GALLBLADDER• Pear shaped organ• Stores 30-50 mL of bile• Collects, concentrates and stores bile until
needed for digestion.• Releases bile into the duodenum via the
common bile duct when fat is present.

BILIARY CONDITIONS• Extremely common• Interfere with the normal drainage of
bile into the duodenum• 2 common problems: a. Cholecystitis b. Cholelithiasis • Common in Caucasians/Native
Americans
![Page 6: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Risk Factors
• Sedentary lifestyle•Obesity
•Multiparous women

CHOLECYSTITIS• Acute inflammation of the gallbladder
May result from stones may obstructing the outflow of bile
S/S pain in the ® upper abdomen that may radiate to the ® shoulder, tenderness, rigidity ® upper abdomen
![Page 8: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CHOLECYSTITISAcalculousAcalculous Gallbladder inflammation
without gallstones/absence of obstruction
Occurs after major surgical procedures, severe trauma & extensive burns
![Page 9: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CHOLECYSTITIS
Calculous• Gallbladder inflammation &
stones that obstruct bile flow • Occurs in 90% of the clients
![Page 10: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CHOLELITHIASISCalculi/gallstones— form from the solid constituents of
bile vary greatly in size, shape &
composition increasing prevalent after 40 yrs. of
age; esp. women
![Page 11: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
GALLSTONES
![Page 12: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY• Two major types of gallstones: Pigment StonesCholesterol Stones
![Page 13: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CHOLESTEROL STONES• Account for 80% of gallbladder
disease .• There is a decrease in bile salts & an
increase in cholesterol. • Cholesterol saturated bile causes
gallstones.• This acts as an irritant that produces
inflammatory changes in the gallbladder.
![Page 14: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CHOLESTEROL STONES• Are 2-3x more common in women.• Incidence increases with clients with diabetes.• Stones are usually smooth & are whitish yellow to tan in color.
![Page 15: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
![Page 17: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PAIN/BILIARY COLIC• Classic symptom• Spasms occur in order to move the
stone through the duct.• Excruciating ® upper abdominal pain• May occur 3-6 hours after a heavy
meal• May require analgesics meperidine
![Page 18: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
JAUNDICE• Appears when the Common Bile Duct
(CBD) obstruction is present.• Bile is no longer carried to the
duodenum– absorbed in the blood.• Pruritus • Concentration of bilirubin > 2.5
![Page 19: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
VITAMIN DEFICIENCY• Obstruction of bile flow interferes with
absorption of fat soluble vitamins intestines.• Vitamin A, D, E, K, deficiencies may be
seen.
![Page 20: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CHANGES in URINE & STOOL COLOR
• Urine takes on a very dark color.• Stool no longer with bile pigments
![Page 21: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS
• Abdominal x-ray• Ultrasonography• Endoscopic Retrograde
Cholangiopancreatography – ERCP * nursing implications
![Page 22: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ERCP• Flexible fiberoptic endoscope that
allows for visualization of the hepatobiliary system/place stents.• 90% of the clients do well with this
procedure.• The stone may be extracted or left in
the duodenum to pass naturally.
![Page 23: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

NUTRITIONAL & SUPPORTIVE THERAPY
• Low- fat diet • Foods to avoid • Remind client that fatty foods may
bring on an episode of cholecystitis.
![Page 28: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY• Cholestyramine (Questran)• Urosdeoxycholic acid (Actigall) &
Chenodiol (Chenix) are medications used to dissolve small gallstones/composed of primarily cholesterol .• 6-12 months of therapy is required to
dissolve stones.• Indicated for clients who refuse
surgery/surgery is to risky.

NONSURGICAL REMOVAL of GALLSTONESExtracorporal Shock Wave Lithotripsya. Noninvasive procedureb. Uses repeated shock waves to
disintegrate gallstones.c. Requires no incision & no
hospitalization.d. Has been replaced – Laproscopic
Cholecystectomy
![Page 30: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

SURGICAL MANAGEMENTDone to:a. Relieve persistent symptomsb. Remove the cause of the biliary colicc. Treat acute cholecystitis
![Page 32: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
LAPROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY• Standard of care for Rx. of gallstones.• Small incision is made through the
abdominal wall at the umbilicus.• 4 small incisions are made through the
abd. wall to introduce other surgical instruments.• Abdomen is insufflated with carbon
dioxide – assists in visualizing abd. structures.
![Page 33: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
LAPROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
Advantages :a. Short hospital stayb. Less invasive /shorter healing timec. Less post-op pain/less opiod used. Early ambulation e. Able to resume full activity in about 3-
4 days.f. Incision care is minimal

CHOLECYSTECTOMY• Gallbladder is removed through
abdominal incision.• Drain may be placed – near the gall
bladder bed & brought out through a puncture site for drainage.• Drain usually kept in placed for 24 hrs.
then removed.

![Page 38: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
NURSING INTERVENTION• Fowler’s position• May have NGT • NPO until bowel sounds return, then a soft,
low-fat, low-carbohydrate, high protein diet postoperatively• Care of biliary drainage system• Administer analgesics as ordered and
medicate to promote/permit ambulation and activities, including deep breathing • Turn, and encourage coughing and deep
breathing, splinting to reduce pain • Ambulation
![Page 39: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Patient Teaching• Medications• Diet: at discharge, maintain a nutritious diet and
avoid excess fat. Fat restriction is usually lifted in 4–6 weeks.
• Instruct in wound care, dressing changes, care of T-tube
• Instruct patient and family to report signs of gastrointestinal complications, changes in color of stool or urine, fever, unrelieved or increased pain, nausea, vomiting, and redness/edema/signs of infection at incision site

PANCREAS• Located in upper abdomenFunctions• Exocrine function• Secrete digestive enzymes into the GI tract
through the pancreatic duct.• Amylase, trypsin, lipase
• Endocrine function• secretes insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin
directly into the blood stream
![Page 42: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Pancreatitis• Characterized by the release of
pancreatic enzymes into the tissue of the pancreas itself hemorrhage and necrosis• Can be acute or chronic• Hospitalizations for acute pancreatitis
have increase over the last 15 years• Alcoholism and gall stones are the
primary risk factors.
![Page 43: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Acute Pancreatitis• The pancreatic duct becomes obstructed
and enzymes back up into the duct, causing auto digestion and inflammation of the pancreas.• Minimal organ dysfunction is present.• Characterized by edema and inflammation
which is confined to the pancreas.• Affects all ages – common in middle-aged
men/women• 3x higher in Afro-Americans than
Caucasians
![Page 44: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Risk Factors
• Gallstones – leading cause• Alcoholism• Trauma• Infection -- viral
![Page 45: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Acute Pancreatitis• Self- digestion of the pancreas by its own
enzymes especially trypsin.
• This causes injury to the pancreatic cells or activation of the pancreatic enzymes in the pancreas rather than the intestines.
• Activated trypsin is in the pancreas. This enzyme can digest the pancreas and can activate other proteolytic enzymes.
![Page 46: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Acute PancreatitisClinical Manifestations• Abdominal pain• Pain not relieved not by vomiting• Abdominal tenderness with muscle
guarding• Bowel sounds may be absent/diminished• Hypotension, fever, jaundice

Acute PancreatitisAssessment/Diagnostic Findings• Serum amylase and lipase levels
increased• Other findings – increase in liver
enzymes, bilirubin, triglycerides .• X-rays of the chest and abdomen• Abdominal ultrasound

CHRONIC PANCREATITIS• Progressive inflammatory disorder with
destruction of the pancreas. • Cells are replaced by fibrous tissue. • Repeated attacks of pancreatitis occur
that increase pressure within the pancreas. • Obstruction of the pancreatic and
common bile ducts and destruction of the secreting cells of the pancreas occur.
![Page 52: Biliary Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168ec550346895ddfeb98/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
