Overview
Ogilvie syndrome
- Supportive care is recommended in patients with colonic pseduo-obstruction in order to prevent the development of serious complications like intestinal perforation.

- The supportive measures include the following:[1]
- Following up of any underlying cause like heart failure or infection
- Terminating any concurrent medication that may cause intestinal dysmotility like opoids and calcium channel blockers
- Administration of intravenous saline and fluids in order to preserve the normal body homeostasis
- Placement of the patients in a prone position with elevation of the hips
