GRCC AD 155 Upper GI
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| GERD | Backward flow of gastric contents into the esophogus. |
| Physiogical factor is an __________________ Lower Esophageal sphincter (LES) | Incompetent |
| Incompentent LES | Physiological factor that leads to GERD |
| Transient relaxation | Physiological factor that affect fxn of LES & leads to GERD r/t substances such as ETOH, tomato sauce, spicy food and chocolate. |
| Transient relaxation of LES is caused by what substances? | Chocolate, ETOH, tomato sauce, spicy food. |
| Increased pressure in the stomach leads to what? | Leads to GERD, |
| What causes increased pressure in the stomach? | r/t overeating, delayed emptying |
| Which drug delays stomach emptying? | Acarbose (diabetic drug) |
| How does chocolate, ETOH, spicy foods, tomatoes effet the LES? | They can prevent the LES from restricting properly. |
| Fxn of lower esophageal sphincter | Is to keep gastric juices and food from backing up to the esophogus. |
| A complication of GERD that leads to scarring in esophagus caused by exposure to acid. | erosive esophagitis |
| Erosive esophagitis | Which complication of GERD leads to difficulty and painful swallowing? |
| How does scarrs develop withErosive esophagitis? | back up of acids into esophagus, leads to ulcerations, tissue tearing and bleeding |
| What is the horrible pain from erosive esophagitis caused from? | Stricture (restriction caused by scarring in the esophagus from acid back up) |
| This GERD complication is the step before cancer d/t epithelium changes | Barretts esophagus |
| What disease causes stomach lining (epithelium) to become resistant to acid? | Barretts esophagus is caused by stomach acid backing up to esophagus, causing changes to the epithelium. |
| This complication of GERD occurs when there is scarring which causes narrowing of the esophagus? | Esophageal stricture |
| What do you need done if you've been diagnosed with esophageal stricture? | You will need your esophagus dilated. |
| what causes increased gastric pressure? | tight clothing and obesity. |
| Which position do you avoid to prevent gastric contents from moving upward? | Lying down or bending. |

| Which factors lead to relux? a) incr gas volume B) sitting up at a 45 degree angle. C} tight clothing d) A condition where part of the stomach sticks up towards chest thru opening of diaphragm? | The correct answers A, C, D. |
| Heartburn | dyspepsia |
| A manifestation of GERD that occurs after eating a high fat meal, bending over or reclining flat? | Heartburn |
| A manifestation of GERD when the movement of stomach contents from the stomach back up through the esophagus. | regurgitation |

| A manifestation of GERD that causes painful swallowing? | odynophagia. |
| Diagnostic tests for GERD | Barium swallow, EGD, and 24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring. |
| Barium Swallow | Records flow of barium through esophagus. |
| EGD | A gastra scope is used that goes down mouth to esophagus into stomach, and can also look at hepatatic duct. |
| This test measures the duration and frequency of acid levels (pH) within 24 hour | 24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring |
| Bravo capsule | A wireless system that is attached to an area of the esophagus that monitors frequency and duration of reflux episodes. |
| This diagnostic test for GERD eventually falls out after 48 hours | bravo capsule. |
| Another way to measure duration and frequency of reflux episodes over a 24 hour period. | A cath is inserted through the nose and into esophagus. |
| medications for GERD | Antacids, H2 receptor blockers (histamine blockers) PPI's, and Prokinetic drugs. |
| Antacids | Neutralizes stomach acids and relieves heartburn pain. |
| This is available in liquid suspensioin and chewable tablets | Antacids |

| which of the following antacids contain aluminum compounds? a) Maalox, MOM, amphogel, rolaids b) Maalox, Mylanta, amphogel, riopan c) Maalox, mylanta, amphogel, rolaids d) Maalox, Tums, amphogel and rolaids | C |
| Antacids that contain calcium compounds | TUMS |
| Which antacids contain sodium Bicarbonate? a) Baking Soda & MOM b) Baking Soda, rolaids c) Baking soda, TUMS d) Baking soda, Alka Seltzer | D |
| This GERD med does NOT neutralize the acid | Histamine blockers (H2 receptors) |
| How doed H2 receptors work? | They block histamine, which in turn stop stimulation of hydrochloride acid |
| What do H2 receptor drugs end in? | tidine |
| what do PPI's end in? | prazole |
| Blocking what immune response decreases stimulation that decreases Hcl acid resuling in less GERD? | Histamine is blocked by the H2 receptors that stops the action to produce acid in stomach. |
| Which H2 blocker must be taken before eating, increases level of dilantin and coumadin, and shouldn't be used often due to drug interactions? | Tagamet (climetidine) |
| Why should you take tagamet (climetidine) with food? | Cuz food absorbs the drug and decreases it's effectiveness |
| Which h2 blocker decreases libido, causes impotence, confusion and hallucinations? a) Ranitidine (Zantac) b) Famotidine (pepcid) c) climetidine (tagamet) d) Nizatidine (axid) | C |
| C | Which H2 blockers can be taken IV and PO? (choose all that apply) a) Ranitidine (Zantac) b) Famotidine (pepcid) c) climetidine (tagamet) d) Nizatidine (axid) |
| Which H2 blockers can be taken IV, PO, IM? (choose all that apply) a) Ranitidine (Zantac) b) Famotidine (pepcid) c) climetidine (tagamet) d) Nizatidine (axid) | A |
| Which H2 blockers can be taken IV push or drip and PO? (choose all that apply) a) Ranitidine (Zantac) b) Famotidine (pepcid) c) climetidine (tagamet) d) Nizatidine (axid) | B |
| Which H2 blockers can be taken PO only? (choose all that apply) a) Ranitidine (Zantac) b) Famotidine (pepcid) c) climetidine (tagamet) d) Nizatidine (axid) | D |
| Suppresses gastric acid secretions that blocks final pathway of acid productions | Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) |
| How long does proton pump inhibitors (PPI) last? | Affects last long after drug is cleared from the body. |
| which GERD medicine has less side effects or side effects are rare? H2 blockers of PPI's? | PPI's |
| Which GERD medication can you take on an empty stomach? | PPI's |
| Which PPI's can be taken orally and IV? a) Omeprazole (prolosec or zegrid) b) Lansoprazole (Prevacid) c) Rabeprazole (Aciphex) d) Pantoprazole (Protonix) e) Esomeprazole (nexium) | B, D |
| Why does pantoprazole (protonix) require a filter with an IV? | Contains precipitates that can leak out. |
| Which PPI's can Increase digoxin levels by 20%? a) Omeprazole (prolosec or zegrid) b) Lansoprazole (Prevacid) c) Rabeprazole (Aciphex) d) Pantoprazole (Protonix) e) Esomeprazole (nexium) | C |

| This is a prokinetic med for GERD which enhances esophogeal clearance and gastric emptying? | metocloprimide (reglan) |
| Reglan increases what? | Increases gastric mobility in order to speed food through vs food sitting in the stomach. |
| What is the function of Reglan with regards to the effect it has increasing gastric mobility? | Increased pressure in the stomach (leads to GERD) & occurs d/t delayed emptying...the benefit of this med is to increase mobility to help with decrease stomach pressure. |
| Another function of reglan is to tighten what? | the LES, so that food won't back up into esophagus. |
| the decrease in reflux and regurgitation | Reglan tightens the LES resulting in |
| What are some procedures done to combat GERD if meds and other interventions don't work and pt has s/sx of Barretts or ersosive esophagus? | Nissen fundoplication |
| Nissent fundoplication is performed open surgery or laproscopy? | Either one. |
| Nissen fundoplication | known as stomach wrap |
| What is the procedure with nissen fundoplication | No incision is made in the stomach; instead the stomach is wrapped around the Lower esophogus like a taco and sutured together. |
| If someone has a nissen fundoplication what aren't they able to do? | No longer able to belch or vomit. |
| What restrictions following nissen fundoplication | No longer drink soda pop r/t lack of ability to belch. |
| What are things you'd tell the patient before surgery on what to expect following the surgery. | They will have an NG tube for drainage and C&DB d/t shallow respirations. |
| why do nissen post op patients have an NG tube and are NPO? | to prevent Nausea and vomiting- retching can cause ripping of suture. |
| Teaching a post-op nissen the proper way to cough and why its important? | The procedure causes a lot of pain, resulting in shallow breathing, to minimize pain with c&DB they should splint with a pillow. |
| On d/c day post nissen, what teaching do you give people? | Avoid food and fluid at bedtime, frequent small meals, avoid items that cause gas |
| Why avoid food and fluid at bedtime following nissen? | cuz food and fluid acan put pressure on LES. |
| Why small frequent meals following nissen? | so as not to stretch sutured area. |
| Things that cause gas bloating syndrome include: | Carbonated beverages, gum chewing, drinking with a straw, gas producing foods, and lifting and straining. |
| Less invasive procedure compared to laproscopic or open surger? | Incisionless fundoplication (esophyx) same as nissen fundoplication, but without incision. |
| Stretta procedure thru endoscope does what | puts tiny holes in esophogeal lining & as the holes heal, they tighten and contract the LES. |
