Q

PROPHYLAXIS

for SRMB PUD

A

FLUID replacement -> restore mucosal blood flow

Intragastric pH > 4 = for mucosal protection

  • *Pharmacotherapy**
  • *anti-secratory** or Mucosal protectant

H2RA > PPI
by IV or PO route, make sure they can take PO first
only use PPI if
renal dysfunction develops thrombocytopenia or mental status changes while on H2Ra

Q

GIB Treatment

PUD

A

correct fluid loss

Endoscopic intervention

IV PPI
LD is equivalent to 80mg omeprazole
then do 8mg/h continuously for 72 hours

  • WHY NOT H2RA?*
  • does NOT achieve* pH of 6
  • does NOT PREVENT rebleeding / tachyphylaxis*

Q

Causes / Risks of PUD

A

NSAID USE = #1
H. PYLORI = #2
50% of population has H.pylori, 10-15% develop PUD

SRMD / Stress Ulcer

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome = ZES
gastrin-secreting tumor or hyperplasia of the islet cells in the pancreas resulting in recurrent peptic ulcers

Cigarette Smoking / Alcohol / Diet

Idiopathic / Radiation / Genetic Subtypes

MEDICATIONS = Steroids / bisphosphate / chemo / SSRI

16
Q

Complications of PUD

A

Active UPPER Gi Bleeding
PUD = MOST common cause of acute GI bleed

Perforation

Gastric Outlet Obstruction
scarring / edema

can require Surgery or cause Death

17
Q

Timing of PUD Symptoms

A

GU = Gastric
occurs SOON after a meal

DU = Duodnem

occurs usually 2-5 hours after a meal or during the night

18
Q

Ulcerogenic / Hostile Factors

vs Protective / Healing Factors

in PUD

A

Gastric Acid / H. Pylori / Pepsin
NSAIDS

vs

  • *Bicarb / Prostaglandins / Mucus Production**
  • *Blood Flow** to Mucosa
19
Q

Treatment Chart of

PUD

A

dyspepsia (indigestion) ->
Alarm Symptoms or >55 y/o

Yes -> EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy)

NO:
detect / treat H. Pylori
Advice DC of NSAIDS / Smoking / Alcohol / Drug
Administer antisecretory therapy = PPI f4weeks

20
Q

H. Pylori

A

Gram negative bacteria, sits between mucus/gastric epithelium

Produces UREASE –> hydrolyzes urea in gastric juice
–> Ammonia & CO2 –> buffer effect from gastric acid

NOT appropriate to test ALL PATIENTS

transmitted by:
oral/fecal/gastro
contaminated food/water
infected patients within household

21
Q

Non-Endoscopic

Tests for H. Pylori

A

Test whether ENDOSCOPY is Required
or Strengths / Weaknesses of each test

  • *Serologic Test**
  • easy, but positive might reflect a PAST INFECTION*

Urea Breath Test
useful before and after treatment
false negatives in presence of PPIs / other antibiotics

Fecal Antigen Test
useful before and after treatment
false negatives with PPI/antibiotics /bismuth

22
Q

Key Questions for

H.Pylori PUD Treatment

A

is there a PENICILLIN ALLERGY? PCN
use metronidazole 500mg TID –> instead of AMOX
in Clarithromycin Triple Therapy

Is there a PREVIOUS MACROLIDE EXPOSURE
MCL, for anyreason?

23
Q

What to do AFTER
H.Pylori Treatment for PUD

A

Check eradication using:
UBT (urease breath test)
FAT ( Fecal Antigen Test)
Biopsy
based test (endoscopic)

  • *> 4 weeks** after :
  • *completing AB therapy** & withholding PPI therapy for 1-2 weeks
24
Q

After H. Pylori PUD Treatment

if a SMALL <1cm Uncomplicated Ulcer?

A

sufficient with
Triple Regimen Alone + 4 Weeks PPI

follow up may NOT be needed

25
Q

After H. Pylori PUD Treatment

if COMPLICATED ULCERS

A

REPEAT Endoscopy w/ BIOPSY
after therapy completion to confirm healing

CONTINUE PPI THERAPY
antisecretory = PPI or H2RA

26
Q

What should a patient take for
NSAID-INDUCED PUD

if MODERATE (1-2 risk factors) GI RISK

A

or if also has HIGH CV RISK = needs a baby aspirin

NSAID needs to be taken with:

PPI** or **MISOPROSTOL
100-200 mcg QID

27
Q

PROPHYLAXIS / PREVENTION

of NSAID -Induced PUD

A

Only give to HIGH RISK PATIENTS
>2 GI Risk factors / CV Risk = baby aspirin need

  • *MISOPROSTOL** = Cytotec
  • *200 mcg QID**
  • not for PREGNANCY, also diarrhea / ab pain*

PPIs are also an acceptable alternative

H2RA / Sucralfate are NOT recommended for prophylaxis
Antacids / EC-ASA do NOT reduce risk of complications

28
Q

TREATMENT

of NSAID-Induced PUD

A

Discontinue the NSAID
if possible –> replace with other AGENT
(COX-2 inhibitor in non-CV patients)

Or Reduce NSAID DOSE** & **Add Ulcer Prevention strategies

low dose ASA should be held for 7-10 days

PPI = Agent of Choice
to heal NSAID-Induced ulcers
also when NSAID needs to be continued, or if H.Pylori is involved

29
Q

PUD-Related GIB

Signs / Symptoms

A

Hematemesis / Hematochezia
blood in VOMIT / STOOL

Melena
dark / sticky feces

Intravascular Volume Loss
HR > 100
hypoTension SBP < 100 / postural changes
Mucous mebranes

30
Q

Treatment considerations for PUD

H2RAs

A

Equipotent, generally do NOT want to use

RENALLY CLEARED

Tachyphylaxis = TOLERANCE to antisecretory effects

Cigarette smokers may need HIGHER dose / Longer treatment

DO NOT USE FOR GI BLEED
does NOT achieve pH 6
does NOT prevent re-bleeding

31
Q

Sucralfate

PUD Treatment Considerations

A

NOT often used for PUD

multiple doses / day

Large tabs

ADRs - Constipation / Seizures

need to seperate from interacting drugs

32
Q

NSAIDs & ASA

Effects on PUD

A

NON-SELECTIVE
INHIBIT BOTH COX-1 & COX-2

_COX1
DIRECT IRRITANTS
_
of the gastric epithelium

COX 2
Inhibition
of the endogenous
Prostaglandin Synthesis

33
Q

COX-2 Inhibitors

Effects on PUD

A

COX-2
Inducible
by Cytokines + GF’s

  • *Inhibition of the endogenous**
  • *Prostaglandin Synthesis**

COX = rate limitign step in:
Arachidonic acid –> Prostaglandins

34
Q

Pathophysiology of SRMD

A

Critical Illness
vasoconstriction / reduced cardiac output / Inflammatory release
v v v v
Splanchnic hypoPerfusion
reduced HCO3 secretion / mucosal blood flow
dereased GI motility / acid back
v v v v
ACUTE STRESS ULCER

35
Q

Salvage Therapy for
H. Pylori INFECTION - PUD

A

mainly based on:
WHAT THEY FIRST TOOK
Clarithromycin 3x Therapy /// Bismuth 4x Therapy
&
WHAT THEY ARE ALLERGIC TO
Quinolone /// PCN Allergy
