🗑
duodenal ulcer pathophys   occur in first portion of suodenal, deep and penatrate muscle layer.  
🗑
charteristics duodenal ulcer   increase acid secretion(increase in pH for long periods)  
🗑
causes of acid stimulation   high protein foods, calcium, vagal stim. most cases of duodenal have + H.Pylori  
🗑
Stress ulcer   occur with medical crisis/trauma( head injury, burns, respiratory failure, shock, sepsis)

🗑
pyloric obstruction s/s:   N/V, bloating, electo imbalance (hypochlor, or hypokal)  
🗑
Tx of pyloric obstruction:   IV fluids and electrolytes  
🗑

🗑
DX tests:   hmg,hct= if bleeding occured; Barium=duo; EGD:most accurate means of DX. IgG for H.pylori, stool testing.  
🗑
Interventions:   drug combos:pepto/priolsec and flagyl;zantac, nexium ect.. also cytotec with NSAIDs can be used( reduce acid secretion)  
🗑
antiacids:   buffer gastric acid, taken 2 hr after meals; many drugs interact with so take 1-2 hr before or after.  
🗑
teaching:   pt with Na+ restrict= avoid alumun. and Mg+.Riopan is lowest Na+ content.  
🗑
diet therapy:   bland diet, 6 smaller meals,  
🗑
interventions:   hypovelemic management=occurs with bleeding or vomitting; monitor I&O, electos, volume replace:NS LR, Blood, Fresh frozen plasma.  
🗑
occlut blood:   need 3 stools all +  
🗑
s/s oh hypovelmic shock:   hypotension, weak thready pulse, chills, diaphoresis, palpations. Tx: transfusions, H2 blockers, and NG lavage (50-200ml NS and continue untilpk returns w/o clots- postion pt on left side)
