Study Notes
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID)
- FGID are characterized by persistent gastrointestinal symptoms without identifiable structural or biochemical abnormalities.
- These disorders are classified by GI symptoms related to the dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract rather than identifiable physical causes.
- The term 'functional' reflects the disorders' origins in gut functioning instead of organic disease, emphasizing symptoms rather than structural issues.
Classification of Disorders
- Functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders are classified based on the Rome IV criteria, categorizing them according to specific symptom patterns and dysfunction.
- FGID and motility disorders account for approximately 40% of gastrointestinal problems seen by doctors and therapists.
Specific Disorders Under Rome IV Criteria
- Under 'Gastroduodenal disorders', conditions such as functional dyspepsia are categorized according to the Rome IV criteria.
- 'Functional heartburn' is characterized by non-cardiac chest pain with symptoms similar to heartburn but lacking identifiable gastroesophageal reflux.
Additional Disorders
- 'Narcotic bowel syndrome (NBS)' or opioid-induced GI hyperalgesia is classified as a functional gastrointestinal disorder according to the Rome IV criteria.
- 'Centrally mediated abdominal pain syndrome (CAPS)' is associated with chronic abdominal pain without physiological basis, emphasizing a central nervous system dysfunction.
- 'Rumination syndrome' falls under the classification of functional GI disorders, involving repetitive regurgitation and re-chewing of food.
Pneumothorax Details
- A spontaneous pneumothorax typically occurs in tall, thin adolescents, often following prolonged flights or contact sports.
- The initial treatment for a large pneumothorax in a hypoxic patient includes performing needle decompression or chest tube insertion.
- Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax may occur in patients with chest trauma-related conditions such as rib fractures.
- A small pneumothorax generally resolves conservatively at a rate of approximately 1% per day.

Description
Learn about functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), a group of disorders characterized by chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in the absence of demonstrable pathology on conventional testing. Understand how FGID are classified as disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI).
