Study Notes
Dumping Syndrome
- Rapid emptying of the hypertonic chime of the stomach
Early Signs and Symptoms
- Weakness
- Tachycardia
- Dizziness
- Diaphoresis
- Pallor
- Feeling of fullness or discomfort
- Nausea
- Explosive diarrhea, abdominal cramps, borborygmi
Late Signs and Symptoms
- Hyperglycemia → increased insulin secretion → hypoglycemia
Collaborative Management
- Eat in recumbent or semi-recumbent position
- Lie down after meal (left side)
- Small, frequent feedings
- Moderate fat, high protein diet. Fats slow down gastric motility; proteins increase colloidal osmotic pressure and prevent shifting of plasma
- Limit carbohydrates, no simple sugars
- Give fluids after meals
- Avoid very hot and cold foods and beverages
- Anticholinergic or antispasmodic as ordered
