PROBLEMS LEADIING TO F&E IMBALANCE 1. vomiting – forceful expulsion of stomach content Sx: 1. 2. 3. 4.
nausea dizziness facial flushing abd cramping
assess: amt, freq, force projectile vomiting= increase ICP or pyloric stenosis Mgt: BRAT diet - banana, rice – cereal, apple sauce, toast 2. Diarrhea – exaggerated excretion of intestinal contents Types: Acute diarrhea – related to gastroenteritis, salmoneliosis • •
dietary indiscretions antibiotic use
Chronic non specific diarrhea Cause: 1. 2. 3.
food intolerance excessive fld intake CHO, CHON malabsorption
Assess: freq, consistency, appearance of given colored stool.
Best criteria to determine diarrhea : consistency Complication = dehydration Mild dehydration 5% wt loss Moderate dehydration 10% wt loss Severe dehydration 15 % wt loss Earliest sx of dehydration tachycardia increase temp weight loss tachypnea sunken fontanel & eyeballs scanty urine hypotension absence of tears Severe dehydration: Oliguria , Prolonged capillary refill time Mgt: Acute – NPO ( rest the bowel ) • •
with fluid replacement – IV prone to Hypokalemia – give K chloride before adm of K chloride – check if baby can void, if cant void – hypokalemia
Drug: Na HCO3 – adm slowly to prevent cardiac overload
Gastric Motility Disorder: HIRSCHPRUNGS DISEASE – congenital aganglionic megacolon Aganglionic – absence of ganglion cells needed for peristalis Earliest sign 1. 2. 3.
failure to pass mecomium after 24h abd distension vomitus of fecal material early childhood – ribbon like stool foul smelling stool
constipations diarrhea Dx: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Barium enema – reveals narrowed portion of bowel Rectal Biopsy – reveals absence of ganglionic cells abd x-ray – reveals dilated loops on intestine rectal manometry – revels failure of intestine sphincter to relax
Therapeutic Mgt/Nsg care 1. 2.
NGT feeding – measure tube fr nose to ear to midline of xyphoid & umbilicus surgery
a. b.
temp colostomy anastomosis & pull through procedure Diet: Increase CHON, increase calories , decrease residue – pasta GER- Gastroesophageal Reflux Chalasia – presence of stomach contents to esophagus Will lead to esophagitis complication – aspiration pneumonia
Esophageal cancer Assessment : 1. 2. 3. 4.
chronic vomiting faiture to thrive syndrome organic – organ affected melena or hematemesis – esophageal bleeding
Dx procedure 1. 2. 3.
barium esophogram – reveals reflux esophageal manometry – reveals lower esophageal sphincter pressure intra esophageal pH content – reveals pH of distal esophagus.
Meds of GERD
Anti-cholinergic a. b.
Betanicol ( urecholine) – increase esophageal tone & peristaltic activity Metachloporomide (Reglam) – decrease esophageal pressure by relaxing pyloric & duodenal segments
•
increase peristalsis without stimulating secretions
a.
H2 Histamine Receptor Antagonist – decrease gastric acidity & pepsin secretion
•
Zimetidine, Ranitidine (Zantac) – take 30 min before meals
a.
antacid – neutralizes gastric acid between feedings - Maalox
Surgery: Nissen funduplication : Chronic vomiting – • • •
thickened feeding with baby cereals - effective if without vomiting feed slowly, burp often every 1 ounce positioning < 9 months – infant sit with infant supine > 9 months – prone with head of mattress slightly elevated 30 degree angle
OBSTRUCTIVE DISORDERS A. PYLORIC STENOSIS – hypertrophy of muscles of pylorus causing narrowing & obstruction. 1.) outstanding Sx- projectile vomiting - vomiting is an initial sx of upper GI obstruction - vomitus of upper GI can be blood tinged not bile streaked. (with blood) - vomitus of lower GI is bilous ( with pupu) - projectile vomiting – increase ICP or GI obstruction - abd distension – major sx of lower GIT obst 2.) met alk 3.) failure to gain wt 4.) olive shaped mass – on palpation
5.)serum electrolyte – increase Na & K, decrease chloride 6.) ultrasound 7.) x ray of upper abd with barium swallow reveal "string sign" Mgt: 1. 2.
Pyleromyotomy Fredet Ramstedt procedure
INSTUSSUSCEPTION- invagination or telescoping of position of bowel to another Common site – ilio-secal junction Prone pt: person who eats fat Complication – peritonitis – emergency Sx: 1. 2. 3.
persistent paroxysmal abd pain vomiting currant jelly stool- dye bleeding & inflammation
•
palpate sausage shaped mass
Mgt: 1. 2.
Hydrostatic reduction with barium enema Anastomosis & pull thru procedura
Inborn Errors of Metabolism- deficient liver enzymes PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU) – deficiency of liver enzymes (PHT) Phenylalaninehydroxylase Transferase – liver enzyme that converts CHON to amino acid 9 amino acids: valine isolensine tryptophase lysine phenylalanine Thyronine – decrease malanine production 1. 2. 3.
fair complexion blond hair blue eyes
Thyroxine – decrease basal metabolism - accumulation of Phenyl Pyruvic acid 4.) Atopic dermatitis 5.) musty / mousy odor urine 6.) seizure – mental retardation Test – GUTHRIE TEST – specimen – blood • •
preparation increase CHON intake test if CHON will convert to amino acid
specimen and urine mixed with pheric chloride, presence of green spots at diaper a sign of PKU DIET: Low phenylalanine diet- food contraindicated- meats, chicken, milk, legumes, cheese, peanuts Give Lofenalac- milk with synthetic protein Galactosemia – deficiency of liver enzyme • •
GUPT – Galactose Urovil Phosphatetranferase Converts galactose to phosphate tranferace glucose
Galactose – will destroy brain cells if untreated – death within 3 days Dx: Beutler test – get blood -done after 1st feeding presence of glucose in blood – sign of galactosemia galactose free diet lifetime neutramigen – milk formula CELIAC DISEASE – gluten enteropathy Common gluten food: Intolerance to food with brow B- barley
R- rye O- oat W- wheat Early Sx: 1. 2. 3.
diarrhea – failure to gain wt ff diarrheal episodes constipation vomiting
