Chapter 40 Flashcards
Gastric Mucosa components
Chief cells
Parietal cells
Thick mucous layer and bicarbonate ion protect stomach mucosa from acid
Chief cells
Secrete pepsinogen
Parietal cells
HCL production 1-3L/day
Activates pepsinogen to pepsin
Kills bacteria
Intrinsic factor for B12 absorption
Lower Digestive Tract components
small and large intestine
Small intestine
Location for most nutrient & drug absorption
Peptic Ulcer Disease causes
H Pylori in 90%
NSAID use
Helicobacter pylori
smoking increases reoccurance
Peptic Ulcer Disease Risk Factors
Family history Type O blood Glucocorticoids & NSAIDs Psychological stress NOT spicy foods
Duodenal ulcers
↑er in men, peaks 35-45 years of age
PAIN-FOOD-RELIEF
ulcers come and go and may need lifelong tx
Duodenal ulcers symptoms
Bright red blood in vomit
Black, tarry stools
Gastric Ulcers
↑er in women, peaks 50-60 years of age
H. pylori present in 50-70%
Gastric Ulcers symptoms
Burning/gaseous pressure Pain continues after meals Anorexia, weight loss, vomiting Nocturnal pain, nausea more commonly associated with CA
GERD can cause
esophageal ulcers, esophagitis, strictures
GERD symptoms
heartburn, regurgitation, early satiety, post-meal bloating, N&V, hiccoughs, “something in throat”
GERD risks
obesity
over 40
Meds that ↓ acid production
PPIs, H2 blockers, Antacids
Meds that ↑ mucosal protection
Prostaglandin analogue
Pepsin Inhibitor
Proton Pump Inhibitors ending
prazole
PPI long term use
decrease nutrient absorption
nexium decreases Mg
H2-Receptor Blockers action
↓gastric acid secretion by blocking action at histamine 2 receptors in parietal cells
H2-Receptor Blockers ending
tidine
H2-Receptor Blockers teaching
take after meals do not take w/ antacids (decreases abs) give at bedtime or take with food can cause confusion in elderly check kidney and liver function
cimetadine (Tagamet) administration
Not given often due to drug-drug interactions & take 4 x /day
cimetadine (Tagamet) adverse effects
agranulocytosis = ↓RBCs, WBCs, & platelets, impotence or ↓libido, gynecomastia, in men
Hepatotoxicity, psychoses, cardiac dysrhythmias, H/A, dizziness, constipation, pruritus, skin rash,
ranitidine (Zantac) administration
preferred over tagamet
given 1 vs 4x daily
Aluminum antacids
may cause constipation
aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel, Alternagel) catagory
antacid
aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel, Alternagel) adverse effects
minor; constipation, nausea
Prolonged use can limit phosphate absorption
aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel, Alternagel) teaching
does not heal ulcer or cure H pylori
Antacids teaching
do not take with H2 blockers
do not use w/ Mg in kidney disease
take 2 hours before or after other meds
stool may be white
milk-alkali syndrome
Milk + Ca+ carbonate cause ↑ Ca+
Pepsin Inhibitor function
Protect gastric mucosa
Pepsin Inhibitor example
Sucralfate (Carafate)
Pepsin Inhibitor teaching
take 1 hour before meals
take 4x daily
do not take w/ antacids (1 hour before or after)
decreases abs of other meds so take at different time
does not effect acid production
Pepsin Inhibitor side effects
constipation, dry mouth, nausea
Prostaglandin Analogue function
Prevents ulcers in NSAID, Prednisone use
↑ mucous ↓ acid secretion
Misoprostol (Cytotec) category
Prostaglandin Analogue
GI Stimulant (Prokinetic) use
given for GERD if other tx not successful
nausea/vomiting
Metoclopramide (Reglan) catagory
GI Stimulant (Prokinetic)
Metoclopramide (Reglan) adverse effects
drowsiness, fatigue, extrapyramidal and/or acute dystonic reactions , cholinergic-like effects, hyperprolactinemia
Metoclopramide (Reglan) dosing
30 min before meals and bedtime
Bethanechol chloride (Urecholine)
parasympathomimetic
Cholinergic
Bethanechol chloride (Urecholine) use
Increase tone of esophagus, stomach and intestines
improves digestion
Bethanechol chloride (Urecholine) contraindications
COPD, hypotension, peptic ulcer, recent GI surgery
Bethanechol chloride (Urecholine) administration
Must be taken 1 h before meals & bedtime
Give on an empty stomach
Bethanechol chloride (Urecholine) adverse effects
N & V, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, ↓ BP
