Snapshot A 56-year-old woman with a past medical history of hypertension and 3 cesarean sections presents to the emergency room for abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and nausea. In the emergency room, she has 2 episodes of nonbloody nonbilious emesis. An abdominal radiograph shows dilated loops of small bowel, suggestive of a small bowel obstruction. A nasogastric tube is inserted for gastric decompression. She requests an anti-emetic and reports that metoclopramide has helped significantly in the past. Her physician however chooses to avoid metoclopramide as it is pro-kinetic and not a good choice in small bowel obstruction.
