Q

med if your pancreas doesn’t work (and give with what)

A

Q

pancreas also releases (pancakes are bi)

A

Bicarbonate and water are secreted by the epithelial cells that line the pancreatic ducts-this neutralizes the acid form the stomach

Q

Chronic pancreatitis (alchys get fibrous)

A

Chronic: progressive inflammatory disorder with destruction of the pancreas; cells are replaced by fibrous tissue; pressure within the pancreas increases, obstructing the pancreatic and common bile ducts

Q

acute pancreatitis (just a block)

A

pancreatic duct becomes obstructed, and enzymes back up, causing autodigestion and inflammation of the pancreas

17
Q

acute pancreatitis - labs

A

amylase - up (2 to 3 times normal) (releasing it bc everything is out of whack)
lipase - up (2 to 3 times normal)
glucose - up
calcium - down
wbc - up
bun - up
bilirubin - up
lDH up
albumin - down

18
Q

acute pancreatitis - diagnostics (need an ultra cutie to see pancakes)

A

KUB (just an x-ray), CT (for fluids) , ultrasound (to see gallstones)

19
Q

pancreatitis is just

A

autodigestion.

20
Q

acute pancreatitis - skin AND the ones you need to pay attention to…(cullen and grey are a cute pancake)

A

Skin: Cullen’s (bruising on stomach) and Grey Turner’s signs (bruisng on stomach), jaundice, bruising, redness, irritation

21
Q

acute pancreatitis - Electrolyte imbalances (can’t digest, so basically everything is low but sugar)

A

Electrolyte imbalances: hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypo/hyperglycemia

22
Q

complications of acute pancreatitis - local (a cute pancake can have an abcess)

A

Acute fluid collections
Pancreatic fistulae
Pancreatic pseudocyst (enclosed like a cyst)
Pancreatic abscess (mortality rate doubles, these ppl are really sick)
Pancreatic necrosis
Primary infections
d/t pancreatic necrosis

23
Q

complications of acute pancreatitis - systemic

A

Hypoxemia
Pneumonia
Pleural effusion
Hyperglycemia
Hypocalcemia
ARDS
Hypovolemic shock
Hemorrhage
ATN
Pancreatic encephalopathy
Analgesia
DIC

24
Q

main issues w/ acute pancreatitis

A

Fluid and electrolyte disturbances
Necrosis of the pancreas
Shock
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
DIC (becuase we’re not absorbing vitamin K)
plueral effusion because the acid eats through the lungs

25
Q

pancreatitis - gum and losenges?

A

nope, will stimulate pancreatic enzymes

26
Q

TPN - nursing considerations

A

Keep refrigerated; warm (let sit out a few minutes) prior to administration
Central line needed
Filter needed
NOTHING else should go through this line
Discontinue GRADUALLY to avoid hypoglycemia
Daily weights
May have to start insulin
Can only be hung for 24 hours
Ordered daily
Change tubing & filter with each bag
Needs to be on a pump
Most frequent complication is INFECTION

27
Q

goals for pancreatitis

A

Stabilize hemodynamics
Control pain
Minimize pancreatic stimulation
correct underlying problem
Prevent or treat complications

28
Q

chronic pancreatitis

A

Progressive, usually d/t alcoholism (calcification of ducts) or chronic obstructive due to obstruction of the sphincter of Oddi that causes inflammation

29
Q

chronic pancreatitis - symptoms (chronic pancake is vdd -er)

A

S & Sx
Recurrent and severe pain (upper abdominal and back) with vomiting, diarrhea, diabetes

30
Q

chronic pancreatitis - management & diet (Pancakes need protein)

A

NO ETOH, pain management, antiemetics, enzymes to aid in food digestion, insulin,* meds, diet (high protein, high calorie, low fat) after NPO and bowel rest
Sphincterotomy
Pancreaticjejunotomy

31
Q

ppl w/ chronic pancreatitis usually have

A

underlying diabetes and they’ve had it for awhile

32
Q

chronic pancreatitis - no opiates unless

A

they’re NPO.

33
Q

chronic pancreatitis - treatments (pancakes can have whipcream surgery)

A

TREATMENTS and INTERVENTIONS
Surgical
Sphincterotomy (ERS)
Pancreaticjejunotomy (lateral or Puestow procedure)
Islet cell transplantation
Celiac nerve block
Spinal cord simulation
Whipple
Medications
Conservative: NSAID’s, acetaminophen
Opioids: morphine, meperidine, tramadol
Other
Enzyme replacement therapy
Inhibition of gastric secretions
Octreotide
Metabolic testing (glucose, insulin, C-peptide levels)

34
Q

pancreatic cancer - types

A

Fifth most common cancer in both men and women
Types: adenocarcinoma, cyctadenocarcinoma, acinar cell carcinoma

35
Q

pancreatic cancer - risk factors (pancreas in golden years)

A

Risk factors: >60 years, smoking (2-3x risk), diabetes, male, African American, family history, chronic pancreatitis, high fat diet

36
Q

pancreatic cancer - s/sx (pancake cancer is frothy)

A

S & S: pain in upper back/abdominal, A, N, V, weight loss, jaundice, indigestion, dark frothy urine, ascites

37
Q

pancreatic cancer - treatment

A

Treatment: pain management, C/R/S (Whipple)

38
Q

pancreatic cancer - diagnostics

A

Diagnosis: Elevated amylase, alk phos, bili, CEA (carcinogenic antigen), CT, biopsy, ERCP, paracentesis

39
Q

whipple procedure - for pancreatic cancer

A

take out 1/2 of stomach (distal part), the jejunum, 1st and 2nd portions of the duodenum, the head of the pancreas and the common bile duct; gall bladder and cystic duct-cholecystectomy. Then attach the hepatic duct and the pancreas to the jejunum.

40
Q

post op whipple

A

ng tube - low to continous, irrigation tube (up to 4 total), 1 -2 JP drains, j-junostomy tube.
