2 Digestive System Kong F, Singh RP (June 2008). "Disintegration of solid foods in human stomach". J. Food Sci. 73 (5): R67 80
3 Digestive System IAS smooth muscle EAS striated muscle
4 What influences digestion? Different foods Different speeds Emotional factors
5 What influences digestion? Changes of posture Physical exercise Gastro-colic reflex
6 Bowel Physiology Complete the process of digestion Move stool through peristalsis Form, store and expel faeces
7 Neurological Input
8 Neurogenic bowel Dysfunction of the colon (constipation, faecal incontinence and disordered defaecation) due to loss of normal sensory and/or motor control or both, as a result of central neurological disease or damage. Gastrointestinal symptoms related to autonomic dysfunction following spinal cord injury, Chung, Progress in brain research 2006
9 Neurogenic bowel Neurogenic function may be reflex, areflexic or mixed
10 Reflex bowel Damage to the brain or spinal cord above conus medullaris: sensory perception of the need for defaecation voluntary control of the EAS
11 Reflex bowel Modulation of colonic motor activity is lost and peristalsis movements continue though less effectively Recto-anal dyssynergia
12 Reflex bowel Intact reflex arcs through the conus medullaris maintain tone (reflex activity) in the anorectum Reflex activity could aid in bowel management
13 Areflexic bowel Damage to conus medullaris or cauda equina (below T12) EAS denervated and flaccid INCONTINENCE Autonomic motor nerves are disrupted due to damage to parasympathetic cell bodies
14 Areflexic bowel peristalsis, loss of effective stool transport in the descending and sigmoid colon and rectum (Banwell 1993) colonic transit time through descending colon, sigmoid and rectum (Krogh et al 2000, Leduc et al1997) CONSTIPATION
15 pressure in IAS Areflexic bowel High risk of faecal incontinence through the sphincter, as well as constipation (Steins et al 1997)
16 Bowel Management Programme of interventions designed to achieve effective bowel evacuation at a specific frequency, reducing its impact on quality of life, minimising associated morbidity and facilitating carer input Guidelines for Management of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals with Central Neurological Conditions September 2012
17 Bowel Management avoid faecal incontinence minimise or avoid constipation manage evacuation within a reasonable time,generally suggested to be up to one hour (Stone 1990) Guidelines for Management of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals with Central Neurological Conditions September 2012
18 Bowel Management optimise comfort, safety and privacy fit management in with the lifestyle of the individual, enabling activity without fear of faecal incontinence Guidelines for Management of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals with Central Neurological Conditions September 2012
19 Bowel Management use the minimum necessary physical and pharmacological interventions maintain short and long-term GI health identify appropriate transfer methods, equipment and adaptive devices Guidelines for Management of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals with Central Neurological Conditions September 2012
20 Bowel Management evaluate the outcomes of bowel management objectively by recording episodes of faecal incontinence, duration of bowel management episodes and stool form as described by the Bristol Stool Form Scale (Heaton 1992) Guidelines for Management of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals with Central Neurological Conditions September 2012
21 Bristol Stool Chart
22 Assessment of Neurogenic Bowel Patient history Physical examination Assessment of function Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
23 Patient history Premorbid gastrointestinal function Medical condition Current symptoms Current bowel program Medication use Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
24 Physical examination Abdominal assessment Assessment of anal sphincter tone Elicitation of anocutaneous and bulbocavernosus reflex Rectal examination Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
25 Assessment of function Ability to learn Upper extremity strenght and proprioception Hand and arm function Spasticity Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
26 Assessment of function Transfer skill Actual and potential risks to skin Home accessibility Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
27 Management of Neurological Bowel Designing a bowel program Nutrition Surgical and Nonsurgical Therapies Managing at home Monitoring program effectiveness Managing complications Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
28 Bowel Program From acute care to through life Minimize unplanned bowel movements Evacuate stool at a regolar time Predictable time 60 minutes of bowel care Minimize GI symptoms Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
29 Bowel Program Same time each day Ingestion of food 30 minutes prior to bowel care At least once every two days Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
30 Reflexic Bowel Program Chemical stimulant onto rectal mucosae Upright or side-lying position Assistive techniques (digital stimulation) Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
31 Reflexic Bowel Program Soft-formed stool consistency that can be readily evacuated with rectal stimulation Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
32 Areflexic Bowel Program Upright or side-lying position Valsalva maneuvers Manual evacuation Twice daily bowel care Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
33 Areflexic Bowel Program Firm-formed stool that can be retained between bowel care sessions and easily manually evacuated Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
34 Nutrition Fibers High doses are not for all patients with SCI >15 grams of fibers daily initially increases of fibers should be done gradually Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
35 Nutrition Water Balanced with bladder management 500 ml/day more than general public Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
36 Nutrition Water and fibers intake depend on the consistency of the stool and is therefore a factor strictly individual Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
37 Mechanical stimulation Alone or with chemical agents Digital stimulation (increases peristalsis relaxes EAI) Manual evacuation (method of choice in areflexic bowel) Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
38 Chemical rectal agents Bisacodyl suppository Glycerin suppository Neurogenic bowel management in adults with SCI Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, March 1998
