sclerotherapy

70
Q

Octreotide

A

selective vasoconstrictor for splanchnic vessels

used in varices to stop/slow bleeding

71
Q

Vasopressin

A

non-selective vasoconstrictor used in varices to stop/slow bleeding

72
Q

Secondary prevention of variceal bleeding

A

Non-selective beta-blockers

titrate to maximum tolerated dose

73

74
Q

Which beta blockers are non-selective

A

nadolol

propranolol

75
Q

how to beta-blockers prevent variceal bleeding

A

reduce portal pressure by decreasing CO and decreasing splanchnic blood flow via vasoconstriction

76
Q

What causes symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy

A

accumulation of ammonia

77
Q

symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy

A

musty odor of breath, changes in thinking, confusion, forgetfulness, asterixis

78
Q

drug therapy for hepatic encephalopathy

A

lactulose

antibiotics like rafaximin

79
Q

how does lactulose work

A

first line therapy for encephalopathy and prevetion

converts ammonia produced by intestinal bacteria to ammonium which cannot diffuse into the blood due to not being polar.

80
Q

How do antibiotics help hepatic encephalopathy

A

decrease ammonia production by inhibitions activity of urease producing bacteria

30-45 mL every hour until bowel movement then 30-45 mL 3-4 times daily titrated to produce 2-3 soft bowel movements dialy
