Chapter 22: MNT in GI Disorders (1) Flashcards
esophagitis - etiology
ingesting an irritating agent, by intubation, or by an infection
acute esophagitis
esophagus - disease
chronic, or reflux esophagitis, recurrent
can be caused by a hiatal hernia, reduced lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, abdominal pressure, recurrent vomiting, alcohol use, overweight, or smoking
gastroesophageal reflux
esophagus - medical mgmt
antacids, cholinergic drugs to increase lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure
esophagitis
esophagitis - dietary mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: prevent gastric reflux
low fat
esophagitis - dietary mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: prevent herniation and reflux decreases abdominal pressure
low calories for obese
esophagitis - dietary mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: increase LES pressure
high chon
esophagitis - dietary mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to prevent high secretion of acid and decreases of LES pressure
no alcohol, spices
esophagus - diseases
refers to the difficulty in swallowing
dysphagia
diet mgmt
liquid diets, small frequent feeding to facilitate swallowing
dysphagia
esophagus - diseases
failure of the LES to relax and open during swallowing
achalasia
diet mgmt
liquid diets, small frequent feeding to facilitate swallowing
ahalasia
esophagus - diseases
the stricture of the esophagus caused by fibrotic tissues, increased pressure of herniation from adjacent organs, and abdominal growth of tissues
esophageal obstruction
mgmt
medical surgery, radiation, or dilatation
esophageal obstuction
diet mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to facilitate swallowing
liquid diets
diet mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to provide nutrition when oral nutrition is inadequate or impossible
tube feeding when necessary
stomach - diseases
organic diseases of the stomach is characterized by the presence of a structural change in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) such as _____ and _____
petic ulcer and gastritis
stomach - diseases
functional diseases of the stomach are characterized by alteration in the function of the GIT without any structural damage of the GIT
-
stomach - diseases
an eroded lesion in the gastric mucosa or duodenum
peptic ulcer
stomach - diseases
symptoms:
burning sensation in the epigastric region, sometimes accompanied by weight loss, vomiting of blood
peptic ulcer
peptic ulcer etiology
stimulants of gastric acid secretion (stress, nicotine, alcohol, and spices), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gender (more common in males)
helicobacter pylori
stomach - diseases medical mgmt
antacids: counteract or neutralize acidity, magnesium-/aluminum-containing compounds
ex: maalox, mylanta
peptic ulcers
stomach - diseases
antibiotics: used to control h. pylori infestation, may be used in combination
peptic ulcers
stomach - diseases
histamine h2-receptor antagonists: histamine normally attaches to specific cellular receptors on acid-producing parietal cells and influence gastric acid secretion
-these drugs block acid production and release
ex: cimetidine (tagamet), ranitidine (zantac)
peptic ulcer
stomach - diseases
proton pump inhibitors: suppress hcl production by preventing the action of an enzyme that secretes hydrogen ions needed for hcl production
peptic ulcer
stomach - diseases
refers to the removal of the stomach
gastrectomy
stomach - diseases
diet: balance diet to provide optimal nutrition
blanc to prevent irritation
milk has been proven to cause rebound acidity
peptic ulcer
stomach - diseases
the inflammation of the gastric mucosa; characterized by vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea. and abdominal distention
gastritis
stomach - diseases
etiology: gastric stimulants like stress, nicotine, spices, and alcohol, poor dietary habits, drugs
gastritis
stomach - diseases
gastritis - diet mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to rest the organ
npo during acute attacks
stomach - diseases
gastritis - diet mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to replace fluid losses
IVF
stomach - diseases
gastritis - diet mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to provide optimal nutrition
balanced diet
stomach - diseases
gastritis - diet mgmt
diet: ?
rationale: to prevent irritation, correct faulty habits
bland, when necessary
gastric secretory disturbances - types
low secretion of gastric juices
