Endterm Flashcards
(147 cards)
Radiographic examination which includes the distal part of esophagus, stomach, duodenum and proximal part of jejunum with the use of barium sulfate.
UPPER GI SERIES
11 Indications for UGIS
Diverticulum, gastritis, gastric outlet obstruction, sol, abdominal new growth, peptic ulcer, duodenal atresia, hiatal hernia, tumor, polps, bezoar
Remember (UGIS)
Activities of the stomach, stomach habitus, regions of abdomen, quadrants of abdomen, stomach habitus, variation of stomach, and structures adjacent to stomach
3-6 inches inferiorly esp. distal and pyloric portion with pylorus moving as high a T12 and as low as the sacrum
Erect
Best depiction of relationship of stomach to the spine which measurements indicates the depth of retro-gastric space
Left lat erect
offer most superior displacement of stomach in this the gastric contents tends to flow into the fundus with some air within the stomach while fluid gravitates to the most dependent portion of the stomach. Best demonstrate the DCS of the body of stomach and pylorus.
Supine
greater tendency for a lower position of the stomach than in supine and to fall obliquely. Forward and downward. Barium tends to gravitates and fills up the distal end of the body of stomach, pylorus, bulb, and C-loop while there is usually mixtures of air and barium and BA. Coated mucosa of the fundus, thus DCS is achieved in the fundus
Prone
Llr swing backwards
Rlr
Dcs of body of stomach
Oblique/lao
Caused of barium retention in the stomach
Hypoacidity and emotional stress
Things to do?
Bowel preparation
Patient preparation
Two methods of administering the cm

Ways of producing air in the stomach?
Two straw one outside one inside, breath thru his/her mouth of swallow air after ingestion of barium, Gas producing tablet- gastroluft, ez gas, ans alka seltzer, carbonated drinks
Pylorus and bulb for hypersthenic (45* cranially)
Gordon’s modification
Infants (35* cranially)
Gugliantini modification
Demonstrate a leaf like pattern of pylorus and bulb
Hamptons modification
Retro-gastric space to evaluate pancreatic mass
Popple’s method
35* hiatal hernia
Sommer-foegelle method
Rao
