When to do endoscopy patient with GI bleed?
Most patients within 24 hours
When to do endoscopy in patient with GI bleed with hemodynamic compromise?
Stabilize then do endoscopy within 12 hours
What is the hemoglobin threshold to do blood transfusion?
Hemoglobin less than 7 mg/dl if without cardiac or respiratory compromise
Hemoglobin less than 10 mg/dl if with cardiac or Respiratory compromise (heart attack)
disruption in the mucosal integrity of the stomach and duodenum leading to local defect or excavation due to active inflammation
peptic ulcer
True or false. Majority of patient with peptic ulcer patients, about 90%, are asymptomatic
True.
location of 75% of the gastric glands
oxyntic mucosa
what are the gastric glands
mucous neck, parietel, chief, endocine, enterochromaffin, and enterochromaffin-like cells
where are pyloric glands located
antrum
what are the pyloric glands
mucous and endocrine cells
also known as the oxyntic cells
parietal cell
where does acid secretion occur
apical canalicular surface
what are the mucosal defense system
three level barrier composed of preepithelial, epithelial, and subepithelial elements
first line of defense
mucus bicarbonate phospholipid layer which serves as physiochemical barrier
what is mucus made of
90% water and 10% mixture of phospholipids and glycoproteins
second line of defense
surface epithelial cells
true or false. Surface epithelial cells generate heart and shock proteins that prevent protein denaturation
True.
True or false.epithelial cells also generate trefoil factor family peptides and cathelicidins which play a role in surface cell production
True.
refers to the migration of gastric epithelial cells to restore a damaged region
restitution
key component of the subepithelial defense/repair system providing HCO which neutralizes acid
elaborate microvascular system
play a central role in gastric epithelial defense/ repair
prostaglandins
contains abundant levels of prostaglandins
gastric mucosa
from where is prostaglandin derived
esterized arachidonic acid
controls the rate limiting step prostaglandin synthesis
cyclooxygenase
