ch 64 Flashcards
most cases of PUD are caused by
H.Pylori
a group of upper GI disorders characterized by varying degrees of erosion of the esophagus, stomach and sm intestines
Peptic ulcer disease
major aggressive factors of PUD
H pylori
NSAiDS
gastric acid
pepsin
what are the defensive factors of the stomach against PUD
mucus
Bicarbonate
Blood flow
prostaglandins
H pylori is a gram
gram negative bacillus
what other things can H. Pylori lead to
PUD gastric cancer (gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas)
primary disorder in which hypersecretion of acid alone causes ulcers
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Smoking and PUD
delays ulcer healing and increases r/o occurance
Goals of drug therapy in PUD
alleviate symptoms
promote healing
prevent complications such as hemorrhage, perforation and obstruction
prevent recurrence
prophylaxis for NSAID induced ulcers
PPIs are preferred
Misoprostol is effective but can cause diarrhea
Treatment for NSAID treatment for ulcers
H2 receptor blockers and PPIS are preferred
d/c NSAIDS if possible
Treatment for H Pylori
Amoxicillin plus PPI plus Clarithromycin
if allergic to PCN how do you treat H pylori
Flagyl plus PPI plus clarithromycin
methods to determine eradication of H pylori
Breath tests
serologic tests
stool tests
microscopic of of a stained biopsy sample
what is the ulcer diet
a change in eating pattern may be beneficial - 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 large - reduces fluctuations in gastric pH and facilitate recovery
what should be avoided with PUD
smoking
aspirin - unless for heart disease
NSAIDS
when do you use ABX for pt that test positive for H pylori
only if symptomatic
abx that can be used for H pylori
amoxicillin clarithromycin flagyl metronidazole tetracycline
harmless adverse effect of Bismuth for H pylori
black coloration to tongue and stool
metronidazole or Tinidazole and alcohol
disulfiram like reaction
treat h pylori in places where resistance to clarithromycin is high
quad therapy Bismuth subsalicylate metronidazole tetracycline PPI or an H2RA
what is the sequential therapy for H pylori for those who cant take all at once?
PPI plus amox for 5 days
then
PPI plus clarithromycin plus tinidazole for 5 days
H2 receptor antagonists work by
suppressing secretion of gastric acid
How do you take Cimetidine (Tagamet)
when taken with food it decreases rate of absorption and beneficial effects prolonged
Cimetidine promotes healing of
gastric and duodenal ulcers treatment
lower dose for prophylaxis against recurrence
to heal gastric ulcers how long is needed with cimetidine
8-12 weeks
