Sometimes the diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction is difficult and the disease develops rapidly, which often leads to death. At present, the mortality rate is generally 5% - 10%, and that of strangulated ileus is 10% - 20%. Water, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance, as well as older patients with cardiopulmonary dysfunction are often the causes of death.

Third, mechanical ileus is caused by various mechanical factors in the intestine, intestinal wall and outside the intestine. Dynamic ileus is caused by dyskinesia of intestinal wall muscles, without intestinal stenosis, and can be divided into paralytic and spastic. The former is due to sympathetic reflex excitation or toxin stimulation of the intestinal tract, resulting in the loss of peristaltic ability, so that the intestinal contents can not run; the latter is caused by the excessive excitation of the parasympathetic nerve and the excessive contraction of the intestinal wall muscle.
