Q

Hepatobiliary scan
Tracer, mechanism

A

Tc-labeled HIDA bind to albumin - - extracted by hepatocyte similar to bile salts, free fatty acids, bilirubin - - secreted in biliary canaliculi without conjugation
2/3 enter gallbladder via cystic duct
1/3 into duodenum via CBD and sphincter Oddi
Dynamic 60 min - - activity in biliary ducts 10-30 min, in bowel by 60 min

Tc-Disofenin - even when bilirubin >25 mg/dL
Tc-mebrofenin - higher liver extraction 98% vs 89%, more rapid biliary clearance 17 min vs 19 min - - preferred if moderate-severe hepatic dysfunction, in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia min 1 mCi

Child 0.05 mCi/kg, min 0.5 mCi

False negative - 25% acalculous have no cystic duct obstruction, only inflammation of gallbladder wall

24
Q

Contra morphine

A

Abs - increased intracranial pressure in children, respiratory depression
Rel - acute pancreatitis

25
Q
