    Study Notes

    Peptic Ulcers

    • Peptic ulcer is an erosion of the stomach, esophagus, or duodenum's mucosal lining.
    • Duodenum is the most common site.
    • Erosion exposes the epithelium to gastric acid and pepsin, leading to bleeding and perforation.
    • Perforation through all layers can cause peritonitis.
    • Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is diagnosed when someone has a peptic ulcer.

    Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) Infection

    • H. pylori infection is a common cause of peptic ulcers.
    • Transmission is through food, water, or contact with body fluids.
    • Not everyone infected develops ulcers.

    Stress Ulcers

    • Stress ulcers develop from acute stress, e.g., burns, shock, sepsis, or trauma.
    • Different from peptic ulcers clinically.
    • Multiple lesions in stomach and proximal duodenum.
    • Can occur in ventilated ICU patients.
    • Curling's ulcer: associated with burns
    • Cushing's ulcer: linked to head/brain trauma.
    • Bleeding is a primary symptom.
    • Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often used prophylactically in trauma patients to prevent stress ulcers.

    Health Promotion and Prevention

    • Moderate alcohol consumption.
    • Quit smoking and tobacco use.
    • Stress management strategies.
    • Use NSAIDs with care, as directed by a healthcare professional.
    • Limit caffeine.
    • Maintain a balanced diet.
