Although explorative laparotomies should still be highly discouraged in CIPS, sometimes the decision for surgical intervention has to be made if there is enough evidence of true mechanical obstruction.
In conclusion, these two cases illustrate that awareness of the possibility of true mechanical obstruction, as a complication of CIPS, is needed in CIPS patients without improvement of an exacerbation on conservative treatment.
As illustrated by our two cases, recognition of true mechanical obstruction is however important as it usually requires acute surgical intervention and is potentially life threatening when treatment is omitted.
Conclusion: Awareness of the possibility of true mechanical obstruction in CIPS patients during an exacerbation episode is needed, as this is a severe condition and usually requires surgical intervention.
He is looking for events (such as airway obstruction, true haemoglobin desaturation and hypovolaemia).
That kind of obstruction is true to form in Texas, which has executed 464 people since the death penalty was re-introduced to the US more than three decades ago, giving it one of the world's busiest death rows outside Saudi Arabia and China.
Particularly disturbing is McClellan's assertion that he was specifically directed by Andy Card to 'vouch' for Scooter Libby after the investigation had begun, which, if true, could amount to obstruction of justice beyond that for which Mr. Libby has already been convicted.

"Now people say, you're building a wall, you must be a racist, but that's not true," he added, comparing the obstruction to locking your door at night even though you don't hate your neighbors.
True glossoptosis or other supraglottic obstruction can be diagnosed by this measure (Fig. 3).
However, after 2006, MDO has become our surgical procedure of preference when a supraglottic obstruction and a true micrognathia together with a normal functioning temporomandibular joint are present [ 56].
