Post op GI surgical complications | DUMPING SYNDROME-occurs in 50% of pts. due to rapid emptying of HYPERTONIC chyme after meals |
Name one of the MOST COMMON complications of GI surgery: | Nutritional deficits - vitamin & mineral malabsorption and anemia...must be assessed for in all post-op GI surgical pts. and treated collaboratively |
What is a SYSTEMIC S&S related to decreased blood volume in Dumping syndrome | diaphoresis(sweating) |
Name 2 nursing interventions to manage dumping syndrome? | Teach the patient to drink minimal liquids with meals and to lie down on LEFT side after eating for 20-30 minutes |

Nursing Managment (intervention)of GI bleed: | Vital signs q 15 minutes |
What is SHOCK??? | Life threatening-inadequate supply of O2 & nutrients to cells from INADEQUATE TISSUE PERFUSION |
Most common form of shock: | HYPOVOLEMIC-lack of(inadequate)circulating blood volume (HEMORRHAGE) |
What is the main goal of the body when in hypovolemic shock? | RESTORE TISSUE PERFUSION |
what is happening in hypovolemic shock during compensatory mechanism? | Cardiac output falls,arterial BP decreases within seconds which stimulates the carotids & pressoreceptors in the aorta to sense the falling BP... "FightorFlight" |
Compensatory mechanism vs. effect | adrenal medulla is stimulated to release epinephrine & norepinephrine = vasoconstriction(increased B/P & pulse) |
Compensated stage(2nd)AKA reversible stage | BP-systolic is normal slightly decreased-decreased stroke volume, diastolic is normal and slightly increased(vasoconstriction) and pulse increased 20 beats above pts. normal, respirations are increased in rate & depth-increased CO2 in blood. |
Progressive stage if comp.mech.has failed | Respirations greater then 20 tachypneic and urine output(oliguria)less than 30ml/hr,increase in specific gravity |
ER care in Pt with hypovolemic shock | nrsg assmnt-ensure pt has adequate tissue perfusion,s&s of shock q 15 min,maintain IV 0.9%NS,whole blood, position pt. supine w/lower extremities slightly elevated,keep warm N quiet. |
what pharmacologic care would you use for pt.in hypovolemic shock? | Dopamine, epinephrine or Levophed IV (which are potent vasoconstrictors.) |
Clinical picture of ANEMIA: | pallor,progressive weakness and fatigue with activity intolerance, bone pain die to increased RBC,growth restriction & delayed sexual maturation in child with chronic anemia. |
Top two Nrsg dx for anemaia: | Activity Intolerance, Alteration in Nutrition less than body reqrmnts |
Types of Anemia: | APLASTIC ANEMIA-impaired erythrocyte production of RBCs & SICKLE CELL ANEMIA- increased erythrocyte destruction |
Option of anemia or shock: | anemia |
Reduction or destruction of RBCs which decreases the O2 carrying capacity of the blood | Anemia |
Definitoin of Aplastic anemia | Dx by physical symptoms, normal or decreased RBC,decreased WBC,decreased platelets(pancytopenia),prolonged bleeding time,bone marrow biopsy |

What is esophageal artesia &/or tracheosophageal fistula? | The esophagus fails to develop into a continuous passage,a fistula or pathway develops from the esophagus to the trachea (95% of these infants have tracheal fistulas-TEF |
Etiology of TEF | Cause of TEF is unknown but there is a high incidence of prematurity in infants with this |
