What is the recommended TREATMENT for LARGE BILOMAS?
PERCUTANEOUS DRAIN and BILIARY STENT
In a patient with CHRONIC PANCREATITIS and a BILIARY STRICTURE, what is the CRITERIA for ERCP treatment?
CBD >12 mm and ALP >3 X normal
What is the BEST association for SOD?
BILIARY PAIN post-CHOLECYSTECTOMY
In which SOD TYPE is the use of Sphincter of Oddi Manometry (SOM) predictive of good outcome with ERCP/Sphincterotomy?
SOD Type-II
When is EUS/FNA needed for a MALIGNANT BILIARY OBSTRUCTION?
If planning on PRE-OP NEOADJUVANT therapy or there is a DELAY in SURGERY
If a patient presents with a MALIGNANT BILIARY OBSTRUCTION and has SURGERY planned soon, do they require biliary DRAINAGE (T.Bili <14)?
NO
Wht MUST be done PRIOR to an ERCP when a HILAR MALIGNANCY is suspected?
MRCP
Besides biliary obstruction, what can AMPULLARY TUMORS and pancreatic ADENOCARCINOMA cause?
Idiopathic PANCREATITIS
Prior POST-ERCP pancreatitis, FEMALE, previous ACUTE RECURRENT pancreatitis, suspected SOD, young age <40, ABSENCE of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS, NORMAL BILIRUBIN are all risk factors for?
Post-ERCP PANCREATITIS
At what AGE should a patient with a LYNCH genetic mutation be SCREENED for COLON cancer?
At the age of 20-25 and every 1-2 years thereafter
During the FIRST WEEK of treatment of ACUTE PANCREATITIS, what determines SEVERITY and PROGNOSIS?
The presence of ORGAN FAILURE (renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular)
How elevated do the AMYLASE/LIPASE values need to be to diagnose ACUTE PANCREATITIS?
3 X upper limit of normal
If concerned for NECROSIS in a patient with ACUTE PANCREATITIS, when should a CT scan WITH CONTRAST be performed?
At least 3 DAYS AFTER the diagnosis of pancreatitis
What should be performed in ALL patients in whom GALLSTONE PANCREATITIS is suspected?
US
Acute pancreatitis grade WITHOUT ORGAN FAILURE (renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular) WITHOUT LOCAL COMPLICATIONS (fluid collection, necrosis) WITHOUT SYSTEMIC COMPLICATIONS (worsening of an uderlying medical condition)?
MILD
Acute pancreatitis grade WITH TRANSIENT ORGAN FAILURE <48 HOURS (renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular) WITH LOCAL COMPLICATIONS (fluid collection, necrosis) WITH SYSTEMIC COMPLICATIONS (worsening of an uderlying medical condition)?
MODERATE
Based on an ADMISSION CT, can MILD ACUTE PANCREATITIS be radiologically diagnosed within the first 48 HOURS?
NO
Acute pancreatitis grade WITH PERSISTENT ORGAN FAILURE >48 HOURS (renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular)?
SEVERE
A patient who is >60 yo, BMI >30, first ACUTE PANCREATITIS attack, multiple COMORBIDITIES, PLEURAL EFFUSIONS, and SIRS have what type of prognosis?
MUCH HIGHER RISK for SEVERE PANCREATITIS
TWO or more of: Pluse >90 bpm; TEMP <36 C or >38 C; WBC <4,000 or >12,000; RESPIRATIONS >20 bpm; PCO2 <32 mm Hg is indicative of what?
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)
Do the levels of AMYASE/LIPASE correlate with SEVERITY of ACUTE PANCREATITIS?
NO
