Q

Upper GI bleeding

A

Esophagus, stomach, or duodenum –

26
Q

Lower GI bleeding

A

• Below the ligament of Treitz: bleeding from the

jejunum, ileum, colon, or rectum

27
Q

_______ and _______are common
complications of GI tract disorders.
Electrolytes

A

Dehydration and hypovolemia

Lost in vomiting and diarrhea
• Acid-base imbalances
• Diarrhea causes loss of bicarbonate.

28
Q

Metabolic alkalosis

A

• Results from loss of HCl w/ vomiting

29
Q

Metabolic acidosis

A

Severe vomiting causes a change to metabolic acidosis

due to the loss of bicarbonate of duodenal secretions.

30
Q

Types of abdominal pain

A
  • Visceral
  • Somatic
  • Referred
31
Q

VISCERAL: Burning sensation –

A

Inflammation and ulceration in upper GI tract

32
Q

VISCERAL :Dull, aching pain –

A

Typical result of stretching of liver capsule

33
Q

VISCERAL:Cramping or diffuse pain –

A

Inflammation, distention, stretching of intestines

34
Q

VISCERAL: Colicky, often severe pain –

A

Recurrent sooth muscle spasms or contraction

Response to severe inflammation or obstruction

35
Q

Somatic pain receptors directly linked to spinal

nerves –

A

May cause reflex spasm of overlying abdominal
muscles
Steady, intense, often well-localized pain
Rebound tenderness” – over area of involvement / inflammation of peritoneum

36
Q

Malnutrition:

2 types

A

Vitamin B12 deficiency = pernicious anemia

– Iron deficiency = iron deficient anemia

37
Q

Antacids

A

– To relieve pyrosis

38
Q

• Antiemetics

A

– To relieve vomiting

39
Q

• Laxatives or enemas

A

– Treatment of acute constipation

40
Q

Antidiarrheals

A

– Reduction of peristalsis

– Relieve cramps

41
Q

Sulfasalazine

A
  • Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial

– For acute episodes of inflammatory bowel disease

42
Q

• ABX

A
  • Clarithromycin Clarithromycin or azithromycin azithromycin
    – Effective against Heliobacter pylori infection
    • Usually combined with a proton pump inhibitor
43
Q

Sucralfate

A

Coating agent
– Enhance gastric mucosal barrier against irritants
such as NSAIDs

44
Q

Anticholinergic drugs

A

Reduce secretions &motility

45
Q

H2 blockers

A

Useful in gastric reflux

46
Q

• PPIs

A

Reduce gastric secretion

47
Q

Disorder: Cleft lip palate: Intubation

A

May require intubation with RAE endotracheal tube for

surgical repair

48
Q

Fistula complicates airway because

A

airway connected to esophagus

49
Q

Dilation may

A

cause airway impingement

50
Q

GERD

Anesthesia concenrs is aspration

A

Anesthesia concerns: Aspiration
• Possible related respiratory concerns with GERD:
• Laryngitis
• Recurrent pneumonia
• Asthma (50% of pt.s have endoscopic evidence of
esophagitis)

51
Q

Hemorrhage

A
  • Due to erosion of blood vessels
  • Common complication
  • May be the first sign of a peptic ulcer
52
Q

Obstruction

A

• May result later due to the formation of scar tissue

53
Q

Perforation

A
  • Ulcer erodes completely through the wall.
  • Chyme can enter the peritoneal cavity.
  • Results in chemical peritonitis
54
Q

DUMPING syndrome

Hyperosmolar chyme draws what?

A
fluid from vascular compartment into intestine.
– Intestinal distention
– Increased intestinal motility
– Hypotension, Tachycardia, Diaphoresis,
Pallor
55
Q

Hypoglycemia __________

A

2-3 hours after meal
High glucose levels in chyme stimulate
increased insulin secretion → hypoglycemia

56
Q

Acute pancreatitis

A

Pancreas lacks a fibrous capsule
***** Hypovolemia and circulatory collapse may follow
– Destruction may progress into tissue surrounding the
pancreas
– Substances released by necrotic tissue lead to
widespread inflammation

failure occur in

A

25% of patients

– GI hemorrhage & DIC may also occur

58
Q

Gastrinoma

A

• Large volumes of gastric fluid usually present at
time of anesthesia induction = ↑risk of reflux / aspiration.
• Profuse watery diarrhea = hypokalemia & metabolic
alkalosis.
• IV ranitidine (H2 blocker) useful for preventing acid
hyper-secretion intra-op

59
