This functional impairment predominantly affects surgical and hospitalized populations, arising most frequently following abdominal or pelvic operations, severe systemic illness, or opioid administration Prophylaxis targets these mechanisms to prevent hallmark manifestations such as marked abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, delayed passage of flatus or stool, and intolerance to enteral nutrition

Pathophysiologically, it results from surgical manipulation, local neurogenic reflex hyperactivity, activation of local inflammatory cascades within the muscularis externa, and disruption of enteric neurotransmission
