GERD, Gastritis, PUD, Dumping Syndrome Flashcards
Backward flow (reflux) of stomach contents into the
esophagus resulting to inflammatory changes of the
esophageal mucosa
GERD
Hallmark of GERD: ? (acute symptoms of inflammation)
Reflux Esophagitis
GERD Causes:
Inappropriate relaxation of the ?
Gastric volume or ? is elevated
Delayed ?
Lower Esophageal Sphincter/ Decrease LES
Intra-abdominal pressure
Gastric Emptying
GERD CM: substernal or retro- sternal burning sensation
- pain radiate to the neck, jaw, back (mimic ANGINA or
MI
Heartburn/Pyrosis
GERD CM: warm fluid traveling up the throat (sour or bitter taste)
- danger for aspiration (note for crackles in the lungs)
Regurgitation
GERD CM: “water brash”
Hypersalivation
GERD CM: Difficulty of swallowing
Dysphagia
GERD CM: Painful swallowing
Odynophagia
GERD CM: change of the normal squamous cell epithelium to columnar epithelium
Barrett’s Epithelium
GERD CM: Chronic ? especially at ? (due to position)
Cough
Night
GERD CM:
? belching
? gas
? after eating
Eructation
Gas
Bloating
GERD DT: Most accurate method
24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring
GERD DT: small catheter is placed through the nose into the distal esophagus, pH is continuously monitored & recorded)
24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring
GERD DT: Endoscopy
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
GERD DT: “motility testing”
Esophageal Manometry
GERD DT: water-filled catheters are inserted via the client’s nose or mouth & slowly withdrawn while measurements of LES pressure & peristalsis are recorded); not specific enough to establish a diagnosis of GERD
Esophageal Manometry
GERD Management: Avoid foods containing
Caffeine, Cocoa, Alcohol, High in Calorie (Fatty food)
GERD Management: Restrict spicy & acidic foods ?
Orange Juice, Tomatoes
GERD Management: ? beverages increases pressure in the stomach
Carbonated
GERD Management: sleep in the ? position to minimize the nighttime episodes of reflux
Left Lateral (Side-lying)
GERD Management: Small frequent meals
4-6 meals a day
GERD Management: Remain in upright position for atleast ? after eating
1-2 hrs
GERD Management: Elevate hob ? inches using wooden blocks or foam wedge
8-12 inches
GERD Management: Do not wear ?
Constrictive clothing
GERD Management: Chew ? and follow with ? right after
Antacids
Water
GERD Pharmacotherapy: neutralizes HCL & deactivating pepsin
Antacids
GERD Pharmacotherapy: Antacids
Aluminum Hydroxide
Magnesium Hydroxide
Maalox
Mylanta
GERD Pharmacotherapy: Decreases acid production of parietal cells
H2 Receptor Blockers
GERD Pharmacotherapy: H2 Receptor Blockers
Famotidine
Ranitidine (Zantac)
Cimetidine (Tagamet)
Nizatidine
GERD Pharmacotherapy: main treatment for GERD
Proton Pump Inhibitors
GERD Pharmacotherapy: inhibition of proton pump of the parietal cell thereby decreases acid secretion
PPI
GERD Pharmacotherapy: PPI
Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Rabeprazole, Pantropazole, Esomeprazole
GERD Pharmacotherapy: Increases gastric emptying
Metoclopramide
GERD Pharmacotherapy: the physician applies
radiofrequency energy through needles placed near
gastroesophageal junction inhibiting the vagus nerve
thus reducing the discomfort of the client. It will
reshape the ring of muscles in the lower esophagus.
Endoscopic Therapy (Stettra Procedure)
is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, is
classified as either acute or chronic
Gastritis
Gastritis Cause: It usually stems from ingestion of a ?, ?, or ? substance
Corrosive
Erosive
Infectious
Gastritis Cause: ? and ?, chemotherapeutic drugs, steroids, acute alcoholism and food poisoning (typically caused by Staphylococcus organisms) are common causes.
Aspirin
NSAIDs
Gastritis Cause: Food substances including excessive amounts of tea, carbonated drinks and pepper can precipitate acute gastritis. Foods with a rough texture or those eaten at an extremely ? can also damage the stomach mucosa
Tea, Carbonated Drinks, Pepper
Rough Texture
High Temperature
Gastritis CM:
? discomfort
Feeling of ?, early
Severe ?
Sometimes ? is the only manifestation
Epigastric
Fullness, Satiety
N&V
GI Bleeding
Gastritis CM
Belching
Flatulence
Cramping
Hematemesis
Gastritis CM: When contaminated food is the cause of gastritis, ? usually develops within ? of ingestion
Diarrhea
5 hours
Gastritis Pharmacotherapy: Anti – emetic drugs like Inj. ? or Tab, ? are frequently effective in vomiting.
Perinorm
Domperidone
Gastritis Pharmacotherapy: ?, ? are effective to reduce the pain.
Antacids
H2 Blockers
Gastritis Pharmacotherapy: If ingestion of NSAIDs is a problem, a ? may be prescribed to protect the stomach mucosa and inhibit gastric acid secretion.
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) Analog
Chronic Gastritis: which causes a reddened, edematous mucosa with small erosions and hemorrhages
Superficial Gastritis
Chronic Gastritis: which occurs in all layers of the
stomach, develops frequently in association with gastric ulcer and gastric cancer, and is invariably present in pernicious anemia; it is characterized by a decreased number of parietal and chief cells.
Atrophic Gastritis
Chronic Gastritis: which produces a dull and nodular
mucosa with irregular, thickened, or nodular rugae;
hemorrhages occur frequently
Hypertrophic Gastritis
Chronic Gastritis Cause: Infection with ? or ? may lead to chronic gastritis.
Helicobacter Pylori
Gastric Surgery (Gastro-Jejunostomy)
Chronic Gastritis Complications
Bleeding
Pernicious Anemia
Gastric Cancer
Mucosa: release hydrochloric acid along with intrinsic factor
Parietal Cells
Mucosa: release pepsinogen which mixes with hydrochloric acid and becomes PEPSIN
Chief Cells
Mucosa: release gastrin
G-cells
Defense System: coats the gastric layer and protects the cells from acids
Bicarbonate (HCO3)
Defense System: regulates perfusion to stomach, causes stomach cells to release mucous rich in bicarb, controls acid amounts via the parietal cells
Prostaglandin
PUD Cause: 90% of duodenal ulcers and up to 80% of gastric ulcers are caused by ?
H. pylori
PUD Cause: they work to decrease the production of prostaglandins
Long tern NSAIDs
PUD Cause: tumor formation that causes increased release of gastrin which increases stomach acid production.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
PUD DT: ? indicates bleeding, ? in stool specimen
Decrease Hgb/Hct
Occult Blood Test (Guiac Test)
PUD DT: patient will ingest a urea tablet and if h. pylori is present it will break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Breath samples will be analyzed for abnormally high carbon dioxide levels.
Urea Breath Test
PUD DT: normal gastric acidity in gastric ulcer (increase in duodenal ulcer)
Gastric Analysis
PUD CM: ? and ? pain
described as burning, dull, or ? pain
Indigestion, Epigastric

PUD Surgery: distal end of the stomach is removed, and the remainder is anastomosed to the duodenum
Gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I)
PUD Surgery: removal of the antrum and distal portion of the stomach and duodenum with anastomosis of the remaining portion of the stomach to the jejunum
Gastrojejunostomy (Billroth II)
PUD Surgery: Transection of vagus nerve that eliminates the acid-secreting stimulus to gastric cells & causing a decrease gastric acid secretion
Vagotomy
PUD Surgery: removal of 75% - 85% of the stomach
Subtotal Gastrectomy
PUD Surgery: removal of the antrum of the stomach to eliminate the gastric phase of digestion
Antrectomy
PUD Surgery: creating a passage between the body of the stomach & the jejunum to permit neutralization of gastric acid by regurgitation of alkaline duodenal contents into the stomach
Gastroenterostomy
PUD Surgery: removal of the entire stomach with a loop of jejunum anastomosed to the esophagus
Esophagojejunostomy (Total Gastrectomy)
PUD Post-operative: Measure drainage accurately to determine necessity for ? replacement; notify physician if there is no drainage. Anticipate frank, red bleeding for ? ; Do not manipulate the tube and ensure its ?
