GI MEGAQUIZ Flashcards
oropharyngeal dysphagia- diagnostic tool
-video esophagraphy
-evaluates -> allows for rapid sequencing
GERD associated causes and diagnostic tools
-hiatal hernia, incompetent LES, abnormal esophageal clearance (sjogrens), delayed gastric emptying
-EGD- best test
-barium esophagram- dysphagia with strictures and zenkers diverticulum will show
-pH monitoring if failure or atypical tx
PPI can affect
-Ca and iron
things to biopsy
-infectious esophagitis
-GERD stricture
-tumors
-eosinophilic esophagitis
stricture
-eosinophilic esophagitis
-pill induced esophagitis
-caustic injury
-GERD
-esophageal diverticula can be secondary to stricture
eosinophilic esophagitis
-young males mc
-genetic - chronic
-food allergies- milk, egg, wheat, fish, nuts, soy -> igE, eosinophilia
-sx- GERD
-signs- vertical furrowing, whitish papules, concentric rings, long tapered strictures
-EGD for dx and bx, barium esophagram
-tx- avoid allergy, dilate (careful!), inhaled steroids (dupixent if failure)
pill induced esophagitis causes, complications, tx
-NSAIDs
-KCL
-quinidine
-bisphosphonates
-iron, vit c
-antibiotics (doxycycline, bactrim, tetracycline, clindamycin)
-symptoms- several hrs after
-complications with chronic injury -> severe esophagitis, stricture, perforation
-self limited, PPI if severe
caustic injury dx, tx, complications
-CXR and abdominal x-ray -> air under diaphragm from perforation
-initial tx- fluids, pain meds, NPO
-endoscopy within 25 hrs
-mild- self limited
-severe- high risk of perf, TE fistula, stricture, surgery, feeding tube after 24 hrs
-complications- stricture, squamous cell carinoma (15-20 years)
mallory-weiss syndrome tear size
.5-4 cm in GE junction or gastric mucosa
esophageal webs
-squamous
-congenital
-associated with blistering skin diseases
-graft vs host disease, pemphigoid, epidermolysis bullosa, iron deficiency anemia
-plumber vinson syndrome- dysphasia, web, iron
schatzki rings
-at squamo-columnar junction
-associated with hiatal hernia, reflux
-barium esophagram more sensitive
-endoscopy- eval and treat
-dilature
-PPI
zenkers diverticulum complications and tx
-aspiration, pneumonia, lung abscess, bronchectasis
-barium and EGD
-tx-
- <1 cm none
- > 1 cm or symptomatic surgical or endoscopic tx
benign esophageal tumors
-submucosal
-lieomyoma
-US
-bx
esophageal varices
-50% of portal HTN
-hematemesis, melena, hematochezia, hypovolemia, shock, fainting
-DX- NG tube, FFP, endoscopy once stable
-endoscopy for all pts with cirrhosis 1-3 years
-once large or high risk -> beta blockers or banding (If intolerant to beta blockers)
esophageal varices treatment
-banding (preferred) or sclerotherapy
-antibiotics for peritonitis
-reduce portal pressure
-vitamin K for abnormal prothrombin time
-lactulose- if encephalopathic -> decrease ammonia
-beta blockers
-balloon tamponade - intubate first
-TIPS - rebleed
-liver transplant- MELD > 14 and hx of bleed
