16
Q

what special diet is given for Acute Pancreatitis

A

aim to prevent malnutrition
feed enterocytes and rest pancreas
high digestibility, low fat

17
Q

management of complications of Acute Pancreatitis

A

omeprazole
AB
corticostroids

18
Q

when to give antiemetics in case of Acute Pancreatitis

A

intially even if no vomiting
maropitant, ondansetron, metoclopramide

19
Q

what analgesiacs to give in case of Acute Pancreatitis

A

opioids
fentanyl ketamine lidocaine
fentanyl patch
avoid NSAIDS *ulcerogenic, nephrotoxic)

20
Q

fluid therapy in Acute Pancreatitis

A

pancreas susceptible to hypovolemia
give colloids or crystalloids or plasma transfusion

21
Q

Predisposed Chronic Pancreatitis

A

cats > dog
middle/ old aged
more common than acute

22

recurrent postprandial pain
no appetite
vomitting
haematochezia / colitis
severe acute peritonitis
extrahepatic bile duct obstruction
end stage DM, EPI

24
Q

diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis

A

cPLI is preferred
histology
