Q

Intragastric Balloon (Restrictive):

A 
• Consists of soft, saline-filled 
balloon that promotes a feeling of 
satiety (fullness) & restriction. 
• 400-700 ml of saline
• Maximum of six months. (After 
that, ↑ risk for leakage.)
• (Three devices currently approved 
by the FDA.)

Q

Roux-en-Y procedure (Restrictive & Malabsorptive):

A 
***Gold standard among bariatric 
procedures
• Most common bariatric procedure 
• Restricts intake & lessens absorption
• 15 ml pouch
• Avg. hospital stay = 2-3 days
• Lose 60-70% of weight in 1-2 years
• Permanent procedure

Q

Will the patient that gets bariatric surgery require vitamin supplements?

A

YES. Due decreased absorption and malabsorption, the patient will lose vitamins, iron, and more. The patient will require vitamin supplementation for the rest of their lives.

Q

What is dumping syndrome?

A

A phenomenon that happens when the stomach is smaller, the patient takes in hyperosmolar (highly concentrated in simple sugars) meal and then fluid shifts into the stomach and dumps into the small intestine. Results in profuse diarrhea, dizziness and lightheadedness, causes the patient to experience hypovolemia.

Q

Bariatric Surgery Post Op Nursing Care:

A

Routine post-op management:
• Enhance mobility
• Pain management
• Risk for wound infection, dehiscence & evisceration
• Resumption of liquids & food – extensive patient & family teaching
Also-NG to LWS -> water/sugar-free liquids -> high-protein
liquids -> pureed diet (2 weeks) -> solid food (4-6
weeks)

Q

What is the Long-term Diet Recommendation?

A

The DASH Diet!

(Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension)

17
Q

Name the recommended DASH diet servings per food group:

A

6-8 servings per day whole grains
4-5 servings per day vegetables
4-5 servings per day fruit
2-3 servings per day low fat or fat free dairy
4-5 servings per week nuts, seeds, legumes
less than 6 servings per week lean meat, poultry, fish
less than 5 servings per week sweets
2-3 servings per day fats, oils

18
Q

Typical GI-Related Drug Therapy includes:

A
  1. Antacids- Quick, but short-lived relief; take them 1-3 hrs after meals & @ hs (bedtime)
  2. H²R blockers (Antihistamines)
    cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid)
    OTC or prescription
  3. PPI’s (Proton Pump Inhibitors)-Decreases gastric acid secretion
    • omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), esomeprazole (Nexium), pantoprazole
    (Protonix)
    • OTC or prescription
  4. Cytoprotective agent- Coats the stomach
    • sucralfate (Carafate)
  5. Prokinetic agent – (GERD)- Enhances gastric emptying, also promotes appetite
    • metoclopramide (Reglan)
19
Q

Define GERD:

A 
Backward flow (“reflux”) of GI contents into 
esophagus, caused by loosened LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter)
20
Q

What is the most common symptom of GERD?

A

Heart burn

21
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of GERD?

A
  • Heartburn
  • Regurgitation
  • May also report respiratory symptoms
22
Q

GERD complications include:

A 
•Esophagitis
•Barrett’s esophagus (chronic esophagitis, with changes at the cellular level
(esophageal metaplasia)
•Respiratory s/s:
•Cough, bronchospasms
23
Q

Diagnostic tests for GERD:

A
  • Barium swallow

* EGD

24
Q

Due to the cost/discomfort of GERD diagnostic tests, name another option:

A

Due to cost/discomfort, often a
high-dose PPI x 2 weeks is given as a first
step in diagnosing GERD

25
Q

Lifestyle modifications for GERD:

A
  • Avoid triggers

* Quit smoking (immediate improvement in LES)

26
Q

Nutritional therapy for GERD:

A
  • Avoid fatty foods
  • Small, frequent meals w/ no fluids during meals (result: decreases distention)
  • Avoid late night snacking; Keep HOB up/allow patient to sit up for 2-3 hrs pc (after meals)
  • Elevate HOB with 4-6 inch blocks
  • Weight loss, if indicated (decreases intra-abdominal pressure)
27
Q

True or False?

There are available drug therapy options for GERD

A

True

28
Q

What are the two procedural options for severe GERD?

A

LINX device insertion & Fundoplication

29
Q

Describe LINX device insertion:

A

• Endoscopic procedure
• Augments the LES with a ring made up of a series of rare earth magnets
• The magnets have sufficient attraction to increase LES closure pressure, but it permits food passage with swallowing
LINX device insertion will strengthen the LES closure

30
Q

Describe Fundoplication:

A

• Endoscopic or open procedure
Open: Patient will have an abdominal insertion with primary intention
Endoscopic/Laparoscopic: Patient will not an incision site, due to the scope procedure

31
Q

Nissan Fundoplication procedure:

A

Provides a 360 degree “wrap” or collar around the esophagus. Mobilization of the fundus is generally accomplished by diving the short gastric vessels to the spleen

32
Q

What is a Hiatal Hernia?

A

Herniation of a portion of the stomach
into the esophagus through an
opening in the diaphragm.
Also known as: diaphragmatic /esophageal hernia

33
Q

What are the causes and the symptoms of a Hiatal Hernia?

A 
Cause: 
Often structural (pressure on LES), such 
as pregnancy, obesity (increases intra- abdominal pressure)

Symptoms:
May be asymptomatic, or if present, similar
to GERD symptoms

34
Q

The treatment for Hiatal Hernia is similar to which other condition?

A

Treatment for Hiatal Hernia is similar to that of GERD

35
Q

How is Barrett’s Esophagus condition confirmed?

A

Confirm with biopsy

36
Q

True or False?

Not everyone who has Hiatal Hernia (HH), has Barrett’s Esophagus.

A

True

37
Q

Those with Barrett’s Esophagus’s risk for developing esophageal cancer is increased by how much??

A

30-40 fold increase
