GI Bleed/Endoscopy Lecture Powerpoint Flashcards
Enteroscopy
Viewing of the small intestine with an endoscope inserted down the esophagus
Choledocho- meaning
Common bile duct
Indications for Esophageogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) (5)
- unexplained anemia
- GERD
- abdominal pain
- dysphasia
- barret’s esophagus
EGD prep (3)
- NPO after midnight
- no anticoagulation
- optional sedation (propofol)
EGD complications (2)
- bleeding
- perforation
Black eschar lesions at the GE junction indicates
Gastritis, often 2nd to NSAID use
ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde choleopancreatography) indications (2)
- obstructed common bile duct (choledocholithiasis, pancreatic neoplasm, bile duct neoplasm)
- diagnostic and therapeutic
Endoscopic ultrasound indications (4)
- UGI neoplasm (esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, duodenum)
- lymph node biopsy and staging
- choledocholithiasis
- small missed cholelithiasis
Colonoscopy indications (5)
- anemia
- rectal bleeding without identifiable cause
- diverticulitis
- alternating diarrhea and constipation
- screening
Colonoscopy prep (5)
- mechanical bowel prep
- clear liquid diet
- NPO after midnight
- no anticoagulation
- optional sedation
Colonoscopy complications (3)
- bleeding
- perforation
- splenic injury
Types of colonic polyps (4)
- hyperplastic (benign)
- serrated (same as hyperplastic but higher risk of becoming cancer)
- inflammatory
- neoplastic (adenomatous)
Sessile polyp vs pedunculated
Sessile is flatter and covers more surface, pedunculated has a stalk protruding out from a base into a large head
Clinical manifestations of adenomatous polyps (4)
- mostly asymptomatic
- hematochezia
- occult blood loss
- diarrhea
How are adenomatous polyps typically detected? (3)
- sigmoidoscopy
- colonoscopy
- CT scan (virtual colonscopy)
