surgery
legions in fundus means full gastrectomy
biliroth 1 and 11 with vegotomy or pyloric re
monitor fluids, cuts vegas nerve so no acid, dumping syndrome-slow meals no sugar or fat

Q

Lower GI obstruction types

A

Mechanical- Detectable, commonly found in sm intestine, surgical adhesion-small intest and colorectal cancer-Large intest
non mechanical- Paralytic illeus, pseudo- acting like theres an obstruction- critically ill, trauma, burns. vascular- no blood to intestines- a fib, art obstruction, clots, heart valve issues, heart attack, congestive fail

20
Q

Types of lower gi obstruction

A

Adhesions, intessuseption, hernwas, tumors, volvus,

21
Q

Steps of lower obs

A

1.obstruction- build up fluid, gas, intestial contents-prox
Collapse- distal
2. Increase in bowel distension- reabsorption of fluids
3. increase pressure- cap perm, fluids into 3rd space
4. loss of blood volume
5, ischemic bowel no blood supply

22
Q

Sm in lower GI

A

Rapid onset

Early- Colckly, intermit ab pain, NV in large ammounts, projectile vom with bile, if long standing smells like poop

23
Q

Lg in obstruction s/s

A

Gradual onset, vom it rare, ab pain present but low grade, ab distention increased new onset of constipation and no flatulus

24
Q

diagnosis of bowel obstruction

Labs

A

x ray-ct scan
Sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy
Increase in WBC, H and H, BUN and creatinine

25
Tx for lower GI obstruction | When do you need surgery
conservative, NPO, rest, NG tube, IV fluids-NS or lac ringers, Pain control if strangulated or tx not effective, May need colonosctomy or illiostomy
26

ct with oral contrast | CBC, berium enema, cloonoscopy w. biopsy, blood culture, colonoscopy
39
Care for divertic
Increase fiber to prevent, high activity-prevent Clear lq, bed rest, pain Severe- Hospitalization (For when you can't have PO Fluids, symptomatic of infection, or immunosuppressed. NPO, Bed rest, IV fluids, antibiotics, watch infection, strict I and O NG on low,

41
Teaching for diver
