129
Q

describe dumping syndrome

A

follows a gastrectomy (billroth 1 and 2)
- cramps, rapid pulse, weakness, perspiration, dizziness
- when rapidly hydrolyzed carbohydrates enter the jejunum, wanter is drawn in to achieve osmotic balance. this causes a rapid decrease in vascular fluid compartment and decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. Blood pressure drops. two hours later, carbs are digested and absorbed rapidly, blood sugar rises, stimulating an overproduction of insulin, causing a drop in blood sugar below fasting.
- can lead to anemia (B12 or folate deficiency)
- diet: frequent small meals, fluids before or after to slow passage. 50-60% complex carbs and protein at meals with limited fat

130
Q

Billroth 1

A

gastroduodenostomy
-attaches the remaining stomach to the duodenum

131
Q

Billroth 2

A

gastrojejunostomy
- attaches stomach to jejunum (secretion of secretin and pancreozymin is reduced- due to bypassing duodenum- these hormones stimulate the pancreas so there is little pancreatic secretion and calcium and iron absorption are affected)

132
Q

describe gastroparesis

A
  • delayed gastric emptying: surgery, diabetes, viral infections, obstructions
  • moderate to severe hyperglycemia: detrimental effects on gastric nerves
  • prokinetics (erythromycin, metoclopramide) increase stomach contractility

A

-provides indigestible bulk, promotes intestinal function
- dietary fiber: non-digestible carbs and lignin, binds water, increases fecal bulk
- soluble fiber decreases serum cholesterol by binding bile acids converting more cholesterol into bile
- soluble fibers (pectins, gums) delay gastric emptying, absorb water, form soft gel in the small intestine; slows passage and delays or inhibits absorption of glucose and cholesterol
- high fiber diet may increase need for Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Se, Zn, Fe

-chronic abdominal discomfort, altered intestinal motility, bloating
-goals: adequate nutrition intake, avoid large meals, excess caffeine, alcohol or sugars

142
Q

describe lactose intolerance

A
  • normally lactase splits lactose into glucose and galactose. Without lactase, there is high hyperosmolar pressure and water is drawn into the intestine to dilute the load. This causes distention, craps ,etc. Bacteria then ferment the undigested lactose, releasing CO2 gas.
  • detected by breath hydrogen test. hydrogen is produced by colonic bacteria on lactose, absorbed into bloodstream and exhaled 60-90 min later.
  • lactose tolerance test- oral dose of lactose (up to 50g) after a fast. if intolerant of lactose, blood glucose will rise <25 mg/ml above fasting. of tolerant, glucose will rise >25 mg/ml.
    -diet: no animal milk or milk products, no whey.
  • calcium and riboflavin supplements are recommended

A
  • loss of ileum (especially distal 1/3), loss of ileocecal valve, loss of colon are off concern
  • most digestion takes place in the first 100 cm of intestine (duodenum and 1/2 of jejunum) what remains- small amounts of sugars, starches, fibers, lipids
  • nutrition care:
    - PN initially to restore and maintain nutrient status
    - enteral - start early to stimulate growth (may take weeks or months to transition to food)
    - for ileum resection: use MCT, limit fat, supplement fat soluble vitamins, Ca, Mg, Zn, B12
    - for jejunal resection: normal balance of carbs, proteins, fats. avoid lactose, oxalates and large numbers of concentrated sweets
147

A
  • ileum can adapt and take over jejunal functions
148
Q

describe ileal resection

158
Q

describe alcoholic liver disease

A
  • hepatic steatosis, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis
  • alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde and excess hydrogen which disrupts liver metabolism.
    1. hydrogen replaces fat as fuel in the krebs cycle so fat accumulates in liver leading to fatty liver and high TG in blood.
  • malnutrition: alcohol replaces food, inflammation of GI tract interferes with absorption of thiamin, B12, vit C and folic acid, folate and protein deficiencies, thiamine deficiencies.
159
Q

describe hepatic failure (ESLD)

A
  • liver function decreased to 25% or less
  • liver cannot convert ammonia (NH2) into urea- ammonia accumulates

160
Q

describe cholecytitis

A

  • waist measurements >/= 102 cm (40 in) in men and >/= 88 cm (25 in) in women
  • low HDL <40 mg/dl in men and <50 mg/dl in women
178
Q

describe heart failure

A
  • weakened heart fails to maintain adequate output, resulting in diminished blood flow so fluid is held in tissues (Edema) ; dyspnea (shortness of breath)
  • reduced blood flow to kidneys causes secretion of hormones that hold in sodium and fluid leading to weight gain
  • digitalis increases strength of heart contraction
  • diuretics- nutrient loss, glucose intolerance, increased serum uric acid
  • diet: low sodium, DASH diet, low fluid
  • evaluate thiamin status (loss with loop diuretics)- without thiamin, pyruvate cannot be converted into acetyl coA for energy so heart muscle is deprived
