duodenostomy placed at the second part of the duodenum. The patient's duodenostomy output acutely and significantly increased with bilious and nasogastric tube feed within 24 hours. She decompensated due to hypovolemic shock from high enteral losses from the duodenostomy tube. Duodenal absorption of fluid is crucial for maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance. I will present nutrition, fluid management and repletion in the setting of high duodenostomy output.
