EPA Playbook: Small Bowel Obstruction

Join Drs. Georgoff, Burke, and Premkumar in this episode of EPA Playbook, where we tackle the evaluation and management of small bowel obstruction. Through a realistic series of scenarios, we walk step-by-step through how junior residents can approach this diagnosis using an evidence-based approach.

We break down the key components of the small bowel obstruction EPA, from rapid initial assessment and focused physical exam to early resuscitation, recognizing when to go straight to the OR, and post-operative care. Along the way, we highlight critical teaching points you’ll actually use on call. Whether you’re a new intern or an early resident looking to build confidence, this episode is designed to help you act decisively and move one step closer to entrustment.
