GI Flashcards
Somatostatin
D cells, inhibits gastric/pancreatic secretions
How long to wait after t-tube placement before instrumentation
4-6 weeks to allow for tract maturation
Gastrin
G cells
Triggers gastric acid secretion
Stimulated by alkaline environment
Gastric inhibitory protein (GIP)
K cells
Decreases acid secretion, stimulates insulin
Secretin
Released from S cells
Inhibits gastrin, stimulates bicarb secretion
Motilin
Aids in GI motility, activated by acid
Blind loop syndrome
Steatorrhea, diarrhea, megaloblastic anemia, malnutrition
What is a truncal vagotomy?
Divide vagal trunks at level of esophagus
What is a selective vagotomy?
Divide nerves of latarjet
What is a highly selective vagotomy?
Divide individual fibers, preserves crows foot
How does vagotomy change liquid emptying?
All types of vagotomy increase liquid emptying
How does vagotomy affect solid emptying?
Truncal or selective vagotomy slow solid emptying, pyloroplasty increases it. Highly selective vagotomy has normal solid emptying.
Type I gastric ulcer
Lesser curve along body of stomach. Due to decreased muscosal protection.
Type II gastric ulcer
Lesser curve and duodenal. High acid secretion.
Type III gastric ulcers
Prepyloric ulcer. High acid secretion.
