9. Fluoroscopy 2 Flashcards
what separates the left and right liver lobes
falciform ligament
what are the 3 organs involved in the biliary ductal system
pancreas
liver
gall bladder
what does the pancreas do
produces enzymes which assist in breakdown of food for the digestive system
what does the liver do
produce bile as a digestive function
what does the gall bladder do
collects, stores and concentrates bile
what are 3 structures taht ERCP is interested in
common bile duct, pancreatic duct and sphincter of oddi
what is the ampulla vata
where the common bile duct feeds into 2nd part of duodenum
what are the 3 hepatic ducts
left right and central
what are the 4 ducts involved in the biliary ductal system
hepatic duct
cystic duct
common bile duct
pancreatic duct
where is the cystic duct from
from gall bladder
where does the common bile duct enter
enters duodenum
what duct does the pancreatic common bile duct join
common bile duct
what are 9 clinical indicates affecting the biliary system
assessment/treatment of biliary obstruction congenital anomalies cholecystitis choledocholithiasis polyps cholelithiasis strictures malignant tumors jaundice
what is cholecystitis
gall bladder inflammation
what is choledocholithiasis
gall bladder stones
what is doledocholithiasis
common biliary duct stone
what does ERCP stand for
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
what are the 2 fluro procedures of the biliary systems
ERCP
T tube cholangiogram
what is an ERCP
endoscope into duodenum to access biliary system, diagnostic or therapeutic
Retrograde = going against the system/backwards
when is T tube cholangiogram used
during surgery when patient has gall bladder removed
what is the procedure of ERCPs
1/ endoscopic cannulation of ampulla vater
2/ retrograde injection of ICM into common bile duct
in ERCPs where is the endoscope cannulated into
ampulla vater
in ERCPs where is ICM injected into
common bile duct
what are the 2 types of ERCPs
diagnostic or therapeutic
where is the sphincter of oddi
valve is where pancreatic and common bile ducts meet
what are 3 conditions that are contraindications for ERCPs
unstable cardiopulmonary/neurologic/cardiovascular status
GI conditions that impede access
presence of acute pancreatitis
what are 2 tests that are done before ERCPs to prepare the patient
coagulation studies
liver function tests
what are dietary requirements for ERCP patient preparation
NPM overnight
what are the 3 premedications given to patients before ERCP
atropine
throat anesthetized (xylocaine spray)
glucagon IV
when is atropine given before a ERCP
1hr prior
when is glucagon given before a ERCP
10min prior to exam
what is atropine used for when its premedicated in ERCPs
to clear up saliva
what is glucagon used for when its premedicated in ERCPs
cause release of glucose from liver so drug reduces spasms in bowel and sphincter of oddi
what contrast media is used in ERCPS
omnipaque 350 diluted
why is omnipaque diluted in ERCPs
Diluted with saline as it goes into small ducts so need to make sure its not too dense or radiopaque as it may obscure a small calcificaiton
can stones in the common bile duct be removed
easily via ERCP but some can be too large to be pulled through spincter of oddi
what happens if the stone is too large in the common bile duct to pull out from the sphincter of oddi
sphincterotomy of the sphincter of oddi to widen the opening into the duodenum to remove larger stones
what is the procedure from start to finish of an ERCP
6 steps
1/ patient sedated and back of throat sprayed to numb the gag reflex
2/ antispasmodic drug is given to reduce spasms of the duodenum and relax sphincter of oddi for passage of endoscope and cannula insertion
3/ endoscope passed through mouth down esophagus into the stomach
4/ gastroenterologist observes the GI tract through the endoscope allowing advancement of scope through pyloric sphincter into descending duodenum
5/ cannula threaded through duodenoscope into ampulla of vater into the common bile/main pancreatic duct
6/ placement of cannula verified under fluoroscopy
what do staples in the bowels suggest in an ERCP
previous surgery - patient had gall bladder removed and there is a cystic shunt
how can ERCP be therapeutic in addition to diagnostic
if there is a tumor that obstructs flow of bile into duodenum, stent holds bile duct open to restore flow
what are 2 important things for the patient to know after the ERCP procedure
NBM following procedure as throat is numb
will be in recovery area until full consciousness regained
what are 7 imaging options for the urinary system
plain film KUB fluoro - MCU/cystogram/urethrogram Ultrasound CT urography Nuc Med MRI urography angiography
what is the collimation vertically and horizontal for KUB
T12-lower border of symph pubis
ASIS laterally
what are important structures to get on KUB
upper border of kidney and need bladder on
if you cant see both kidneys in KUB what do you do
coned renal view
what is the centering for coned renal view
center midway between xiphisternum and lower costal margin in midline
when do you take a coned bladder view
if you havent got upper symphysis pubis
what is urolithiasis
very big kidney stone
