Core Tip	This study demonstrates that implementing a multidisciplinary team (MDT) model in the emergency nursing pathway for patients with acute intestinal obstruction significantly improves emergency response efficiency, accelerates symptom relief, enhances patients’ quality of life, and increases nursing satisfaction. A 15-minute MDT huddle involving emergency, nursing, radiology, surgery, and laboratory departments shortens key process times and reduces early complications such as electrolyte disturbance, strangulation, or necrosis within 72 hours.
