GI BLEEDING, GASTRITIS, PEPTIC ULCER Flashcards
can occur from hematologic disorders that decrease platelet numbers or function
MASSIVE GI BLEEDING
is most often caused by hemorrhoids and polyps of the colon
LOWER GI BLEEDING
a condition where open sores develop on the inner lining of the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine
PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE
is inflammation of the stomach lining, often causing pain, nausea, and discomfort
GASTRITIS
are enlarged and swollen veins in the esophagus, typically occurring due to liver disease, and they pose a risk of bleeding
ESOPHAGEAL VARICES
Blood in the vomit. Occurs when blood from the digestive tract mixes with stomach content.
Hematemesis
Blood in the stool. It indicates lower gastrointestinal bleeding, often originating from the colon or rectum
HEMATOCHEZIA
Black tarry stool which is an indication of Upper GI bleeding
MELENA
A physical examination in which a healthcare provider uses a lubricated, gloved finger (digit) to assess the lower part of the rectum and surrounding structures
DIGITAL RECTAL EXAM
A common and direct method to identify the source of bleeding. Uses instruments like an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for upper gastrointestinal bleeding or colonoscopy for lower gastrointestinal bleeding
ENDOSCOPY
These tests assess the blood’s ability to clot and may be abnormal in the presence of significant bleeding.
PROTHROMBIN TIME
ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME
These tests detect hidden blood in the stool, providing evidence of lower gastrointestinal bleeding
FECAL OCCULT BLOOD TEST
Medical management for GI Bleedinf
NGT -> Gastric lavage
Characterized by a disruption of the mucosal barrier that normally protectsthe stomach tissue from digestive juices
GASTRITIS
Is an inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the lining of the stomach (gastric mucosa)
GASTRITIS
most common form of gastritis
ACUTE GASTRITIS
Form of gastritis wherein inflammation is usually transient and self-limiting in nature
ACUTE GASTRITIS
Form of gastritis that is associated with ingestion of alcohol, aspirin, NSAIDS, caffeine or contaminated food
ACUTE GASTRITIS
Form of gastritis wherein it causes the gastric mucosa to become edematous and hyperemic (congested
with fluid and blood) and to undergo superficial erosion
ACUTE GASTRITIS
Stress-induced gastritis
EROSIVE GASTRITIS
Form of gastritis that can lead to chronic inflammatory changes, and eventually atrophy (or thinning) of the gastric tissue
CHRONIC GASTRITIS
Type of chronic gastritis that is known as Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis
TYPE A
Type of chronic gastritis that is triggered by physical or psycho-emotional stressors
TYPE A
Type of chronic gastritis that affects the fundus and the body of the stomach
TYPE A GASTRITIS
Type of chronic gastritis also known as Simple Atrophic Gastritis
TYPE B
Type of chronic gastritis that is strongly associated with colonization of the gastric mucosa by H. Pylori
TYPE B
Type of chronic gastritis that is is often asymptomatic until atrophy is well advanced
TYPE B
Type of chronic gastritis that is not relieved by antacids
TYPE B
Type of chronic Gastritis that affects the glands of the antrum but may involve the entire stomach
TYPE B
Diagnostic test of choice for gastritis. Direct visualization of the stomach lining
ENDOSCOPY
measures the amount of HCL acid secreted by the stomach
BASAL ACID OUTPUT TEST
Measures the total acid output after Pentagastrin injection
GASTRIC ACID STIMULATION TEST
What is injected to patient in Gastric acid stimulation test?
PENTAGASTRIN
This test is used to evaluate the capacity of the stomach to produce acid
GASTRIC ACID STIMULATION TEST
To detect the presence of H. pylori bacteria
H. Pylori Breath Test
In mild cases, what is the drug of choice for gastritis?
ANTACID
In erosive cases, what is the DOC for gastritis
AHMA
ANTACID
H2 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST
MUCOSAL BARRIE FORTIFIERS
ANTIBIOTICS
In atrophic cases, what is the DOC for gastritis?
AV
ANTICHOLINERGIC
VITAMIN B12 INJECTION
If peptic ulcer is caused by H. pylori, what is the DOC
BAP
BISMUTH SUBSALICYLATES
ANTIBIOTICS
PPI
anastomosis of jejunum to stomach to detour around the pylorus
GASTROJEJUNOSTOMY
necessary to treat gastric outlet obstruction, also called pyloric obstruction, a narrowing of the pyloric orifice
GASTROJEJUNOSTOMY
Surgical procedure done in rare cases where severe gastritis is part of a larger condition or where there is a high risk of developing stomach cancer
GASTRECTOMY
a surgical procedure in which pyloric valve at the lower portion of the stomach is cut & resutured, relaxing & widening its muscular opening into the duodenum
PYLOROPLASTY
is the surgical cutting of the vagus nerve to reduce acid secretion in the stomach
VAGOTOMY
A sharply defined break in the continuity of the tissue involving the mucosa, submucosa and muscular layers of the digestive tract exposed to acid (Hydrochloric acid and Pepsin).
PEPTIC ULCER
Are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine
PEPTIC ULCER
May be referred to as a gastric, duodenal, or esophageal ulcer, depending on its location
PEPTIC ULCER
formed as a result of inflammation caused by the bacteria H. pylori, as well as from erosion from stomach acids
PEPTIC ULCER
ulcers that develop inside the esophagus
ESOPHAGEAL ULCER
Type of peptic ulcer due to rapid diffusion of acid in the gastric mucosa
GASTRIC ULCER
Type of peptic ulcer that tend to heal with in few weeks
GASTRIC ULCER
Type of peptic ulcer that form within 1 inch of the pylorus of the stomach (area where gastritis is common)
GASTRIC ULCER
Type of Peptic Ulcer that is due to ↑ secretion of HCL acid in the gastric mucosa & ↑rate of gastric
emptying
