What is this condition and common causes of it? If the cause is neural, which division of nervous system will be affected? Drug may be used and route of administration?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information regarding a medical condition known as paralytic ileus, specifically its definition, common causes, and the affected division of the nervous system when the cause is neural, as well as possible medication and its route of administration.
Answer
Paralytic ileus; caused by surgery, infections, medications. It affects the parasympathetic system. Neostigmine IV is used.
The condition is paralytic ileus. Common causes include abdominal surgery, infections, and certain medications. If the cause is neural, the autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic division, is affected. Neostigmine may be used, administered intravenously.

More Information
Paralytic ileus occurs when there is a lack of movement in the intestines. Postoperative ileus is often due to surgical manipulation of the intestines and the use of anesthetics. Neostigmine enhances gastrointestinal motility.
Tips
Ensure correct identification of the nervous system division involved. Misidentifying the condition or the affected system may lead to incorrect treatment.
