This is a multi-centre clustered open label clinical trial testing the effectiveness of adding Gastrografin to standard non-surgical management of small bowel obstruction. Gastrografin is a radiopaque contract agent that exhibits a mild laxative effective due to its high osmolarity and ability to pull water into the intestines and bowels as a lubricant. Small bowel obstruction is a mechanical or function obstruction that prevents normal bowel function. The standard treatment for small bowel obstruction is non-surgical and includes decompressing the abdomen, fluid resuscitation, nothing by mouth, and time. In some cases if non-surgical management is not effective in resolving the obstruction, surgical intervention is required. Gastrografin in addition to standard non-surgical management has been shown to reduce the rate of surgery, length of hospital stay, and time to resolution in similar clinical scenarios, such as meconium ileus and meconium plug syndrome. However, it has never been tested in children with small bowel obstruction. This study is a clustered open label study, meaning that each participating centre will select the type of treatment they will offer at their centre. The treatment options are either the Gastrografin arm (a single dose of Gastrografin plus non-surgical management) or the Control arm (a single dose of saline solution plus non-surgical management). After each group receives saline or Gastrografin they will continue with the same non-surgical treatment that patients not participating in the trial would receive. Participating in the study does not preclude the need for urgent or emergent surgical intervention and at any point in the study, if the patient requires surgery for their small bowel obstruction they will undergo surgical intervention. The outcomes of this study are the rate of surgical intervention, length of stay, time to first and full feeds, and rate of complications.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | rate of surgical intervention | number of patients who require surgical intervention to resolve their bowel obstruction after receiving either treatment. | Through study completion, up to 6 months | |
Secondary | Length of hospital stay | The length of time the patient was admitted to the hospital for the treatment of their small bowel obstruction | Through study completion, up to 6 months | |
Secondary | Time to first feed | Since patients are NPO at admission, this will capture the length of time from admission to when the patient is first given oral feeds | Through study completion, up to 6 months | |
Secondary | Time to full feeds | Since patients are NPO at admission, this will capture the length of time from admission to when the patient consistently reaches their targeted caloric intake. | Through study completion, up to 6 months | |
Secondary | Rate of complications | Capture all Gastrografin-specific and other complications related to their hospital stay | Through study completion, up to 6 months |
