INTRODUCTION

Choledocholithiasis is the presence of gallstones in the common bile duct. This condition causes jaundice and liver cell damage, and is a medical emergency, requiring the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure or surgical treatment. A tendency for this disease can be inherited. Doctors can use a blood test of alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and cholesterol to diagnose choledocholithiasis. However, ultrasound demonstrating an enlarged common bile duct is the test of choice. Treatment involves removing the stone using ERCP. Typically, the gallbladder is then removed, an operation called cholecystectomy, to prevent a future occurrence of common bile duct obstruction. Gallstones are more common among women after 40 years of age and among certain groups of people, such as Native Americans. They are uncommon in children and young adults. The risk factors for gallstone formation include increased age, obesity, a typical Western diet, and a family history of gallstones. About 15% of people with gallstones will develop stones in the common bile duct, the small tube that carries bile from the gallbladder to the intestine. Risk factors include a previous medical history of gallstones. However, choledocholithiasis can occur in people who have had their gallbladder removed. (http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/000274.htm) In the United States, the incidence rate for gallstones is approximately 40% in individuals older than 60 years. In individuals undergoing cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis, 8-15% of patients younger than 60 years have CBD stones, compared to 15-60% of patients older than 60 years. (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/172216-overview) The incidence of cholelithiasis increases after the age of 40 years, affecting 30% to 40% of the population by the age of 80 years. Four times more women than men develop cholesterol stones and gallbladder disease; the women are usually older than 40, multiparous, and obese. The incidence of stone formation rises in users of oral contraceptives, estrogens and clofibrate; these substances are known to increase biliary cholesterol saturation. The incidence of stone formation increases with age as a result of increase hepatic secretion of cholesterol and decrease bile acid synthesis. In addition, there is an increase risk because of malabsorption of bile salts in patients with gastrointestinal disease or T-tube fistula or in those who have had ileal resection or bypass. The incidence also increases in people with diabetes. (endnote 11th edition by brunners and suddarth’s, volume 2) In the Philippines, there were 131 males (18%) and 609 (82%) females, with a female ratio male 4.6:1. Benign lesions comprised 99% (mean age 36), mostly chronic cholelithiasis (97%) and acute cholelithiasis which constituted 15 cases only (2%), malignant lesions comprised only 7 cases for example 1% of all lesions (mean age 65). 4

(http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/gallbladder_chronic_cholelithiasis.htm#epidemiolog y) Reasons for choosing this case: As the group go on with our weekly duty at the Tarlac Provincial Hospital, the group observed a case of choledocholithiasis. So, as nursing students, the group decided to study this kind of case. The significance of studying this case is to enhance or broaden our knowledge as well as the patient’s who are suffering this disease and also to those people who are in high risk of having this disease for us to share our knowledge for the primary prevention and simple interventions of the disease. Importance of the study: It is of fundamental importance that case studies are to be performed in the nursing profession; it is where understanding of the disease’ description, pathophysiology and etiology that satisfactorily contribute to the formation of proper holistic management to the patient is being learned. Thorough exploration and completion of case studies provide nurses a systematic way of looking events analyzing information regarding a certain. It expands medical knowledge and expertise in the nurses’ part The primary significance of the study is to stimulate the mind and awareness of the patient as well as the family members to properly acquire enough knowledge and correct information in dealing and recognizing such kind of disease. To make also the health team to be more aware about the status of our health care system where they can analyze and apply towards themselves and others in fulfilling good health condition. Through this study, the people will know and be aware about what Choledocholithiasis mean when it comes to our health by educating them the importance of this condition. Case study is specially designed to provide information in which both the patient and the student nurse benefits from it. With this, we, as student nurses will be able to provide appropriate nursing interventions that would help in restoring the wellness of the patient in accordance to his or her condition. This is primarily essential because it enhances the student’ skills, knowledge and attitude in the practice of the nursing process. It provides broader understanding about the condition chosen through research and actual observation as it is a training ground and practice in developing learned skills in the assessment and management of the disease. This can serve as an instrument for the future reference of the next nursing students of the school. To share the book based and actual clinical management of the disease and may be used as a base line for more advance and depth study in accordance to the changing society.

Objectives: Comprehensive understanding about the condition will formulate a good perception and information to both patients and nurse in dealing and exploring such kind of disease. These objectives will help to attain such benefits in knowledge and skills to identify Choledocholethiasis. General  Enhance understanding regarding Choledocholethiasis and together factual data and current trends in regards to the condition Specific  Establish rapport with the client thus enhancing communication skills and to be able to gather pertinent information to the client and significant others.  Know and apply corresponding intervention regards to post-op Choledocholithotomy surgery.  Evaluate effectiveness of the nursing intervention rendered.  Perform continuous physical assessment in order to gather pertinent information the disease condition.

Standard and Norms Normal blood pressure varies with age. As a person ages, blood pressure generally increases. The normal blood pressure of an adult is 120/80 mmHg. Normally baroreceptors (Receptors that are located in the walls of most of the great arteries that sense hypotension and initiate reflex vasoconstriction and tachycardia to bring the blood pressure back to normal) help a patient to maintain a normal blood pressure when changing from supine from a sitting or standing position. Processes increasing cardiac output, such as exercise, will normally increase blood pressure. Pulse pressure is normally 30 – 40 mmHg. Normal pulse rate also varies with age. The normal pulse rate of an adult is 60 – 100 BPM. The heart rate normally increases during periods of exertion. Normal pulse rhythm is regular with equal intervals between each beat. The pulse volume is normally the same with each pulse beat. A normal pulse volume can be felt with a moderate amount of pressure of the fingers and obliterated with greater pressure. Capillary refill is an indicator of peripheral circulation. Normal capillary refill may also vary with age, but the color should not return to normal within 2 -3 seconds. (Health Assessment by Mary Elle Zator Estes) Analysis: Based on the standard and norms the patient is hypotensive but he is able to tolerate his condition as evidenced by not experiencing dizziness and body weakness. NUTRITIONAL STATUS The patient weighs 60 kg and 5’7” in height. The patient was on high protein diet. He was given an IV fluid of D5LRS to maintain fluid and electrolytes balance in his body.

Nutrients must be taken equally according to their standards. There should be no problem regarding food and drug allergies and anything associated with nutrition. Nutritional of patient is a good determinant of a possible heart condition. Nutrition can be a prevention and treatment for some diseases. Normal body mass index is 20 – 25, less than 20 is associated with heart problem, and in some people more than 27 indicates higher risk for developing heart problems. (Fundamentals of Nursing 7th Edition by Kozier, Erb, Berman) 16

BMI <16 malnourished 16-19 underweight 20-25 normal 26-30 overweight 31-40 moderately to severely obese >40 morbidly obese Interpretation With regards to Mr. D’s nutritional status, it appears that he is able to meet her nutritional needs and can tolerate all type of foods.

Feces were normally brown, chiefly due to the presence of stercobilin and urobilin, which are derived from bilirubin. An adult usually forms 7 – 10 liters of flatus in the large intestines every 24 hours. Urine elimination should be at least 30 – 50ml per hour when a normal person was urinated and the normal bowel movement is 1 – 2 times per day.

Normally, there are no areas of bleeding. No skin lesions should be present except for freckles, birthmarks or moles, which may be flat or elevated. The skin is dry with minimum of perspiration. Moisture also varies with changes in environment, muscular activity, and body temp. stress and activity levels. Skin surface temp. should be warm and equal bilaterally. Skin surface should be non tender. It should be smooth, even and firm except where there is significant hair growth. When the skin is released, it should returns to its original contour rapidly. Edema should no be present. Terminal hair is found in the eyebrows, eyelashes and scalp, and in the axilla and pubic areas after puberty. Males may experience a certain degree of normal balding and may also develop terminal facial and chest hair. The scalp should be pale white to pink in light skinned individuals and light brown in dark skinned individuals. There should be no signs of infestations or lesions. Dandruff may be present. Hair may feel thin, straight course, thick or curly. It should be shiny and resilient when traction is applied and should no come out in clumps in your hands. Normally, the nails have a pink cast in light skinned individuals and are dark brown in dark skinned individuals. It should be smooth and slightly rounded or flat. Curve nails are normal variant. Nail thickness should be uniform throughout, with no brittle edges. The angle of the nail bed should be approximately 160 degrees. It should be firm on palpation. (Health Assessment by Mary Elle Zator Estes) Interpretation The patient has a poor skin turgor. Dryness of the skin was observed and it can be a sign of dehydration also it may reflects on his age.

6. Anatomy and Physiology

The common hepatic duct is the duct formed by the convergence of the right hepatic duct (which drains bile from the right functional lobe of the liver) and the left hepatic duct (which drains bile from the left functional lobe of the liver). The common hepatic duct then joins the cystic duct coming from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct. The liver is also the largest gland in the human body. It lies below the diaphragm in the thoracic region of the abdomen. It produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion, via the emulsification of lipids. It also performs and regulates a wide variety of high-volume biochemical reactions requiring very specialized tissues. The gallbladder (or cholecyst, sometimes gall bladder) is a small organ whose function in the body is to store bile and aid in the digestive process. The cystic duct is the short duct that joins the gall bladder to the common bile duct. It usually lies next to the cystic artery. It is of variable length. It contains a 'spiral valve', which does not provide much resistance to the flow of bile. Bile can flow in both directions between the gallbladder and the common hepatic duct and the (common) bile duct. In this way, bile is stored in the gallbladder in between meal times and released after a fatty meal. Bile, which is synthesized in the liver, is carried to the right and left hepatic ducts, which converge along with the Cystic duct to form the common hepatic duct. There it enters the superior end of the common bile duct and either empties into the second (and retroperitoneal) part of the duodenum, or enters the cystic duct to be stored in the gallbladder. The duodenum is largely responsible for the breakdown of food in the small intestine. Brunner's glands, which secrete mucus, are found in the duodenum. The duodenum wall is composed of a very thin layer of cells that form the muscularis mucosae. The duodenum is almost entirely

retroperitoneal. The duodenum also regulates the rate of emptying of the stomach via hormonal pathways. Secretin and cholecystokinin are released from cells in the duodenal epithelium in response to acidic and fatty stimuli present there when the pyloris opens and releases gastric chyme into the duodenum for further digestion. These cause the liver and gall bladder to release bile, and the pancreas to release bicarbonate and digestive enzymes such as trypsin, lipase and amylase into the duodenum as they are needed. The pancreatic duct, or duct of Wirsung, is a duct joining the pancreas to the common bile duct to supply pancreatic juices which aid in digestion provided by the "exocrine pancreas". The pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct just prior to the ampulla of Vater, after which both ducts perforate the medial side of the second portion of the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla. The stomach is a highly acidic environment due to hydrochloric acid production and secretion which produces a luminal pH range usually between 1 and 2 depending on the species, food intake, time of the day, drug use, and other factors. Combined with digestive enzymes, such an environment is able to break down large molecules (such as from food) to smaller ones so that they can eventually be absorbed from the small intestine. A zymogen called pepsinogen is secreted by chief cells and turns into pepsin under low pH conditions and is a necessity in protein digestion. The pancreas is a dual-function gland, having features of both endocrine and exocrine glands. •

Endocrine

The part of the pancreas with endocrine function is made up of a million cell clusters called islets of Langerhans. There are four main cell types in the islets. They are relatively difficult to distinguish using standard staining techniques, but they can be classified by their secretion: α cells secrete glucagon, β cells secrete insulin, cells secrete somatostatin, and PP cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide. The islets are a compact collection of endocrine cells arranged in clusters and cords and are crisscrossed by a dense network of capillaries. The capillaries of the islets are lined by layers of endocrine cells in direct contact with vessels, and most endocrine cells are in direct contact with blood vessels, by either cytoplasmic processes or by direct apposition. According to the volume The Body, by Alan E. Nourse, the islets are "busily manufacturing their hormone and generally disregarding the pancreatic cells all around them, as though they were located in some completely different part of the body." •

Exocrine

In contrast to the endocrine pancreas, which secretes hormones into the blood, the exocrine pancreas produces digestive enzymes and an alkaline fluid, and secretes them into the small intestine through a system of exocrine ducts. Digestive enzymes include trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic lipase, and pancreatic amylase, and are produced and secreted by acinar cells of the exocrine pancreas. Specific cells that line the pancreatic ducts, called centroacinar cells, secrete a bicarbonate- and salt-rich solution into the small intestine.

III. CONCLUSION Discipline is one of the major factors needed by the patient with choledolithiasis. He must be able to know on how to tolerate his foods particularly the limitations of fats and cholesterol intake which are one of the major factors that lead for the formation of stones in the gallbladder`. Proper balance nutrition is a good practice for the alleviation and minimal occurrence of this kind of disease. With regards to the patients medical and surgical managements, occurrence of problems such as risk for infection prior to surgery may be prevented by means of proper cleaning of the incision site and medications should be taken as prescribed with proper dosages to avoid any of its adverse or side effects. As we work this kind of study, the group gained wide knowledge and understanding about Choledolithiasis, the problems related to this condition and the different management that should be prioritized in order for us to have positive outcomes in nursing problems. Good nursepatient relationship was also established as we conduct this study. This study helps us to identify measures to prevent complications of the disease and also for them to have understanding about this condition and to practice independent implementation for this kind of disease IV. RECOMMENDATION As nursing students, we should have wide knowledge about our patient’s condition in order for us to give appropriate managements. So we group B3 recommend to our patient to maintain proper diet that is high in protein for faster tissue repair and low salt-low fat diet to prevent aggravation of disease. Drinking sufficient water for at least 8 glasses or more, may also be helpful for proper circulation of nutrients that patient’ take. Patient should always be practice proper intake of his medication and must always obtain proper hygiene especially on the insertion site of the t-tube to prevent secondary infections. Any abnormalities or adverse effects should report to the physician immediately. Patient should also practice independence to promote sense of well-being.
