GI Management Flashcards
1
Q
5 Models of Osteopathy
A
- Biomechanical
- Respiratory-circulatory
- Neurological
- Metabolic
- Behavioral
2
Q
GIT Preganglionic Sympathetic Fibers
A
- Arise in the lateral horn of spinal segments T1-L2
- Exit out the ventral horn
- Pass thru series of splanchnic nerves to reach end organs
- Ganglia are dist. around 3 abdominal arteries (celiac, superior and inferior mesenteric)
- Stimulation of sympathetic fibers inhibit cholinergic activity of parasympathetics
- slowing peristalsis and motility
3
Q
Celiac Ganglia
A
- Receives afferent fibers from the thoracic splanchnic nerves (T5-9)
- Supplies postganglionic sympathetic axons to foregut
- distal esophagus and stomach
- proximal duodenum
- liver
- gall bladder
- spleen
- pancrease
- Pain from these structures will be perceived as occurring in the EPIGASTRIC
4
Q
Superior Mesenteric Ganglia
A
- Receives preganglionic axons from thoracic splanchnic nerves (T10-11)
- Supplies postganglionic sympathetic axons to midgut
- distal duodenum
- part of pancreas
- jejunum
- ileum
- ascending colon
- proximal 2/3 of transverse colon
- Pain is perceived as UMBILICAL
5
Q
Inferior Mesenteric Ganglia
A
- Receives preganglionic from the thoracolumbar splanchnic nerves (T11-L2)
- Supplies postganglionic sympathetic axons to hindgut
- distal third of transverse colon
- descending colon
- sigmoid colon
- rectum
- Pain is perceived as HYPOGASTRIC
6
Q
GIT Parasympathetic Nerves
A
- Vagus
- transmits fibers via celiac and superior mesenteric ganglia to foregut and midgut
- Pelvic splanchnic nerves
- supply the hindgut, including the area innervated by the inferior mesenteric ganglia
Visceral afferent neurons carry sensory information to the CNS along the pathways of the vagus and pelvic splanchnic nerves
*includes sensory and nociceptive input
7
Q
Esophageal Innervation
A
- Lower esophagus innervation is diff. than the stomach/ UGI tract
- Sympathetic
- thoracic esophagus T3-5/6
- abdominal T5-8
- Think of viscera above the diaphragm T-5
- Below the diaphragm T5 and below
- Parasympathetic- Vagus nerve
8
Q
GERD, Esophageal Spasm OMM Treatment
A
- Viscerosomatic
- sympathetic T3-6
- especially right side
- Parasympathetic
- vagus-occiput/ c1/ c2
- Mechanical
- diaphragm/ LES
9
Q
Hiccups OMM Treatment
A
- Somatovisceral component
- Proximal clavicle pressure to inhibit phrenic nerve
10
Q
Gastric Viscerosomatics
A
- T5-10, especially left sided (sympathetics)
- C1 and C2 (parasympathetic)
- “UGI Pattern” classically seen as
- C2 left
- T3-6 right
- T5-10 left
- T6-8 right
- “T3T, T5L, T7R”
11
Q
Cholecystitis Referred Pain
A
- Involvement of central portion of diaphragmatic parietal peritoneum, innervated by phrenic nerve (C3, 4, 5), —> pain over the right shoulder
- this area is innervated by supraclavicular nerves (C3, 4)
- may be morecommon w/ ruptured viscous, such as peptic ulcer
12
Q
Viscerosomatic findings for Gall Bladder Disease
A
- T5-10 on the right, transmitted via the celiac ganglia
- Parasympathetic reflexes via vagal nerve at occiput, C1 and C2
- Phrenic nerve mediated reflexes = C3-5
13
Q
Viscerosomatic findings for Appendicitis
A
- Vagus-Occiput, C1-2
- T9-12 right side
- Localized findings appear as peritoneal involvement increases, based on location of appendix
- Anterior Chapman’s = tip of right 12th rib
14
Q
Effect of OMT on post-op ileus study findings
A
- Time to bowel mvmt and clear liquid diet did not differ
- Mean time to flatus was significantly shortened w/ OMT
- Mean postoperative LOS significantly shortened w/ OMT
15
Q
Post-op Ileus somatic findings
A
- Increased rigidity of the paraspinal area
- T5-11 stomach and small intestine viscerosomatic reflexes
- Vagus assoc. upper cervical (C2)
- Lower rib/diaphragm dysfunctions
