Small Intestine And Colon - Dr. Dobson Flashcards
(204 cards)
most common site of GI neoplasia in Western populations
colon
when does the intestines rapidly grow and what happens
week 4 and 5
= causing the abd cavity to be overfull and intestines herniate out the umbilical cord
week 4
NCC enter foregut
week 7
NCC reach the hindgut
week 9
cloaca becomes patent and villus formation begins
week 11
mature SM layers along GI tract
procedure for the capsule endoscopy
- fasting prior to swallowing capsule
- Capsule goes through GI
- wireless recorder around waist receives signals from capsule by sensors on pt body
capsule advantages
no sedation

80% of mechanical obstructions in GI are from what 4 things
- Hernia
- Adhesions
- Vovlulus
- Intussusception
common SX of SIO
constipation, ABD distention and Pain, Vomiting
Functional Bowel obstruction
paralysis of ileus due to peristalsis disturbance from NO mechanical obstruction = usually from postoperative ileus = hypokalemia = hypothyroidism = anti-cholinergics
hernias can cause what
trapped vein causing blood to pool and get stuck leading to infarction
what can cause adhesions
surgery
trauma
intraabdominal infection
endrometriosis
most common cause of obstruction World wide and in US and in children under 2yo
World : Hernias
US : adhesion
children under 2yo : intussusception
vovulus happens most frequently where
Sigmoid colon**
cecum/ SI / stomach, rarely TC
patient with obstruction what do you do first
restore electrolyte imbalance
then do endoscopic decompression
who is in risk of intussusception
viral infection, rotavirus vaccination , tumor in GI, 1% Cystic Fibrosis patients
angiodysplasia
small fragile, swollen and easily rupturing small mucosal and submucosal vessels, usually in colon and right side of colon (AC) or cecum
= after 6th decade in life
SMA supplies what
illeum, AC, 2/3 TC
IMA supplies
1/3 TC, DC, Sigmoid Colon, Rectum
Celiac supplies
left stomach, liver, spleen
what vessels are big arteries that would cause ischemia in a large area of the instestines
- Ileocolic A
- Right Colic A
- Middle Colic
- Marginal A ** esp**
- Left Colic
- Signmoid A
Mesenteric Venous thrombosis happens how
- Hypercoagulable state
- Tumors
- Trauma
- Cirrhosis
Vascular Obstruction caused by
- severe atherosclerosis
- AAA
- Cardiac mural thrombi
- Vasculitis
