H2RAs
PPIs
First-line treatment for PUD, if due to H. pylori, is “
Triple Therapy
2 antibiotics
1 PPI
Example of triple therapy
- clarithromycin
- amoxicillin or metronidazole
plus - proton pump inhibitor (e.g. omeprazole).
r, in chronic ulceration or in gastric outlet obstruction
there is still an important role for
truncal vagotomy
ANTISECRETORY THERAPY
AHPMA
Antacids.
2. Histamine (H2) blockers
3. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
4. Medications to protect and strengthen the mucous lining of
the stomach. (bismuth subsalicylate/Pepto-Bismol)
5. Antibiotics to treat H. pylori if it is detected
abnormal, enlarged veins in the tube that

Esophageal varices develop
when normal blood flow to the liver is blocked by
clot or scar tissue in the liver.
opening in the diaphragm through which the
esophagus passes becomes enlarged
HIATAL (HIATUS) HERNIA
Heartburn, regurgitation, and dysphagia; at least half
of cases are asymptomatic *NO REFLUX
SLIDING HERNIA
Sense of fullness or chest pain after eating or may be
asymptomatic with refluz
PARAESOPHAGEAL HERNIA
COMPLICATIONS: of Paraesophhageal hernia
HOS
hemorrhage, obstruction, and strangulation
possible.
DECREASING RISK OF ASPIRATION for hernia
- keep in a semi-Fowler’s position.
- Instruct patient in the use of oral suction to decrease risk of
aspiration.
(Billroth I)
Vagotomy and Antrectomy with Gastroduodenal
Reconstruction
Gastrojejunal Reconstruction
(Billroth II)
s surgery to widen the opening in the lower part of
the stomach (pylorus) so that stomach contents can
empty into the small intestine (duodenum)
PYLOROPLASTY
to reduce the rate
of gastric secretion.
VAGOTOMY
All the parasympathetic supply from the stomach to the left
side of the transverse colon relies on the
e vagus nerves.
cuts the nerve at the gastroesophageal
junction
truncal vagotomy
lasts several hours to a few days and is often caused
by dietary indiscretion
ACUTE GASTRITIS
prolonged inflammation of the stomach that may
be caused either by benign or malignant ulcers o
CHRONIC GASTRITIS
abdominal discomfort, headache, lassitude, nausea,
anorexia, vomiting, and hiccupping
