Midterm II Details Flashcards
% of GI resected without major impacts on nutrient absorption?
Up to 40-50%
Jejunoileocolonic anastomosis bowel length to avoid TPN?
30 cm
Jejunocolonic anastamosis bowel length to avoid TPN?
60 cm
End jejunostomy bowel length to avoid TPN?
130-150 cm required if no colon is intact
SBS is defined when
<200 cm of bowel length
Generally, if colon is intact how much small bowel do we require to avoid PN?
70-90 cm
Duodenum nutrients (TIC/PC)
Thiamine, Iron, Calcium, Protein, Carbs
Jejunum/Proximal Ileum nutrients (FF/AW/CZPM)
Fat, Folate, ADEK, Water soluble vitamins,Copper, Zinc, PO4, Magnesium
Terminal ileum nutrients (BB)
- Bile acids
- B12
Ileum resections requiring B12 injection?
When >50 cm is removed
Recall the ileum absorbs B12
SBS General Nutrition implications when unstable
- TPN post-op with sugar-free, isotonic ORS, electroylyte supplement. Consider EN supplement as we want to stimulate the GI tract, but realistically will not be able to reach all needs on EN (Acute Phase)
- Progress very gradually (years to oral), often require EN supplement for life, or Cyclic EN w/ ADEK, MCT and B12 if required.
- Oral diet should be low residue, low fat, lactose free and low oxalate (if colon).
- AVOID GI STIMULANTS (coffee, tea, spicy foods) and ALCOHOL (toxicity which counteracts bowel adaptation) and SIMMPE CHOs (diarrhea, dehydration)
Ileum resections resulting in Bile Acid malabasoprtion?
> 100 cm of ileum is removed
Chronic, stable management of SBS?
- Ensure colon is tolerating fluids (issues if >5L of fluids, or FFA and BAs are preventing water reabsorption)
- Normal macro distribution
- SMFQM
- Normal fibre
- Lactose as per patient
- Oxalate as per fat malabsorption and presence of colon
Discuss how steatorrhea is a circular problem
In fat malabsorption, there is often also malabsorption of BA downstream. To avoid irritating colon (watery diarrhea), we will use BAS to decrease BA and the subsequent irritation. However, this depletes the liver BA pool, and if any of these BA were useful in the upstream fat malabsorption, the BAS have improved the water diarrhea, but may exacerbate the fat malabsorption.
General ileostomy nutritional post-op recommendations?
- CF diet with decreased soluble fibre, then SMFQM with low fiber, but progression is slower compared to colostomy due to less favourable ostomy
- Address fluid/electrolyte concerns, obstructions and weight management
- LIMIT fluids if high-output
- Encourage HIGHER sodium intake to promote water absorption (recall that the colon is gone and cannot do the work anymore)
General colostomy nutritional post-op recommendations
- Similar to ileostomy, but tend to progress quicker to oral diet as presence of colon
- Must individualize based on fluid tolerance an absorption capacity
- MAIN issue are fluid losses
- Avoid odour causing, gas causing or diarrheal foods
- Obstructions are less common
Two MAIN nutritional issues in ostomies?
Diarrhea and Obstruction
Chronic management, stable recommendations for ostomies?
• Take small bites, chew well
• Regular eating frequency, small frequent meals
• Avoid spicy or fried food, high in sugar
• Thicken stools: Banana, rice, applesauce, toast, pasta
• Odours: onions, eggs, fish, cabbage, broccoli
–> Decrease: yoghurt, parsley, buttermilk
• Avoid gas-producing food
• Avoid swallowing air
• Drink plenty of fluids
Recommendations to avoid diarrhea?
- Increase fluids between meals
- Salty fluids
- Fruits after meals
- Thicken stools w/ soluble fibre sources; apple juice, sauce, bananas, pasta, toast, oats
- Avoid spicy foods, prunes, coffee etc.
Recommendations to avoid obstruction?
- Avoid fibrous foods, and chew well/blend
- Avoid corn, peas, mushrooms, bean sprouts, raw cabbage, fruit skins, nuts, popcorns
Which ostomy would benefit the MOST from a higher fat, lower CHO/normal protein diet with increased salty foods and fluids and Vitamin K supplements?
SBS w/ jejunostomy/ileostomy
Which ostomy would benefit the MOST from higher CHO, lower/normal fat/protein?
SBS w/ colonostomy
- -> We want to avoid the fat malabsorption, and we are more likely to absorb the fluids downstream, therefore saltier foods/fluids not always #1
- -> Note that higher CHOs does not meal simple CHO, continue to avoid to avoid diarrhea
UC and Colonic Crohns have similar presentations, which 5 signs are usually present in CC over UC? (HPPPD)
- Hematochezia
- Pain prior to defecation
- Perianal skin tags
- Perianal fistulas
- Deep anal fissures
CDAI for mild, moderate and severe? (crohns)
Mild = 15-220
Moderate = 220-240
Severe = >450
Controlled with corticosteroids is NOT considered in remission
Decreases of 70 points is a positive prognostic factor
