Study Notes
Obesity Overview
- Be sensitive to weight conversations.
- Never dismiss weight-related symptoms.
- BMI greater than 30 indicates obesity.
Obesity Complications
- Chronic inflammation throughout the body is a result of obesity.
- Increased fat mass and adipokine production lead to two major consequences: insulin resistance and atherosclerosis.
- Other complications include diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, GERD, NASH, and gallstones.
- Obesity increases the risk of various cancers.
Obesity Precipitating Factors
- Environmental factors, such as prevalence in the deep south and lower socioeconomic statuses, lead to poorer dietary choices.
- Psychosocial factors, including childhood associations and social settings, can influence eating habits.
Nutritional Therapy for Obesity
- Success depends on the amount of weight to be lost.
- Self-motivation is essential for weight loss progress.
- Realistic, healthy lifestyle changes are needed.
- Avoid fad diets.
- Gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes are key.
Drug Therapy for Obesity
- Does not cure obesity, but can decrease appetite.
- Lifestyle changes are still crucial for sustained weight loss.
- Weight returns after discontinuing use of these medications.
Surgical Therapy for Obesity
- BMI greater than 40.
- BMI greater than 35 with additional factors like hypertension and diabetes.
- Insurance coverage may vary based on comorbid conditions.
- Long-term maintenance and lifestyle changes are necessary to sustain results.
Post-Op Care after Obesity Surgery
- Re-sedation is a potential complication.
- Fat cells can retain anesthesia.
- Post-op eating is adjusted to accommodate a smaller stomach.
- Early ambulation, use of compression stockings, and preventive measures like anti-infective skin powders are helpful.
Post-Operative Diet
- First few days consist of clear liquids, omitting sugar, carbonation, and caffeine.
- Progress to full liquids after a few weeks.
- Follow dietary advice from medical professionals for long-term eating patterns.
Post-Op Considerations
- Medication as needed, while also understanding reasons for discomfort in post-op patients, are crucial.
- Assessing for anastomosis leaks is essential.
- Recognizing symptoms like sepsis, hypotension, fever, abdominal pain radiating to the shoulder, and oliguria are key.
- Monitoring for surgical site infections and delayed healing is also vital.
Gastrointestinal System
- Diagnostic studies (X-rays, CT scans, HIDA scans, endoscopic procedures, and lab tests) provide important insights into the GI system.
- Endoscopic procedures, like colonoscopies and esophageal procedures, aid in diagnosis.
- Common lab values for testing pancreatic function, dehydration, and GI-associated conditions are assessed.
Nausea and Vomiting
- Common causes include infections, food poisoning, pregnancy, anxiety, bulimia, medication side effects, and surgical procedures.
- Factors like travel and food intake also need evaluation.
- Assessments include questions about recent travels.
Diarrhea
- More than 3 stools daily is high.
- Infectious organisms (bacteria or viruses) are common causes.
- Other causes such as osmotic issues (lactose intolerance) and medication side effects should also be considered.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Recurrent abdominal pain occurring once a week for at least 3 months is a symptom.
- The cause is often unknown.
- Women are more frequently affected than men.
Appendicitis
- Periumbilical pain progressing to right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain is a key symptom of appendicitis, locating right on McBurney's point.
- Rebound tenderness and guarding in the RLQ may be present.
Peritonitis
- Usually a secondary condition arising from an infected organ or perforation.
- Symptoms include abdominal pain.
Ulcerative Colitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon and rectum.
- Common symptoms include diarrhea, bloody stools, and weight loss.
- Management focuses on controlling diarrhea, inflammation, and pain.
- Dietary restrictions, medications (such as 5-ASA, antimicrobials, biological or targeted therapy, or steroids) and sometimes surgery might be necessary.
Crohn's Disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease affecting parts of the GI tract.
- Symptoms vary but can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss.
- Management may involve nutritional therapy, medications, and surgery depending on the severity and locations involved.
Intestinal Obstruction
- Mechanical (adhesions, hernias, tumors) or non-mechanical (paralytic ileus) causes, can affect the passage of contents through the intestinal tract.
- Varying degrees of symptoms ranging from mild to severe, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and changes in the character and amount of bowel movements.
- Potential for emergency situations from severe obstruction.
Abdominal Trauma
- Blunt or penetrating trauma
- Symptoms may vary widely according to the damage sustained.
- Treatment depends greatly upon the cause and character of the injuries, with an emphasis on resolving issues like shock, airway issues, sepsis, or respiratory issues promptly.
Cirrhosis
- Repeated liver damage leads to scarring.
- Causes include alcohol abuse, hepatitis, biliary obstruction, and other issues.
- Symptoms include jaundice, ascites, bleeding tendencies, and other complications.
Hepatitis
- Inflammation of the liver
- Viral and drug-related causes
- Symptoms generally include flu-like symptoms and jaundice
- Treatment determined by underlying cause
Pancreatitis
- Inflammation of the pancreas
- Common causes include gallstones and alcohol abuse
- Symptoms include severe abdominal pain that radiates to the back, nausea, and vomiting.
Respiratory Distress
- Symptoms can range from mild to severe (involving respiratory arrest)
- It highlights the importance of close monitoring for respiratory status in various medical conditions and situations, to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
Airway Obstructions
- Causes can be allergic, chemical, foreign object, or infection-related.
- Assessment involves evaluation of respiratory distress symptoms, such as shortness of breath, wheezing, stridor, and chest sounds.
- Prompt intervention for possible complete airway obstruction or emergencies is vital.
Tracheostomy
- Surgical opening into the trachea for establishing a respiratory aid for long-term ventilation.
- Potential complications include bleeding, infection, and dislodgement, which require close vigilance and prompt management.
Pneumonia
- Infection of the lung tissue
- Symptoms can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
- Treatment involves medication to combat the primary causative agent.
Esophageal Varices
- Enlarged veins in the esophagus
- A result of cirrhosis or liver disease
- Treatment aims to stop bleeding and prevent recurrence.
