rapid
acute gastritis
- example
over consumption of alcohol
chronic gastritis
- example
H pylori
is acute gastritis always need meds
no most times it is self limiting and can heal in 2 days
gastritis
- non erosive cause
helicobacter pylori
gastritis
- erosive cause
NSAIDS/ ASA/ Steroids
alcohol
radiation therapy

ulcerative
bleeding
eating away
how do NSAIDS cause erosion
inhibits production of mucosa
gastritis

erosive may casue
bleeding
bleeding in vomit apperence
coffee ground (old)
bleeding in stool old/upper GI
black/tarry
bleeding in stool new/lower Gi
bright red
gastritis care is
supportive
before EGD we would do what and why
CBC
- noninvasive/inexpensive way to see if bleeding
would we give these patients NSAID or aspirin
NO
preparation for EGD
NPO
lidocaine spray
conscious sedation
if we are prepping for EGD and it is an emergency and no time to become NPO what do we do
NG tube, check by pulling back and then low intermittent suction
if we chose to start the NG on low intermittent suction just by a pull back, would we administer meds or fluids through this
no, we would wait until X RAY to put things down the NG tube
if H pylori is noticed what would our pharm treatment be
PPI and 2 antibiotics for 10-14 days

isotonic
gastritis meds
antacids
H2 blockers
PPI
chronic gastritis might need what vitamin

chronic gastritis diet changes
no spicy foods
gastritis labs
CBC (bleeding)
type/screen/cross
INR/PT/PTT (clotting)
1 unit of blood is how many mL
350
what would we assess for fluid overload or depletion
mucous membranes
urine output
pulses
JVD
turgor
mental status
what would we assess for for bleeding
decrease BP
urine output
increase HR RR
hemoglobin
mental status
anxiety
what else should we know besides bleeding
estimate the quantity of loss
and color
peptic ulcer disease is more common where
duodenum
peptic ulcer definition
excavation (hallowed out area) that forms in the mucosal wall of the stomach

H pylori
NSAID
ASA
excess secretion of HCL
Type O blood
