Necrotizing Enterocolitis:
-presenting age
-medical management
-surgical management
-Within 1 month of birth
-NPO, IVF, transfuse prn, Abx. 50% resolve within 7-10 days
-Surgery: only with perforation. Perform resection with stoma as anastomotic leaks & stricture are common
Mechanism of action:
-Aztreonam
-Ceftriaxone
-Ciprofloxacin
-Metronidazole
-Tetracycline
-Erythromycin, Clindamycin, Linezolid
-Monobactam blocks cell wall synthesis. Resistant to beta-lactamase. Low PCN cross-reactivity.
-Beta-lactam. Blocks cell wall synthesis.
-Inhibit DNA gyrase & topoisomerase
-Creates free radicals
-Blocks 30S ribosome for protein synthesis
-Blocks 50S ribosome
Step up treatment of Shatzki’s ring
Dilation
Steroid injection before dilation
Endoscopic incision
Surgical intervention
These are mostly mucosal without muscular involvement.
Protective against Barretts esophagus
Always have associated hiatal hernia
Dopamine effect at doses:
Low
Med
High
LOW: Dopamine receptor
-renal, mesenteric, cerebal vasodilation
MED: Beta 1
-increased cardiac contractility & HR
HIGH: Alpha 1
-vasoconstriction
Top two causes of morbidity in the elderly:
- Falls
- MVC
Young male, fever, elevated WBC and ESR, “Onion peel” on xray. Dx?
Ewings sarcoma
MC: pelvic location
T: radiation to pelvis/spine, chemo and surgery for long bones
Treatment of CMV infection
Ganciclovir, Foscarnet, Cidofovir
Inhibit DNA polymerase
[valganciclovir is a po med]
Burn medication side effects:
-mafenide acetate
-silver nitrate
-silver sulfadiazine
-polymyxin B, neomycin, bacitracin
-mupirocin
-metabolic acidosis (moa: carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) penetrates eschar
-methemoglobinemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia
-neutropenia (good for candida coverage though) cannot penetrate eschar
-nephrotoxicity
-(treats MRSA)
Caprini Risk Assessment
5 points
3 points
5 points: poly-trauma, >6hr surgery, stroke, hip/pelvis/leg fracture, spinal cord fx/ paraplegia, major LE arthroplasty
3 points: age >75, personal/family hx of VTE, on chemotherapy, thrombophilias (inherited or hep induced)
Caprini Risk Assessment
2 points
1 point
Women specific
2 points: age 60-74, surgery >45 min, diagnosis of cancer, bedbound, central line, plaster cast, minor arthroplasty
1point: age 40-59, minor surgery, BMI>30, COPD, MI, CHF, IBD, swollen legs/varicosities, hx of major surgery, medically bed bound
Women: pregnant, hx spont abortions, OCP/hormonal therapy
Pancreas exocrine function tested by secretin test:
Effect on volume, bicarb, & enzyme
-cancer
-chronic pancreatitis
-malnutrition
Cancer: volume low, bicarb/amylase normal
Chronic: volume nml, bicarb low, amylase nml
Malnutrition: volume nml, bicarb nml, amylase low
End stage pancreatitis: all low
Zollinger Ellison: volume high
62F abd pain and diarrhea
CT scan: mass in ileum with desmoplastic reaction tethering small bowel and mass in liver
Diagnosis and next steps in work up
Carcinoid tumor
Obtain urinary 5-HIAA
(chromogranin A elevated w/ PPI use)
Imaging: 68Ga-Dotatate PET CT
Grade: Ki-67
Sx control: octreotide or lanreotide
GI neuroendocrine tumors originate from what cells?
enterochromaffin cells (Kulchitski cells)
Pain medication with little histamine release
Fentanyl & Tramadol
Bleomycin side effect
Pulmonary toxicity = fibrosis
Decreased lung volume and decreased DLCO
Hypothermia
Mild, Moderate, Severe, Profound
MILD- shivering, mental changes, tachycardia
MODERATE- agitation, combative, pupil dilation, muscle spasm, slowing respirations, decreased PVR leads to Afib and hypotension
SEVERE- flaccid, comatose, EKG w/ prolong QRS, osborne waves, leads to V fib and arrest
PROFOUND- loss of vital signs, cardiac activity, EEG
Gastrintestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)
Diagnosis and management
Express CD117
mutation in KIT proto-oncogene
If >2cm, segmentally resect w/ R0 margin without lymphadenectomy
Can consider imatinib to shrink if needed
Prognosis based on size and mitotic count
Barretts Esophagus
long segment vs short segment disease
short segment < 3cm
long segment >3cm
Barretts without dysplasia repeat endoscopy 3-5 years
Barretts Esophagus surveillance intervals
No dysplasia: 3-5 years
Low grade dysplasia: 6-12 months +/- endoscopic ablation
High grade dysplasia: endoscopic ablation, 3 months
Rectal cancer indication for neoadjuvant chemoradiation
T3, T4, or node positive
If shrinking can make it sphincter sparing
Rectal cancer indication for transanal excision
T1 (submucosa) cancer in mid/distal rectum with:
tumor <3cm in diameter
tumor <30% of bowel lumen circumference
mobile & nonfixed
need clear margins, favorable features, no nodes
aggressive postop screening
