25
Similarities of gastric and duodenal ulcers
Both have dull, aching, gnawing epigastric hunger-like pain
26
Pain that radiates to the left side of the abdomen
Gastric ulcer
27
Pain radiates on the right side
Duodenal
28
In gastric ulcer, pain is experienced how many hours after or during eating/meals
30min- 2hours - pain not relived by food but worsens it
29
S/sx of gastric ulcer
Nausea Hematemesis ( vomit w/ blood)
30
Complications of gastric ulcer
Hemorrhage & perforation
31
Duodenal ulcer pain occurs how many hours after eating? And why?
3-4 hours after eating - depending on food taken, the acidic chyme empties to the duodenum causing irritation to the exposed nerve ending in the duodenum.
32
Pain is relived by food
Duodenal ulcer
33
In duodenal ulcer pain is commonly experienced between
12 midnight and 3:00 AM- REM stage of sleep- time when there is increased acid secretion - this is the peak tune of movement of acidic chyme
34
S/sx of duodenal ulcers
Melena
35
Complication of duodenal ulcers
Obstruction Hemorrhage Perforation/peritonitis
36
Type of complication that is most life-threatening
Hemorrhage- blood loss of 20% (1,000 mls) is fatal leading to hypovolemic shock
37
S/sx in older adult with PUD: WADC
weight loss Anemia Dysphagia Chest pain
38
Diagnosis of PUD
1. Upper GI series 2. Gastrectomy/endoscopy- to identify inflammatory changes, ulcers & lesions 3. Biopsy specimen- presence of H.pylori 4. Gastric analysis- to diagnose achlorhydria & ZES 5. Physical examination
