Rose- viable stoma mucosa
maybe anemia
inadequate blood supply
when touched is normal from high vascularity
post op wound care stoma 2 risks when will the edema resolve gas and time ileostomy drainage and one thing about it one thing to watch who is most at risk for developing obstruction stools teach 1 about anal teach about pain

esophageal cancer patho history and risks
Usually advanced disease by the time of diagnosis, it narrows the esophagus, Risks-Increase with age, BE, smoking, alcohol, Obestiy, abestos, cement dust, achalasia-delayed emtying, gerd, barrets
Manifestatons of Esoph cancer
Progressive dysphagia-meat, soft food, lq Pain is latep substernal epigastric, back that increases with swallowing-even spit, Weight loss Sore throat, choacking hoarseness\regur with blood tinged Hemmorrhage-if trach May cause obstruction common metastasis to lungs and liver
Diagnosis for esoph cancer
Endoscope biops
ultrasound
CT/MRI
Bronchoscopy
Tx for Esoph cancer
Surg-esophagectomy-removal
esophagastromy -resection to stomach
esophagoenterostomy-resection to colon- lap or open
Photodynamic lasor therapy- no sun 3-6 weeks
Chemo and radiation
Post of esoph cancer
Watch respiratory, pain control, Chest tube, TPN, Swallow study, HOB 30 and for 2hr after meal
Surg risk for esoph cancer
DysR, anastomatic leaks, fistulas, edema, respiratory distres, dysruption of medial sternal lymph nodes
Care for E cancer
Airway, respiratory, swallow B4 oral fluids, high fowlers, tube feeding tol, pain
Stomach cancer patho history
rt
and associations
Adenocarcinoma of stomach wall usually spread by diagnosis
RT mucosal injury-Hpylori, autoimmune disorders, NSAIDS, tobacco
Association-smoked meats, salted fish/meats, pickled veggies
Manifestations of stomach cancer
Weight loss, saticty- full fast, indigestion, ab pain, anemia-blood loss or pernicious , weak fatigue, SOB, OB positive stool, Acities=poor prognosis- seeding of cancer cells introperitoneal cavity and no cure
