Q

What are the two different treatment approaches for DIOS?

A

incomplete DIOS = oral rehydration + laxatives

complete = IV rehydration + laxatives

19
Q

What are the nutritional preoccupations for patients with CF?

A
  • malnutrition
  • weight loss
  • meal plan = increase E + pro
20
Q

What are the four phases of swallowing?

A
  1. oral preparatory
  2. oral transit
  3. pharyngeal
  4. esophageal
21
Q

what are the cranial nerves involved in swallowing?

A
V : trigeminal
VII : facial nerve
IX : glossopharyngeal
X : vagus
XII : hypoglossal
22
Q

What is GERD?

A

Gastroesophageal reflux disease = = reflux into esophagus usually because the pressure in esophagus is lower than stomach = opens LES

23
Q

what can trigger GERD?

A
  • hypersecretion of estrogen, progesterone, gastrin
  • medical conditions
  • smoking
  • medications
  • foods
24
Q

What is Barrett’s esophagus?

A

it is the excess production of H+ ions in the esophagus despite medications
the squamous cells become columnar precancerous cells

25
Q

What are the 3 treatment steps to treat GERD?

A
  1. Increasing LES competence
  2. decreasing gastric acidity
  3. increasing clearance of esophagus
26
Q

What are the medications to treat GERD?

A
  • antiacids
  • foaming agents
  • H2 antagonists
  • proton pump inhibitors
  • prokinetics (strengthen pyloric sphincter)
27
Q

What are some lifestyle changes that can be made to help with GERD?

A
  • avoid eating before sleep
  • eat upright
  • stop smoking
  • weight loss
28
Q

what are possible surgeries to treat GERD?

A
  • Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication = fundus of stomach wrapped around esophagus = helps LES strength
  • radiofrequency
29
Q

What is the nutrition care to apply to treat GERD?

A
  • B12, Ca and Fe absorption impaired = supp
  • small frequent meals
  • low fat
  • avoid alcohol, mint, chocolate, coffee, fermented beverages
30
Q

What are the two types of dysphagia?

A

0ral, pharyngeal, esophageal

transient (cerebral palsy, GERD, cancer, intubation, chronic anemia) or permanent

31
Q

What is aspiration?

A

inhalation of fluids or particles into lungs

32
Q

what is aspiration pneumonia?

A

inflammation in lungs

33
Q

How can aspiration be prevented?

A
  • seating upright
  • chin down when swallowing
  • small quantities
  • dry swallowing
34
Q

How can dysphagia be diagnosed?

A
  • bedside swallow
  • observations while eating
  • modified barium swallow
  • fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)
35
Q

What can cause dysphagia?

A
  • physical barriers
  • cancer
